My shocker costume Build for Wizard Word Chicago(pics inside)!!

(still a WIP)

Hey Guys! long time member, first time posting! this past summer I made a Shocker costume with my own take on his character design. here are a few pics of my costume. i meant to take some build process photos, but it took me so much time and effort to get this done in time for the con, i forgot. I will post up some more as i've gotten pretty decent at some builds, and would like to do more. I hope you guys enjoy, and I appreciate the feedback so that i can get better!

I had to adjust the lenses on the mask when i actually started wearing it by unfortunately putting them outside because I LITERALLY couldn't see where i was going, i'll redo them to inside to make it look a little smoother. the quilted padding is worn UNDER the brown base layer, and slits are cut down the sides to expose it. i'll open it up more, as I continue to work on it


The Gauntlets house a large bicycle LED that runs on 3 AA batteries. rewired them to a pressure trigger located near my thumbs. hold button down, light on/release, light off


ACTION! LOL i fought every spiderman cosplayer i could find! i will update this costume as i go, because it is a WIP

Excited to finally see another Shocker build.The mask and the gauntlets look great,but to be honest I think you used too much brown and not enough quilted yellow.
Also,I would leave out the lenses.Just my 2 cents

yeah, i want to open up the brown a bit more as well, i was running out of time, so i ended there with the slits on the side, and the v on the chest. i want to make it a deeper V, and maybe put a panel of some sort on the back. what do you think? And i think i wanted the lenses so it looked more like it was made from a welding mask, and made it look more sinister.

As i'm sure you know, the shocker built all of this in a prison workshop, so i was trying to make it look as "workshop-y" as possible.

You should do whatever you want though.A deeper V-shape would make the suit more versatile,as the accent lies on the brown part too much when looking at the original design.
My personal preference goes out to the comic book appearance:

All gadgets are either in the belt or gauntlets,so I'm not sure about a panel on his back.
