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: Sami Bess' Katarina from LoL!


When looking for more cosplayers to share and broaden my variety of who I normally share, I came across Sami Bess. From her Android 18, to Female versions of Loki and Ganondorf, Sami seemed like the kind of badass girl who I'd not want to mess with in a fight! With her awesome armor builds, I knew there was a cosplay I wanted to show off! Enter classic Katarina from League of Legends which I felt fit the bill nicely! Katarina's look here consists of lots of armor and leather plus a wicked cool crop top! First off, Sami is wearing a gorgeous red wig and the scar makeup is pretty dang perfect. The top part starts with a propped up collar and includes sleeves that go to her elbow. The length of this top goes to just about her torso, the remaining area up to her pants being exposed. A rad tattoo design can be seen in this section!

Getting more specific about the top, you've got a maroon red strap that's seen right below her neck and goes from shoulder to shoulder. The breastplate has a silver colored trim that looks armor like with the rest of it being full on leather in its texture. Sami's shoulders and arm guards are done in the same fashion as the bra trim, color and armor alike. The designs are spot on and I absolutely love the weathering effect she used. Also who doesn't love spikes? Brown gloves act as a base for the armguards and are detailed up in a cel-shading like nature.

Sami's weaponry is beautifully constructed with the etching on the blades spot on! Getting to the pants, Sami has a red belt with small studs around the piece. Skin tight black pants plus a strap on both legs with MORE KNIVES! In terms of the leg armor from what I can see, it's similar to the arm pieces. More spikes in an interesting pattern! The footwear look to be heels with platforms in the front. Her belt buckle is circular with a neat clasp like part on one end. The forest scenery works really well color wise as the armor really stands out. Plus Sami is out here posing it LIKE A BOSS and I'm loving every minute of it <3. Check out these other photos!
