Since I am a practioner of traditonal Japanese martial arts and a costumer, it seemed only proper that I do a project that embodied both aspects, in this case, Snake Eyes.
I stuck with the more classic, tactical version for mine for the past three years doing requests ranging from Joe gropus to visiting karate schools. Here is a detail of my version...
Here with Jason Sobol, comic artist and huge Snake Eyes fan. Check out the signed piece I got from him...
Here with a young fan this year as he got to meet his hero in "real" life...
With Ray Park, who plays Snake Eyes in the new G.I. Joe movies...
With the G.I. Joe group at Starfest Denver 2012...
Graphic art of my costume by Fantascenes...
And as a "Thank You" to anyone who actually looked at this thread, here is a sneak peek at my new version from GI Joe: Retaliation. Done in two weeks and for less than $150, this costume will be debuted this weekend at the Denver Comic Con...
Not quite 100%, but the best I could do in a short period. Watch for updates on how I built this one and for more photos in action from the convention.
Thanks for looking.
