Cosplay Feature: Renee4Atlanta's Ironheart!

Happy Halloween to you all! To end this month of features, I wanted to share this INCREDIBLE work by Renee4Atlanta that she helped create and wore at this past Dragon*Con not too long ago. Coming off of Ironheart's debut series, Renee took on the task to recreate the updated look and man is it intense! When you look at the photos, you can first find that of course Renee has a more comfy layer of clothing which the armor pieces are layered on top. From the top, Renee has the iconic Iron Man helmet which is colored red for the outer shell and the mask being a shiny silver shade. From the photos I did find, I don't know if the mask can actually come down or if Renee made this to showcase an open look. Getting down to the rest, you can see how some of the armor is segmented off/layered. Red looks to make up a good chunk of the outer layer whereas the inner portions are silver.

Cosplay Feature: Meagan Marie's Chell from Portal!

Somehow I've only gave cosplayer Meagan Marie one feature way back with her Gabrielle Belmont cosplay. Definitely wanted to change that since this lady is just incredibly talented all around. From her fabrication to her makeup, Meagan brings so much to each of her cosplays. For today, while it does look simple, the pictures looked phenomenal and Meagan herself looks so determined. The cosplay is Chell from the cult hit Portal series. If you're familiar with the character then you probably know what I mean by simple. Meagan is seen wearing the traditional orange jumpsuit in some of the pictures you'll see below but soon enough, she has the top section removed to reveal a white tank top with a light blue shirt underneath. The tank is decorated with the Aperture Laboratories logo, which is the location where Chell underwent tests at the hands of GLaDOS. Her own hair was perfect enough that Meagan didn't require a wig for this cosplay!

With the suit rolled up to her kneecaps, you can also see little patches/inserts that are connected to each other by a black wire of some sort. What's perhaps the most notable part of this cosplay is the infamous Portal gun. I believe that Meagan used her replica prop she acquired while she was in the process of making this cosplay. Apologies if I'm mistaken though! The pictures do so much more in showing the cosplay. Some of the photographers utilized editing software to give off the Portal color as if Meagan just shot the gun.

Makeup was used for her legs, arms and face. Here it gives off that weary look that Chell must be having as she's overcoming the puzzles put in front of her. Scrapes, bruises, you name it, it's there in some form. Meagan's presence in the cosplay community and video game journalism has certainly made a name for herself. Currently back at her old job of Crystal Dynamics, Meagan is the Community and Communications Manager for the studios. Their next big release is Rise of the Tomb Raider which is the followup to 2013's Tomb Raider reboot! Really do hope I manage to meet her one day! :D Check out these badass pictures!
