ok so I have pretty much got this down. standing in front of me I have a manakin torso with The bio on the head a fishnet top and some armour ideas. Hey wait a min what about from the legs down, I mean our friend here has a lot of their skin exposed. We are talking low budget again how do I make the exposed skin and whats best to put it on?

 

[leonardbullhock]

not sure how much you have to spend but how about buying one of these and either latexing it or if ur on a budget painting it with fabric paint then put the netting on that. Its the number one route for budgeteers. If you`ve considered this and its a no go then just ignore this.

I've created my suit on (mostly) budgeted circumstances. The best & cheapest way I would recommend for Pred skin is in total agreement w/ the above reply posted. Get the "Mr. Incredible" adult costume suit first. From there you can take it in a few different directions, you could just paint it with fabric paints, or, you could also latex coat it before painting it like the Predator's skin.

Depends a lot on the care & time your willing to put into it, but this is by far the best, cheapest way I know of.

wow that's a lot of help thanks B) All I need to do now is pay for it.

 

[predator paul]

Macguyver can you send me pics of your suit and anyone else for that matter who have used the mr incredible muscle suit. My girlfriend is doing an art course so latex shouldn't be a problem

Another option would be a tan spandex body suit. It could be easily painted with fabric paint and may even breathe better. I did that with my first Predator costume and it made moving around so much easier!! Of course, I had muscles back then, so it worked out well without extra padding.

I used a rambo muscle style upper torso and painted longjohns for ine, just used acrylic paints for the muscle recesses and added spots with a sharpie marker

the suit I used was from smiffys and it was called muscleman

Scott (TheMortalImmortal) paint this skin. Hard to believe it was was once a Mr. Incredible suit. Another sweet paintup by Scott.

 

[PredatrHuntr]

Scott could paint cardboard and make it look good!

 

[Mortal Immortal]

Actuality that is a DB paint up. It don't have my signature spot pattern.hehe

 

[BigGunns1]
