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.

Cosplayer Interview: Leah Stevo!

Photo by Golden Hour.net

I was absolutely blown away by Leah Stevo's kindness after she left some lovely comments on my post sharing her work (I wrote about her Star Guardian Urgot here!). So much so that she happily agreed to do an Interview with me last week. I instantly fell in love with her upbeat personality and she's definitely someone super fun to be around with. During my time, Leah referenced her time in high school where she didn't have that many friends given her nerdy interests. Citing her Dad as a big influence, the Intellivision was one gaming system she grew up with. Some of her earliest memories also include playing board games with friends in her garage. Eventually she discovered cosplay and fell in love with it in 2014 with her first cosplay created.

This ended up being an outfit derived from her Skyrim created character. We also went in to talking about her Star Guardian Urgot and how floored she was with the reception from it. For Leah, seeing her cosplay senpais comment on how wonderful her cosplays were made her feel so star-struck. Not only that, but she entered in several costume contests and masquerades. These also proved to be superb in standing next to other senpais like Oshley Cosplay and Hoku Props. Her DiabloXOverwatch mashup with Reaper earned her an invite to BlizzCon. A common theme I noticed with this interview is that Leah is somewhat in disbelief of all the recognition she's got, when I kept urging that she's incredible and super deserving of all of this.

As you'll see in the Interview, Leah is a wonderful human being that I've instantly fallen for hard <3. She mentions how Urgot is her boy what with being the least playable League champion according to Riot. Despite this though, Leah concedes that she's not that fantastic at the game, or MOBA's in general. I say this with every interview, but Leah was an absolute delight and she's definitely someone to watch out for as she's just getting started with intense cosplay builds. I really hope you guys enjoy this :D
