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: HelloIAmKate's Kratos!

Today, I have the lovely HelloIAmKate in her fantastic genderbend of Kratos from his latest entry. Lots of leather pieces and fur was used in creating the father figure, not to mention the trusty Leviathan axe as well. I'll get to that later on though, why not start at the top? Kate has a beautiful brown wig that travels down to just about the start of her chest area. She also has Kratos' signature red markings along her arms and face. The top piece of the cosplay consists of a fur wrap with a belt strapped down the middle. Traveling up her shoulder, we get to see a beautifully made armor done in several layers. Kate has different things going on when it comes to her arms/hands. One has several pieces of cloth and straps wrapped around, whereas the other has a leather glove with plating attached.

For the pants area, Kate has a somewhat short skirt done in a light brown leather with an included belt around her waist. Hanging off of the belt are several pouches and what looks to be another weapon/prop of sorts. The belt has some super detailed engravings which absolutely fit the type of character that Kratos is at the point of the game. One side of the skirt has even smaller straps hanging off of it! Lots of the pics I have give a close up look which showcase the leather work and details just beautifully!

The Leviathan Axe is just an impressive prop to view here you guys. Plus, Kate created a way to hold the axe on her back! The wooden handle has some straps including some engraving as well. The latter part is really defined in the axe blade itself. The recreation of the axe is spot on and it doesn't look like it's heavy in weight at all. That's always a plus right? All of Kate's facial expressions are very stoic which again, is perfect for Kratos' personality. Seriously check them out :D
