Black Cat progress

[decaturvader]

After years trying to get my wife interested in costuming; it has finally happened.
With the help of a lady-friend of Zendragon, and an eBay wig-stylist..she is on her way.
We have her body suit in the works...but here are some starter pics:

Wow....I man that is a great start.

If she looked much more like blackcat in the face it would be disturbing (90's blackcat not the new one that they make look like a 17 year old anime character)

A very classic sultry look. So far so good.

 

[Planettera]

Her resemblance of the character makes her the perfect candidate for Black Cat. Looking forward to seeing final results. Looking great so far.

that is a beautiful wig it has a very natural texture , everytime i see someone in a black cat suit they do not take the time to find a white wig that does not look like shiney plastic .. its awful !!!!

 

[decaturvader]

Thanks much!
I bought her a bunch of comics the other day for character research
The body suit is in the works - going with a wet-look lycra/spandex for this one.
The jury is still out whether or not she'll do gloves and hightop boots; the suit has hands and feet built in, so she can go either way.
She also threw out that she'd prolly like a black corset to go with it perhaps.
The lady I got the wig from was super awesome to work with, performed the custom sytling, it's great quality and only pushed me back $100.

As mentioned, your wife definitely has the right look to pull this costume off. Great job thus far and kudos to your wife for deciding to try costuming.

The wig does look very real and natural. Is it a custom?

Not sure if I am allowed to post eBay links, but the seller I used goes by the username: queenswigmaster_andmore

She takes a wig and re-styles it.

Not knowing jack about wigs myself, it is a very quality item. There is a skull cap built in that has adjustable straps to custom fit it to your head.
It fits really well on her.

I was going to ask about the maker, but I found her and have emailed her...cheers

Spectacular!! I have a friend who was looking into doing black cat, I'll forward her the link. Plus, well done having a wife who looks so good like that! Looking forward to progress shots.

I'm currently trying to track down the cat suit. I'm planning on making both a Black Cat AND Ms. Marvel as my girlfriend can pull off both costumes. The Ms. marvel one is a lot easier. I've found a wet look Lycra cat suit but can't find one with gloves. I've seen some pictures of Black cat with White gloves, can you PM me with where you were getting the wet look costume (that has the gloves built in from ?

They did a wonderful job on the wig, it looks very natural. I'm going to have to make a note of that seller somewhere!

Yup. Randy was awesome to work with. Can't wait to start her second outfit ad buy another wig.

The place I was pointed to is;
Welcome to Spandexwear.com!

I have been talking to a Loreen so far. Emails are a little slow; but I 'm not in a huge hurry right now. Prices seem very affordable and her/their work looks pretty good.

Looks great, how was the mask accomplished?

 

[Wicked]

Very cool, that mask is really dead on. Not just the design, but the scale of it on her face as well.

 

[Laamberry]

Great find on the wig! A heat-resistant, custom styled one for that sort of price is pretty much unheard of :] Thanks for the tip!

The mask was a custom sculpt by a private artist and is cast in latex. For these pics, I just used some double-sided tape to hold it on her :angel
