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: Kristen Hughey's Janna! BEHOLD THE BEAUTY!

You can probably tell that I both have the biggest cosplay crush on Kristen Hughey along with feeling incredibly lucky that she's such a sweet friend to have. When I saw that Kristen was planning to do Janna from League of Legends, my excitement shot up :D. Janna is one of those characters that I just infinitely love from her gorgeous design. I featured Jessica Nigri's Janna a while back last year I think so this was a no brainer. With the cosplay being the default outfit, you got the white and gold color scheme. Alongside her signature staff, the gold inserts definitely shine in the pictures. Kristen here has the breastplate placed around her chest. The lower parts of the cosplay consist of the center piece and her hip armors. They all look to be done with the same materials of foam and or Worbla.

I really admire Kristen's figure in this cosplay. Everything just falls into place so perfectly! The golden designs on the armor stand out with the gem stones taking center place. Her hands are covered with white gloves of sorts and gold trimmings on the edge. The crown looks to be done the same way as the top section of Kristen's staff. Upon taking a closer look, I saw that the staff itself was done with PVC pipe being my best guess! Elf ears can be seen here which match up to Janna's design.

The hip armor have an interesting shape with a round part curving upwards on a point. White drapes are seen in the bottom section. Pose wise, Kristen looks incredibly elegant and this is definitely one cosplay I would love to see in person. Her face looks so radiant too! Already see myself making one of the pictures my background soon :D. Take a look at the other pictures and see for yourself! I may be getting my hopes up but it would be amazing if I got to match with her at RICC this year <3.

If you haven't checked out Kristen Hughey on FB, you must fix that ASAP! She's been so amazing to me and I'm lucky I have her support in the many things I do cosplay wise! I promise the 2nd part of our interview will happen, either at RI Comic Con or afterwards. Some questions I definitely want to ask her that should go into more specific details about Kristen! Love ya lots :)
