Pred Skin Help...

[vaiuli]

I was wondering, instead of a mr. incredible muscle costume or something similar, can i just use those long sleeve shirts and pants/tights that nike and under armor makes?

No reason why you shouldn't. Most use a super hero suit as the muscles are already there for you.
You can always add further muscles out of foam if needed.

Could possibly work very well, personally hate the muscle suit look, to me they just look too bulky.Then people always make it worse by painting around the muscles outlining them. LOL.

Good luck and post progress , it could help others in the future.

Alas, I have to do that because I am a scrawny little guy, and if I don't make the muscles look as bulky as I can, I look like an anorexic Pred who didn't eat his veggies as a kid.

I agree with Lee, even though I did the muscle suit for mine (you know what they say about hind sight).  I think the idea of a body suit with foam sculpted muscles is the way to go without actually getting or making latex skins.  The Predator in the movie is big, but not all "buff" with the bulging muscles.

Thank you very much for the reassurance. Especially from the great Usurper and Lflank. I was thinking of the mr. incredible costumes but since im a bulky guy, extra bulk from the costume and additional muscles will just make me look like a pregnant bodybuilder after lol. I will be posting my progress in wip section when i start so i can get some more help from critiques and help others in the future as Usurper said. Again, Thank You very much.

Good luck, I'm sure as you are making this for you, you can get a far better fit than a generic mr I thing anyway.
