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

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

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