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: Kohalu's Dark Pit!

If you wanna talk about incredible looking wings on a cosplay, then look no further cause Kohalu is your guy for that area! You may have seen his work before such as his super awesome Charizard gijinka or his gender-bend Morgana from League of Legends! Some cosplays like the latter and one I have for you today throw in ridiculous wings and I believe some actually work in terms of Kohalu retracting and expanding them! Kohalu's Dark Pit caught my eye since it's a character I wasn't expecting to be cosplayed even with his inclusion in the latest Super Smash Bros. To be perfectly honest, I felt that his character as a whole was a waste since he's just a clone to regular Pit. You get a sense of both regal and menacing from this cosplay. The main portion consists of a tunic like piece with a top and a bottom.


The waist and alongside the bottom area can be seen wrapped in sashes detailed in purple/gold. Arm-guards can be seen close to his wrist as well as wrappings alongside his sandals. The sandals also have a white fur lace near the top. Getting to the wings themselves, I'm not entirely sure on how it was done but there was definitely a lot of feather covering. I'm also unsure if this is one of his wingspans that can retract/expand as well.

Nevertheless, the wings look super impressive and the whole "evil angel" vibe comes to me the more I look at them. Kohalu's wig is a short style in black with a golden circlet wrapped around his head. His iconic weapon (more so iconic on Pit) is in the bow form and looks to have been done with foam or maybe even wood? The detailing on it is incredible as is the coloring. Again matching the purple and gold seen in other areas of the cosplay. His posing shows off the strength of the character and I especially love the close up shots as well.
