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: MegaWatt Cosplay's Steampunk Jasmine!

While I was at NYCC last year, I recall seeing an absolutely beautiful Jasmine cosplayer when I was hanging around at Ireland Reid's booth and chatting with her. It wasn't until last month that I finally checked out her work and as expected, I was blown away. Guys, meet MegaWatt Cosplay and I thought for today, I'd take an even closer look at her Jasmine cosplay. This was actually done in the popular style of Steampunk! As far as designs go, I know that Megan worked with another cosplayer who lived close by in both coming up with the design and creating it. The cosplay has the standard/classic color scheme that Jasmine is known for. Blue with areas of gold on the bra and skirt. The steampunk elements come in the form of the top coming down from her neck and the corset. Speaking of which, the corset adds in a beautiful figure for Megan which is one of my favorite parts of the cosplay.

Much like Lisa's Jasmine which I featured late last year, the bra is also another favorite part. The style/frills on the golden trimming is absolutely beautiful. Going towards Megan's twaist is a dark brown belt with a spiral design for the belt buckle. The bottom area consist of blue shorts and a skirt that wraps around her sides This also travels down her back side. The corset and top section are of a lighter shade of brown and have buckles throughout to fasten it together. They're crafted extremely well! Megan also nailed Jasmine's iconic hair style with the wig selection. A small tiara is placed around her head with a blue gem in the dead center.

To really complete the cosplay, Megan is seen holding a small decorative tiger. This is a direct reference to Jasmine's loyal pet Tiger Ra'jah of course! The pictures I have for you guys really capture how beautiful Megan looks in the whole cosplay. I'm really glad I decided to follow her work, chatting with her is a blast and I know we'll meet sometime at a convention this year. Enjoy the pics guys!
