Ghoul Hunter Body Armor: Design-N-Build

[antcarb]

Nice design is it one piece or two?

 

[xdmray]

so now im confused a little. is there any skin showing at all? or is it thought of as a whole boot thing?

Its a 2 Piece. The boots is the lower flexible piece and the upper is the resin gauntlet that cover the calf

The Latex boots is optional. If you have one of those AVP leg/feet thing it will work as well. The Calf gauntlet is designed for that option.

The first time I saw your sculpt on the boots, I thought you are going for a SAURON-look or somekind of WARCRAFT thing,
so I had my doubts on this. But seeing them in a finished way ... HOLY MOLY, WELL DONE!

Full Predator Suit Mounted

Yeah he looks naked. But this is a milestone. Took me a year to finally getting around painting him, getting all the plumbing pipes and stuff.
Mounted on a duct tape dummy and stuffed with cotton wool and newspaper. More to come.

Your dream is very fastly becoming a reality bro

I'm loving it can't wait to see you where it to Cons if you plan too do so?

 

[xdmray]

ahh so they are boots. my question was if there was any pred skin showing through as in armour and sandals or if they were full on boots.

but i see now.

I'm planning to go to China Joy in end of July. I'll be the only Predator there.

Ghoul Thigh armor

I pretty much sculpted this from my memory of all the armor designs for Ghoul Hunter. I got a habit of doing millions of drawings only not to stick to them while sculpting.
This morning I just slap the clay on and do it completely by feeling and it still resembled some old armor designs I did.

I like the raw sculpted textures, used most of my fingers and 2 more tools - Loop and wooden flat tool.
I'm gonna keep the rawness as part of the surface textures and get it in the mold.
Hope ya likez

The design is heavily influenced by the video game Darksiders/ Joe Madureira's art style.

looks awesome. but it seems a bit too rounded like it will really wrap around your legs. could just be the angles though. most thigh armour around has only a slight curve to em.'

my 2 cents

Yeah this one will be snug. It will actually "hug" the thigh like a P1 thigh armor.

They look great mike, keep it up. Its good to see that you will finally be able to fully suit up!

Yeah I gotta sculpt more. I get distracted too easily.

Ghoul Thigh Armor Sculpt Final + Ab plate

Done Sculpting Molding and Casting! The sculpt is not very symmetrical and I want to keep it that way to mess you up
The Ab plate will mount to the belt and strap down to the thigh armor. Then the Thigh armor will have 2 side strap to go around the thigh.
I've designed the most complicated belt system ever- you'll see

First Castings of the Ghoul Thigh Armor + Ab Plate

Resin Fiberglass about 440grams. I've cast a pair already and will paint them tomorrow. Tab opening for straps are reinforced with Epoxy for strength. Hope it holds up.
I will still use big patches of velcro to hold it in place from the inside.

The piece looks great from start to finish. The molds look very well done. Nice work.
