Hello fellow RPFers!
I am going to be working on my first large project. Goliath from the TV series Gargoyles! There will be multiple costume methods used in this build.
1. I will be making a full body muscle suit. Because of the large stature of Goliath (I am guessing at least 6'6) as well as the massive muscle proportions, a muscle suit is needed. I am planning on using urathane for the muscles, that will be glued onto a morph suit. I will follow the methods provided by Mikefu http://www.therpf.com/f78/carnage-costume-wip-muscle-suit-pics-vids-199293/(carnage costume) and M16 http://www.therpf.com/f78/giant-style-venom-speed-build-halloween-163222/ (Venom speed build). Thank you two for great inspiration!
2. To replicate the feet of Goliath I will be making digitigrade stilts. Actually I have already made them, I will just have to modify as they are simply prototypes. I will use the same foam to cover the stilts and make the feet and talons.
3. I plan to have articulating wings, at least in the vertical direction. I will be using a modified version of these wings Articulated Wings Explained - YouTube. Because of the muscle suit I should have no problem securing and hiding the harness.
4. Finally I will be making facial prosthetics to (hopefully) replicate Goliaths facials structure. Oh and not to mention fangs and contacts .
I realize this is QUITE the ambitious project and look forward to any comments and suggestions!
*edit*
I added these pictures of the stilts So far. The second one was me using some scrap clay from school to sculpt out some feet ideas, I think I decided on three toes instead of the 4. It's a pretty rough prototype... but it works as intended.
