Hey all, it's me again this time with a different hero, originally I had no idea who I was going to be for Halloween as it switched from a cheap version of Michelangelo from TMNT or Leonardo, then it came to Ben Affleck Batman, after it was the Spider-Man build I was doing (still am), but I realized all these heroes started to become overly expensive so I decided to opt out on a budget.
One night as I was searching through YouTube, I found this fantastic cosplay from a user identified as 217rambo, I thought let's go for it and check through all his videos. There I found this wickedly awesome Nightwing build he had done and I thought to myself, it doesn't look too expensive. The next day I decided to do some research on Nightwing himself, learning where the name came from, why Dick decided to abandon his role as Robin and overall study his habits and methods. Scrimmaging through the pile of useless things in my room I found what was once a walking pole for hikers, I did my thing and took it apart and I got the overall basis of what I wanted Nightwing's escrima sticks to look like. After some tinkering and patience, I got the overall basis of what I wanted for the sticks themselves, but I didn't know what the heck to do for the rest of the costume. I figured for this build I was going to stay traditional with the Nightwing look but make it into my own style in the process.
Basically, what the costume is going to look like is a mix of Arkham City Nightwing as well as several other designs I found from Google, now what I need help with is the base of the suit. I found this cheap suit online that's offering a Nightwing zentai for 35$CA, but the problem is I don't know if I should trust this site or not: http://www.lightinthebox.com/black-and-blue-spandex-lycra-zentai-costume_p491685.html
If anyone can help me and send me a PM or comment on this thread indicating if it's a resourceful site to go to that would be greatly appreciated.
