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: SunsetDragon's Bard Sylveon!

Pretty sure the Eeveelution cosplay train won't stop until everyone collectively loses their creative mojo. So until that day comes (please never come) ALL ABOARD! For today, I have the super adorable SunsetDragon cosplaying as Sylveon with main inspiration from Dungeons and Dragons. This was part of an entire Eeveelution group of several ladies portraying each Pokemon as a specific class from the long lived table top RPG. In SunsetDragon's case, she views Sylveon as more of a bard (not the spoony kind though) complete with a small instrument to go along as her prop! The cosplay has a very medieval flair to it along with it being skimpy and no doubt comfortable to wear. The cape coming off of her waist/belt is extremely beautiful and has the light pink shade to match with Sylveon's design. Continuing on the belt, there's a single piece of clothing covering her lower areas, and the belt is colored blue in shade.

The coloring of the belt to me probably references the color that the shiny version of the fairy type is. Or Sunset could have chosen it simply cause it compliments the cosplay well. Either way it works! Her arms are covered in somewhat poofy sleeves with golden pieces of fabric lining the trim and dangling down. Together it forms a cute little jacket. The chest piece is most likely an altered pink bra with added elements. These elements include golden pieces and a cute bow in the dead center. The bow's end pieces extend down and back up in a loop which is another key part in Sylveon's look.

The wig is incredibly cute as are the ears which are most likely attached via a headband. Fleece fabric look to have been used in the ears construction, plus a small blue insert is seen here as well. Pink bands come off one ear as well. Sunset's neck piece/choker has white frills along the edge with the middle area being completely blue. Various bead necklaces come off it and the center is a combination of a variety of fabrics. Coming down from the bra is a necklace with a gemstone attached. The belt was most likely constructed with some of the armor making materials that I've referenced time and time again on this blog. Oh and lastly, the instrument of choice here is the tamborine, pink in color with gold bells as inserts.

The posing and pics are absolutely spot on and I can't get over how cute SunsetDragon looks. Hopefully you guys can agree with me on that!
