Neen The Kitchen Magician's Paintress!

The Paintress' overall design in Expedition 33 is both fascinating and yet haunting. As the sole force behind vanishing off people every year, she's become one of few antagonists in the game. Course, through the game's lifespan in cosplay, people mostly tackle the main members of the core Expedition. Whether it's in the traditional uniforms, other alternate costumes or the iconic Baguette outfits. So it's been a real treat to see Neen The Kitchen Magician do a phenomenal job in bringing The Paintress to life. The full outfit is black from head to toe. You have a gown like piece at the bottom with it flowing mostly in the back. It does look like both the bottom and top pieces are segmented into like a long sleeve shirt and long pants. But being full pitch black does give some shots a sense that it's all connected. That even includes the face area which one pic does show that yep, Neen is able to see out of it.

Cosplay Feature: Rachel Nycole's BotW Zelda

The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild definitely gave longtime fans a refreshing take on the franchise and characters many have grown up with in a sense. Voice acting was added in as was a drastic change in the principal character. Course that just meant cosplayers would soon flock to these design changes and Rachel Nycole did an amazing job with Zelda. Her look in this game is much less royal and more practical as she journeyed with Link as seen in the Memories. For starters, a white base shirt is seen making up most of the cosplay. Up near the top is where a pattern can be seen. A closer inspection shows that same pattern echoed through the piece. Over the white shirt is a blue top with yellow accents for the trim. The design made in the middle is reminiscent of how the Hylian Shield looks in certain parts. Plus the Triforce logo is seen at the bottom as a button.

That same blue/yellow setup is shown again in the lower areas. Being placed just at the start of the pants. There's even a brown knapsack attached here at Rachel's hip. A large brown leather like belt is wrapped around her waist as well. Black leather gloves are seen too. The prop is very much the same Shiekah Slate you use in the game. It was expertly crafted to get the patterns and design just right overall! The wrist bands are also yellow and blue in nature bringing the cosplay together.

Rachel is sporting elf ears and has a spot on wig. Long flowing blonde hair with braids on the top. There's also small blue hair clips inserted too. The Shiekah Slate can also be attached to the brown belt! Rachel's makeup looks incredibly soft almost portraying a fragile/innocent nature. The photos are pretty fantastic, the outdoor background is BEYOND perfect. As if Rachel was in the actual game herself! <3
