Latest Project. Prince Nuada, HellBoy II

[Darth Mule]

I was recently contacted by another member here to commission a costume and it was coming along so nicely that I thought I would share. I'll let that member remain nameless unless he wants to jump in and identify himself.

Also, I haven't posted anything in awhile other than my Ahsoka headpiece over in the junkyard so I thought it was high time I did. Especially since, now that I've cleared the hurdles of the mundane, such as searching for fabrics and building armor templates, I'm really excited about this project.

There are more pics to come, but here's the first teaser. Any guesses?

Prince Zuko from The Last Airbender

Prince Zuko would be the closer guess as it at least has the correct title.

Can I be more cryptic? Muahahahaha

I already guessed this in your other thread a while ago when you were trying to figure out that pleating thing. This is still probably a Prince Nuada costume. It looks like his black outfit. I want a prize this time dammit!!!! :lol

Ding ding ding! Though you did have an inside track.

I don't remember offering a prize, but ok.. Here's your prize. The first look at the 99% complete costume.

There should definately have been a prize...and that pic doesn't count as one. Oh well.

It does look really really good though.

Leather! Molded over a relief template, then draped to dry over an old Duct tape dummy I had laying around.

Here's the newer better pics. Should have brought my real camera to take these, but I forgot. Luckily my Droid has a pretty good 5mp camera. Taking different views this time.
