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: ItsYoru's Cosvacado's Nyx!

At Katsucon this year and throughout the rest of 2017 I've managed to bond and form pretty solid friendships with my roomies. Each of them equally talented cosplayers as they are sweet human beings. One of them is my buddy Chris who goes by his recently created page name of ItsYoru's Cosvacado! Like me, he was also incredibly excited for FFXV's upcoming release. Besides the game's cast of characters, he fell in love with another protagonist from the spin off movie Kingsglaive. The main hero for that movie--Nyx--is a member of the Glaive which is tasked by King Regis as the most elite soldiers of Insomnia. What makes them special is that they're able to borrow the ridiculous power that the King has which is mainly used by Noctis in the main game. Ok we good on the backstory? Each member of the Kingsglaive dons a pretty extravagant suit with multiple lines traveling down the chest. The collar is also popped up for them.

The long coat has other additions like small shoulder patches with one of them having chains hanging down from it. Chris also has armguards directly seen after the black fingerless gloves. What's iconic about Nyx's design is his mohawk styled hair and the weapon of choice. Going into battle with a single dagger might not seem like a good choice but Nyx makes damn good usage thanks to the additional power of kings. Chris went as far as to have his hair styled/cut to match Nyx.

Chris didn't go about creating this cosplay alone. Helping him was his immensely talented lady Princess Gigglesnort (who's also just as sweet!) mostly in the sewing department. The photos make him look absolutely incredible. Such as the sunset on the photo to the left of here, to the one down below that might be seen as a spoiler to those who haven't seen the movie yet. In any case, Chris pulls off Nyx superbly well. Check out the other photos below!
