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 Showcase: April Gloria's High Elf from ESO!



If there's one thing I know about April Gloria, it's that she absolutely adores the Elder Scrolls franchise. Having done several characters from Skyrim, it was only a matter of time before she dipped into the Online game. For today, April beautifully recreated a High Elf from ESO! What you'll find at the end of this writeup is a link to a full FB album and WIP pics! The album states that April started this cosplay in June of last year, with completion in February of this year plus its debut and proper shoot later on! I'm at first blown away by the fabric used in majority of this cosplay, the dark forest green is such a perfect fit. It really looks as if April went and looked for accurate fabric types for this! Said fabric is used for a neck cover, long arm sleeves and leg sleeves leading into BOOTS FOR DAYS <3.

You'll also find some brown in the way of straps for a variety of tools the High Elf is wielding. All the armor is done in a shiny shade of silver/grey. Speaking of which, mainly the armor is done on the sleeves and shoulders. The line cuts give off a winged look to them! There's also some small breastplate piece of sorts on top of the green fabric base. On the waist belt is a large buckle that extends downwards in almost a tabard like fashion. Etching is in place in what's probably an insignia for the high elves.

The straps have engraving in what's probably elven language and I love it a whole lot! On one side of April's waist you can also see brown pouches which look to be stuffed/inflated with something to make them look full. Weapon wise, you can see in some shots a long dagger of sorts sheathed and hanging loosely behind her. Oh and did I mention that April has a back cape flowing off like a badass? All of the photos were shot at a National Park so the scenery is really fitting for the character. I also love the elf ears and how the brown wig was styled!


As I've come to expect, April produced a truly high quality cosplay and you can really see the love and effort that went into this. Check out all the other shots she sent me to share with you guys!
