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: 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
