Neen The Kitchen Magician's Paintress!

The Paintress' overall design in Expedition 33 is both fascinating and yet haunting. As the sole force behind vanishing off people every year, she's become one of few antagonists in the game. Course, through the game's lifespan in cosplay, people mostly tackle the main members of the core Expedition. Whether it's in the traditional uniforms, other alternate costumes or the iconic Baguette outfits. So it's been a real treat to see Neen The Kitchen Magician do a phenomenal job in bringing The Paintress to life. The full outfit is black from head to toe. You have a gown like piece at the bottom with it flowing mostly in the back. It does look like both the bottom and top pieces are segmented into like a long sleeve shirt and long pants. But being full pitch black does give some shots a sense that it's all connected. That even includes the face area which one pic does show that yep, Neen is able to see out of it.

Cosplay Feature: Pretty LittleMJ's Loki!


I'm keeping up with the Marvel theme with a look at Pretty LittleMJ's STUNNING Lady Loki that I saw a few weeks back while scrolling through my Instagram. What got me at first were the stellar photo edits added in to the initial shots. Once I got to seeing even more, I loved how elegant she looks and the green really stood out in the overall look of the cosplay. Flow would have to be the best word to describe all of it so let's start. First off, this looks to be based off the MCU look from the addition of Loki's staff being imbued with the Mind stone. MJ has Loki's traditional golden horns attached at the top via a face plate. I like how for this version they aren't comically large in length as it's depicted in other media. After that, it's pretty much the main portion of the whole outfit. Here, MJ has a deep forest green robe of sorts that has a black corset wrapped around her waist.

Her shoulders start off by having these small golden pieces which have a checkerboard like pattern them. Various shapes are decorated on them. They're connected together by a thin gold chain in addition to having some gold trim flow down from them onto MJ's body as well. The green robe has the trim lines also covered in gold. In matching with the black corset, she's also rocking black bracers on her arms reaching up to her hands. The corset has some gold added in to its sides. Small glimpses of gold shorts can be seen and both of MJ's legs have something different equipped. One has a small band wrapped around with a sai hanging off whereas the other has a leg armor bracers.

MJ's hair definitely has a lot of volume to it with its dark shade of black. Some shots which you'll see later on in this post give off a great look at the clear green cape that's flowing off her. Mostly in the fact that various patterns and items were added on to them. I can't make out what's exactly being present but nevertheless I LOVE its inclusion.  Footwear consists of golden heels.


Lastly, the spear/staff towers over MJ in some of the shots. The bulk of it consists of gold coloring before you get to the actual spear points which are done up in silver. Suspended in the air act the top is the blue crystal housing one of the Infinity Stones like I mentioned at the start of this post. The etchings alongside the handle is a really great touch. The photos also have multiple edits added into each one. Whether it's lightning bolts emitting from the staff or the chaos flames coming from MJ's hands, they're just all absolutely stunning.
