First step for my predator suit

[Fohammer]

I wanted to say thanks for keeping those tutorials up. I did some reading through them and i thought i would start with a Bio helm.

first i started with a rough doodle.

 

[Fohammer]

I divided my helm into 7 major pieces of cardboard which I assembled together using masking tape to get the basic shape.

I paper mache' the mask after the last picture.

i put a light base paint on so i could see where the shadows fell. I also drew some black lines on as a reference to where the shapes i wanted to make to add texture. i have applied a little bit on clay on the front so i could hopefully create a more define mask.

the mask is completely covered in clay now. i am currently waiting for it to dry.

Thank you I appreciate it.





I added more muscle to my suit and then completely latexed it. This is a picture of when I did the latex primer paint over the chest.

I had some issues with my bio helm. The clay cracked when it dried so I filled it in with glue and went over it with a compound mud. It is ready to be sanded down and then sealed.

I finished papermache the left shoulder armor and medkit.

The next picture is of my hands and the single gauntlet I made. I need to make one more gauntlet and insert the blades.

The picture of the toy is what I used to make the caster-gun from.

I'm having a little trouble with airbrushing the suit. I already decided the three colors primary colors I was going to use. Flesh tone, Red Earth and black. With these three I should be able to blend them to give me colors that range in between.

The problem is i kinda painted myself into a corner. Should I have gone less red around the definition of abs and chest?

 

[Fohammer]

added more texture and shading to the suit. A started with some normal spots on the chest, they blend down into just the darker area when it goes back the pecks. after it blends it goes into a more classic stripe towards the bottom. Here is what the upper torso is starting to look like.

[Fohammer]

these were my hands before completion. I added black to fingertips and knuckles. a little earth red and brown to tone it down a bit.

will still work on it before halloween and after that. I really liked him without the medpack. It just seemed like there was too much going on. here is a picture of the gauntlet.

did some changes to my suit and netting. I can now use the bathroom without taking it off. Changed the color of my loin cloth. And added some leg armor and the caster gun.
