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.
I hope you guys are in the mood for an Interview for today! Yesterday, I had the pleasure of chatting with the beautiful Courtney Michelle! She's relatively new to the scene but chatting with her here and there has led me to see that she has lots of potential with making some incredible outfits (some of which you'll learn in the video down below! Courtney has mainly been a gamer with playing whatever her older brother ended up having, including such hits like Goldeneye for the N64! It's not too much of a stretch to say that she currently has a love for Halo with looking forward to the game's 5th entry hitting stores soon, along with Fallout 4! Courtney's not much of a comic book reader but she sees anime as another outlet in which she cosplays from!
This is definitely apparent in that she's planning on several characters from Akame Ga Kill and Naruto! You'll be able to learn of how she came about discovering cosplay and seeing it done professionally. This ignited her love and drive for wanting to cosplay more even with the crazy schedule she has as a promoter for events. When not working on cosplay and her job, she's playing games, more so with Twitch and her newly acquired sponsor!

You can easily see in the interview the excitement that Courtney has for her upcoming lineup. With dreams of traveling to many conventions including SDCC, NYCC, and ones in Phoenix, I imagine she'll be able to achieve those as time passes on. I apologize if this write up portion seems short but the interview was so much fun!
Courtney talks about other loves such as Pokemon with her gijinkas and cosplaying characters from One Piece, another anime love of hers! Oh and spoilers for Akame Ga Kill so you've been warned!

I also apologize if the ending is awkward. Technical difficulties happen everyone! I want to thank Courtney so so much for taking the time to do this interview with me and I'm so glad she had fun with it! Really hope you all enjoyed learning more about Courtney! Please check out Courtney's work and her other social media sites which I've included links to down below!
