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.

STRUCK FIRST: Byndo Gehk as a Vault Dweller!


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.

 I can always count on Byndo Gehk to no doubt put a smile on my face. She just has this demeanor/aura that oozes happiness constantly. Even if some photos show her in ferocious poses, along with pretty much looking gorgeous in any cosplay she creates. Enter the Dogmeat/Vault Dweller uniform from Fallout 4 and you've got a solid match. This cosplay upon first glance I noticed the cel-shading details that cover the suit in its entirety. The blue and gold color scheme work INCREDIBLY well with Byndo's natural look. Yep that's her real hair in all its glory <3. Truthfully there's not much else going on with the cosplay. The gold is seen traveling up her center area up to her collarbone at the top. The bottom part goes to her waist mimicking a belt buckle of sorts.

Some photos make the belt area look as if it's popping out of the suit in a neat 3D effect. It's all blue with the rest of the cosplay. Prop wise, Byndo is armed with a simple pistol that was done by her marvelous friend Bindi Smalls! None of the shots give a good close up shot of the gun but it appears to have a black color with either gold or wood like brown in certain spots. On her other arm is the giant Pip-Boy which houses all the information a Vault Dweller needs when traversing the post-apocalyptic country.

The pip boy is either the one found in the Fallout 4 Collector's Edition or purchased elsewhere. It works superbly well in the shots you'll see in the rest of the writeup. Besides being totally in love with Byndo's hair in this cosplay that's the Vault Dweller in a nutshell! I do hope you guys enjoyed this writeup, check out the other pictures!
