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.

STRUCK FIRST: Byndo Gehk as Oshawott!

Struck First gives you a first look at a cosplay just as it's been debuted/had its first photoshoot. Cosplayers have been kind enough to let me have a first crack at analyzing the cosplay by providing me with brand new pictures.

ColossalCon has become a tradition for Byndo Gehk in making bikini cosplays based around the Water starters from Pokemon. With Oshawott, she's slowly creeping up on Sun/Moon which currently are the latest iterations of the long running franchise. Here's hoping new entries stop coming out like clockwork for her to catch up XD. For the otter Pokemon, Byndo has a two piece bikini with a material that's very similar to what she created for the others in the past. What's different however is that Byndo is in a sense, more covered with the additions of the long white sleeves and gown starting from her waist. The bikini itself is covered with several seashells along the bottom of the top. Draped alongside the white gown are even more seashells at the top.

Both of the ends on the sleeves are adorned with puffy frills which matches up with Oshawott's particular designs. The seashells are also a huge deal as the Pokemon has a signature move utilizing them. Other parts of the cosplay include a bigger seashell used as a prop and a crown comprised of them as well.  These seashells look to have been done with some kind of foam or light material. Byndo has an incredibly cute white wig on with 2 blue balls acting like ears next to the crown.

She also has makeup in the form of freckles and HOLY CUTE <3. If you haven't realized through my past features, ColossalCon has a fantastic setting/background so of course the photos are absolutely stellar. Both having the waterpark and the wide green areas do nothing but enhance how dang cute Byndo looks in this cosplay. Seriously this girl gives me so much life and happiness with every cosplay she creates. This being created thanks to help from Patreon, I can only see Byndo increase her skills even more for some incredible builds. Hopefully you all enjoy the photos that follow!
