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: Blood Empress' Tifa Lockhart!

Duhhh of course I'd be talking about Blood Empress' gorgeous Tifa Lockhart cosplay when she started posting pictures in it. Tifa being my all time favorite game girl crush, I'm a sucker for anyone who cosplays her. Also pretty sure I've stated this reasoning time and time again as I featured Tifa cosplayers in the past. Here, Christy chose to go with the character's default outfit, the black skirt along with the white top and suspenders. Some of the shots give a really solid vide of the Docker boots she's wearing. The black belt is loosely wrapped around the skirt up near her waist and suspenders travel down to be attached to it. Christy opted in going with a full covered white shirt instead of the traditional white tank that Tifa is known for wearing.

Oddly enough, the most detailing/parts go to her arms. Christy has long black sleeves covering just about up to her forearm. The red gloves are more so done with fabric instead of actual gloves that I've seen with past cosplays of Tifa. One arm is shown with the gray armor piece attached to some red fabric and the other has a white band wrapped near the end. I find this route makes her Tifa more than ready to get down and dirty in terms of fighting, much more movement when the hands aren't held back/covered up heavily.

The close up shot on the left gives a great view of the wig Christy has for this cosplay. Gray dots decorate the gloves up near her knuckles. Overall she nails the posing of warm up shots as she's getting ready to beat down Shinra soldiers. Her figure fits the character well also and this just gives me another reason as to why I want to meet her so bad <3. Enjoy the shots guys!
