Deadpool WIP 90% Fin (with photoshoot... sort of)

[The Armorer]

Okay guys, I'm putting together a Deadpool costume for Gen Con. I'm not going the traditional zentai method, more army issue deadpool. I need some help finding these items:

cheap katana set with sheaths (black, doesn't have to be too fancy, just workable, can paint if not really black...)
Red and black BDU's (I have found a pair that might work, but I don't know the sizing :/ Amazon.com: Army B.D.U. Shirt (Digital Camo): Clothing
Red Compression Vest


Also, if anyone had any advice on sewing a deadpool hood (to make patterns for the seems that travel up and down the mask) I would appreciate it, I have the fabric for it, just need to get some time to sew it together

I will be posting pics as soon as I get more together. So far I have:

Gloves
Knee Pads
Compression long sleeve shirt (may get another one, a size bigger :rolleyes )
Material for the mask/hood


So that's where I'm at. Any help would be appreciated.

-Seth

p.s. (i'm trying to spend 20 for the pants, but no more than 30, same goes for the rest of the parts, thanks )

Re: Deadpool WIP

I'll look in my closet and check my uniform, it has the size in L, XL etc and in the inches it adjusts to. I don't know about finding a pattern for the mask but I'd try wrapping the material around your head and matching it up so the seam starts as high as possible on the top and travels down the back, then you can do the black around the eyes separately.

I love real world interpretations of characters, I'm looking into a Nolan-esque Red Hood if I can make the Con in Chicago this summer. Best of luck!

Re: Deadpool WIP

Thanks I'll be posting pics up later today on what I've got, and what I'm shooting for. I'm hoping to get all of this together for Gen Con in August.

Re: Deadpool WIP

I think if you try TrueSwords dot com they should have some pretty cheap swords. I think they have a dual set of swords for about 20 bucks. Not sure if they are katana's though.

Re: Deadpool WIP

I think I'm going to go with...

here for the pants: Ultra Force Red Camouflage BDU Pants -Low Prices.Click to shop.

here for the swords: Leonardo Dual Ninja Swords w/ Back Carrying Scabbard

And probably walmart for the boots...

and I'm thinking of making a red vest instead of buying a compression vest (mine with foam inserts for muscle definition.).

The biggest discouragement right now is I can't spend a dime more on this until after the 4th of July weekend (Car hunting, I really_REALLY need a car...) so as soon as I find a mode of tranzit I'll be ordering these asap.

Re: Deadpool WIP

O_O ahhh crap I have to get those Leonardo Dual Swords!

I'm interested in seeing the vest, A compression vest would look cool. I've over all wondering how the suit will look

Re: Deadpool WIP

Maybe I'll do a sketch of what I'm shooting for it later The mask will be very Todd Cook incarnate (other than I won't be sculpting the mask, but just using a craft store mask instead). I should get to sewing the mask (or at least the first mock up) within the next week (I'll try to take pics ) then I'll move on to the vest. The biggest fear I have is that it turns out looking like a life vest, instead of a faux muscle suit

Re: Deadpool WIP

Here's a concept pic of what I think this will end up as (pardon the low quality of the sketch, it was done quick without much effort )

Re: Deadpool WIP

When I first heard combat pants I was wondering, but this concept looks good

Yeah, sorry for the crappy pic... I had to think of anything but stretchy (near see through *GASP*) pants, since, I really don't want a 'morph suit' deadpool... Hopefully after I can find a vehicle I can pull together all of the items I need for this

Later today I'll have pics of what I'm doing with the mask

I am working on a non cartoonish deadpool belt. Check out my thread and tell me what you think.

I think it's the perfect match to the armor concept your working on

DUDE!!! That's A REALLY NICE buckle!!! I was thinking of making one out of craft foam that was going to look nearly exactly like that I just got to say, one of these days, I HAVE TO BUY A 3D PRINTER!!!!

Here's the pics of what I got so far, I WILL have pics of the mask, cut and painted later TODAY (sorry for being a slug with updates, life is... LIFE )

P.S. That deadpool is coming link is a download of a deadpool bust I sketched, which will be (in better accuracy) what I am attempting with the cowl, very Todd Cook-esque

Re: Deadpool WIP (Finally with Pics!)

Thanks man, I have a pic of the painted version, but still waiting for the double mag pouchs. I am starting a print of a grenade that I will attach to the belt. I think the grenade will sport deadpools colors as well, just for theatrics (i think he'd want it that way...lol).... here are a few pics

Looking great so far... keep us posted! I'm loving your take one it so far.

The belts are looking fantastic! It may be just me, but is the flash making the paint a bit shiny? There isn't anything wrong with it, I just like deadpool being a bit more flat colored with a little dirt thrown in for good measure

Thanks I've got more pics I have another set of cloth similar to the red that I will be using to create the white eyes for the mask, I've cut the mask to make it easier to breath, I hope to have something close to the patterns for the hood done today (hopefully ) if anyone has any advice for that part please, a link wouldn't hurt The shirt is the compression shirt that I think is a bit small for me

Thanks Armorer, Cant wait to see your build progress. I guess I think of deadpool a little different. I used a high gloss for the buckle because I think of deadpool as a little flashier or at least a narcissist, so I gave him some bling to bring on to the battle field. Cant wait to show you these grenades im making they really add to the belt.

Re: Deadpool WIP (Finally with Pics!)

Saw a picture of a guy who used Motorcross Bike pants in his deadpool, he could of rocked the spandex no problem but he actually turned out really awesome with the crotch rocket black and reds. They would also match your gloves well too.

Your belt came out sick looking forward to seeing how the shirt comes out.

Like I said, nothing wrong with it I guess I'm just trying to go as far away from the comic version as possible XD The belt still looks good, and by all means, I really want to see what you do with the grenade "Hope you like pineapples!" -Deadpool, "Batman vs. Deadpool" Bat in the Sun

I google searched motorcross pants, and they would look sweet with this, but I'm a bit worried about mobility. One of the big wants in this costume is the ability to run, sprint, roll, and well, just sit without worrying about anything ripping so that would be my only worry.

While I was searching, I found these gloves (which to my regret, I should have bought instead... )

(if I had 80 dollars...) Alien Ion ? Carbon Kevlar Motorcycle Gloves | Tek Moto ? Motorcycle Gloves, Jackets, Apparel and Accessories

(cheaper alternative) MOTORCYCLE BIKER GLOVES CARBON KEVLAR LEATHER RED XXL : Amazon.com : Automotive

So yeah, I haven't gotten any work done on the mask yet, still trying to find which of my old t shirts will be sacrificed for the mock up hood muwahahahahaha!!!! cough...

Then after that, the nerve racking cutting and sewing of the red lycra :O Not to mention trying to get it glued (in the right, symmetrical places ) to the mask.... sigh...

The rest has to wait until I get the money to order everything, and hope that it gets here in time
