Neen The Kitchen Magician's Paintress!

The Paintress' overall design in Expedition 33 is both fascinating and yet haunting. As the sole force behind vanishing off people every year, she's become one of few antagonists in the game. Course, through the game's lifespan in cosplay, people mostly tackle the main members of the core Expedition. Whether it's in the traditional uniforms, other alternate costumes or the iconic Baguette outfits. So it's been a real treat to see Neen The Kitchen Magician do a phenomenal job in bringing The Paintress to life. The full outfit is black from head to toe. You have a gown like piece at the bottom with it flowing mostly in the back. It does look like both the bottom and top pieces are segmented into like a long sleeve shirt and long pants. But being full pitch black does give some shots a sense that it's all connected. That even includes the face area which one pic does show that yep, Neen is able to see out of it.

Cosplay Feature: Ivy Doomkitty's Victoria's Secret Angel Nick Fury!

Cosplayer Ivy Doomkitty certainly has incredible talent on top of a beyond gorgeous figure! I was pretty surprised to see that I had featured her only once before so I wanted to change that for you guys. At this year's San Diego Comic Con, Ivy teamed up with several other cosplayers for an Avengers themed shoot. What's interesting about this though is the concept behind it. If you didn't fully read the title, Ivy here is cosplaying as the classic Nick Fury as if he were a Victoria's Secret Angel! Hence the giant wings coming out of her backside. If I'm remembering correctly, Ivy and some of the other group members had assistance from Castle Corsetry in creating the base outfit which you see here. A blue tight corset with a blue bra placed over it. The bra is lined with an interesting pattern of black, blue and white dots!

Ivy's wig was beautifully done, long flowing brown hair with inserts of white extensions. These extensions call back to classic Fury's distinct hair style. Of course, it wouldn't be Nick Fury without the signature eye-patch! The white harness that Ivy made is especially interesting. Straps are seen coming down underneath the bra, but soon encase her entire bottom area, front and back. Ivy herself deemed it as the "@$$ cage". It looks like the harness also connects to her leggings as well as help supporting the wings.

Speaking of which, the wings look incredible. Made with a variety of wires and blue/white feathers, I believe Ivy stated that the back of it has a pattern which forms the SHIELD logo! How cool is that huh? :D. Wielding a small pistol, she looks both daring and seductive. Really capturing that Victoria's Secret look, Ivy nailed the poses and I'm impressed as always at the intricacy of the cosplay. You did an amazing job Ivy <3. Enjoy the other pictures I've got for you all!

If you haven't visited Ivy Doomkitty's page, you're missing out on so much! Not only has Ivy created a plethora of incredible cosplays, she's also a fantastic role model. Being a strong advocate for body positivity and cosplaying no matter what you look like. Her panels held at various conventions are definitely a treat from what I've heard. Wouldn't mind seeing it at least once! Miss you Ivy, hopefully I'll see you at NYCC! I promise you guys an interview with this beauty will happen this year!
