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: Ireland Reid's Link!


Cosplayer Ireland Reid has been creating outfits for conventions like crazy. For today, I had to share her Rule 63 Link cosplay from the Legend of Zelda. Not only does Ireland look killer in the outfit as a whole, but the photos are pretty freaking amazing. For the iconic Hylian, Ireland has the traditional green tunic over a white suit. Leather boots and gloves also are a part of the cosplay, these in particular look beautifully crafted! Some of the main things that stick out are of course the Master Sword and Hyrulian Shield. Both of which were made by Ireland herself. I have to say, they're pretty dang spot on. For posing sake and whatnot, I imagine both were done with foam and carved out. Possibly Worbla was involved, though I'm unclear on that element.  The top piece has a small insert with exposure to the chest for a slight sex appeal for this genderbend.


The blonde wig Ireland has is a very light shade and looks absolutely beautiful on her. With the added Ocarina in her hand, all signs point to the Ocarina of Time version of Link being cosplayed here. The green hat is also hard to miss since well, that's another iconic part about the character. As I mentioned above, the photos shot by ModelMosa look downright beautiful. The sunshine is really present here and gives off a pretty glare effect. Hell, most of these photos would make for an awesome wallpaper!

I have to wonder how fast Ireland cranks out her cosplays since I know she's a very busy lady. She pulls off Link very well and the cosplay is just gorgeous to look at. Would love to see this in person (along with her Yoko from Gurren Lagan because OMG) one day! I really hope you guys enjoy the pictures I picked out for you!

I can't recommend Ireland Reid's work enough for you guys. Meeting her last night was a treat and I miss her constantly. She's so sweet and down to earth, not to mention inspiring on many levels for me personally. I look forward to most likely seeing her at NYCC this year! <3
