Gorilla costume build

[Dougie Fett]

I'm putting together a realistic gorilla costume (quadruped) based on the ones used in Instinct, it will be a darker black mountain gorilla.

Progress so far, the head is complete, visibility is through the nose and mouth

[joberg]

Great stuff already

 

[udog]

Great work, beautiful. What material is it?. Love the hair work too.

Platsil 0030 silicone

WOW, looks so lifelike.

 

[Betamin]

Damn, that is amazing!

 

[Apollo]

Ready for your close-up Sir!

This may take a while, I made an armature to build the foam muscles on, its important to get the anatomy and proportions right.

 

[Too Much Garlic]

Cool progress. I assume it will be really hot when you are done. How do you plan to cool yourself when in the suit?

 

[Tony Hardy]

Stunning work!!!!

 

[Dougie Fett]

Muscle suit complete

Awesome so far, but be mindful of the dimensions though.

 

[Too Much Garlic]

Looks awesome. You should probably give it a bigger butt.

Nope...silver backs don't have "butt"...on the contrary, it's pretty flat.

Oh WOW, I was completely off. I just thought adding something there at the back and slightly down the thigh, could make the torso look longer in the quadroped position, but that would likely look weird when standing upright.

They do have powerful glutes that are prominent when standing on all fours

The fur for a mountain gorilla will add a lot more bulk

 

[George]

Great and original build though. I don’t think I have seen any of this kind thusfar
