Hellboy ( comic book version ) costume. WIP.

I took a break from the Hand to focus on making a couple modifications on the eyes and finishing gluing the hair. I also had a little extra time so I gave a shot at one of the hoofs. I'll just cover the calves part with sewn faux leather.

Last night I finally manage to glue the remainder of the hair. I cut a hi density styrofoam decorative ball - about 1/5. Just enough to have a flat surface to screw it to the back of the head - sprayed it black. Let it dry and sprayed it with 3M Super 77 glue. I then applied the cut out hair from a cheap bald cap bought on line. I wanted to make sure I didn't have a super clean edge of receding hair. Never liked the sumo pampered look in the Del Toro movies ( aside from that and the cat fetish, those are great!!! )
Then I glued it to the back of the hair with contact cement AND screzed it to the foam for good measure. It's not going anywhere!
Tonight I finished the Right Hand Of Doom! and I managed to put together a quick check list of what's left. I'll add a chest piece after all these are done, as I can always use a black tee shirt in the meantime...

Some progress made this week end. Mostly on the hoof and tail. I wanted to add an extra head shot.

It's been a while since I posted anything here. I was able to do some work on the belt. haven't made any progress on the second hoof or legs. But I will try to make time to show more next time. the U.S cavalry buckle comes from a belt. Pretty cheap online but I actually put it there just to check. It's from an actual belt I use. I might just make a quick mold of it and recast one in plastic for the purpose of this costume.

The buttons from the pouches come from stuff I always save from appliances or their packing boxes, just in case. I had two of those so it works just fine for now. If I was to make another pouch - which will probably be the case down the line - I'd be screwed as I don't have a third one to spare.

the one holding the lid down on the holster is just a cap from a cosmetic jar and two magnets.

I got to finish the tail too. Now I need to cut and sew the duster correctly for it to poke thru. I also need to add the B.P.R.D patch, and modify the lapel a bit. and of course, the legs...

Just found this thread and it's AMAZING! The textures and color treatment on the head is brilliant. This is going to be a work of art. Well done you!
