Hi, long time CG artist but new to making actual stuff so looking to learn what I can from the pros.
In the interests of time (MUST have this for Halloween or ack, my poor kid!) I'm using a combo of using stuff that already exists, EVA foam and 3D printing the smaller, repeating parts. I have a WIP of the costume that I started months ago after the first trailer was released so I have the model for the printed parts and they're on their way. Some shots:
I'm definitely NOT making the helm to be clear. Even if I were capable I just don't have the time before Halloween. I bought one that is somewhat meh (can't recall the brand but will dig it out later, Rubies possibly) but the shape isn't too bad and I think with paint and finish it could look good. It is large for an 8 yr old though, which is one of my fears with the costume. Maybe its oversizedness will contribute to the cute factor in scaling down an adult costume? (fingers crossed).
Duct tape dummy and also drew around him and roughed in some stuff:
I started out using an old bin for the abdomen, but soon ditched that approach for a bunch of reasons:
So then got busy with pattern work, which took way longer than I thought it would. This is most of them:
Have made a start with the EVA. Have quite a bit more progress than this so will post more pics later but yeah, time is tight to say the least:
