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: Vanity Fox's Alt Morrigan!

To read my previous feature on Casey Anne's/Vanity Fox's original Morrigan cosplay, click here!

One Morrigan cosplay just wasn't enough for my friend Casey. For Dragon*Con this year, she went and did one of the succubus' alternate outfit. The outfit consists of an alternating pattern of sorts between the colors of black and purple. With regards to if anything was re-used from her classic Morrigan, my best guess would be her wig and the wings shown on her head along with sprouting from the back. However as I'm looking at it, the back wings are much smaller and include white studs on the black rim. This was done so that Casey could have easy maneuvering throughout the con. Leather was the main fabric type she used for the majority of the outfit. Starting from her neck is a choker like harness that travels down.

Her chest piece travels down and separates along the bottom with an opening in her stomach/torso area. Belts can be shown connecting the pieces and it looks like the lower area is connected as well which makes me wonder if this whole body piece is like a leotard/one-piece of sorts. Leather was also used for Casey's arm straps which include full hand coverage leaving room for her full fingers to poke through! For Casey's legs, she has black heel boots and alternating colors. One leg has a fancy black knee high sock and the other is fully covered in a purple stocking which happens to have the bat patterns that Morrigan is known to have.

Casey also has a leather eye patch which is another significant difference in comparing Morrigan's outfits. She also is a pro when it comes to posing and I just love the pictures I have to share with you all. Not only is the editing superb with the colors in some, but Casey pulls off the innocent and seductive stares the character is known for. I'd absolutely love to see this cosplay in person one day <3. Enjoy everyone!

Please go check out Casey's amazing work over on her page Vanity Fox. I can't express enough how much love and support she's shown me since I started cosplaying. She really does deserve more attention for her detailing and accuracy in her cosplays. IT'S SO AWESOME! <3
