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: SparkleStache's Shenron!

Some gijinka concepts are definitely out there and clever in both its design and execution. When I last featured Sparkle Stache, it was in her Nova cosplay from Heroes of the Storm. This time, she's taken a stab at the Dragon Ball franchise with an outfit around the omnipotent dragon god, Shenron. You can immediately see that this cosplay is all about the green and the tail is certainly the stand out part of the cosplay as a whole. Krissy has a one piece suit that's covered in green plus a scale like texture. The front part of this area is yellow with a red trim separating that from the green. The former color is patterned out to look like how Shenron's underside is. Green straps are seen over her shoulders as well.

For her legs, Krissy has long stockings/leggings with a red trim at the top. As you can probably expect, these are also green in color. A green wig makes up the head portion with some long bangs traveling in the front. She's also rocking two brown horns which look like parts of a tree, the texture is on point here, Definitely curious as to how they were made. As I mentioned at the start, the tail is certainly a key part to Shenron. Krissy looks to have it attached on her backside in several areas.

My guess would have to be at least two spots unless she fashioned the tail in a way so that it would never lose its shape. Much like the bodysuit, it's green and yellow in color being separated by a red trim. The tail itself looks like it's inflated or it could also be made from a more sturdier material. That would explain how its curved shape is held up with Krissy's poses. Some eye makeup can be seen in some of the shots which is rad as all hell! Check out the other shots I have of this :).
