Project Overkill costume construction.

[poopymcbutthole]

This is a project I want to try out and get done before comic con , i keep getting frequently questions on why i have not constructed a predator suit , well i am five seven lol and kinda shrimpy for a predator ....my big predator head would probably knock me over and i would look kinda dumb next to a bunch of 6 foot built guys in suits so i found a way i can fit in ...WITCHBLADE PREDATOR CROSSOVER ! yep ....

now at first i was thinking of shooting for an entire bio suit ...and an entire bio suit means ... bio bikini ... i plan on wearing this to comic con and i think i would be more then mortified to walk around comic con in a bio-mechanical bikini ... and unless i fill my witchblade gauntlet with lead .... there is no way ill survive comic con so , as i flipped through the pages i remember when she was dressed all classy ...

seems like a pretty cool idea, then i can focus all my imagination and work on an entire arm piece .. here is a quick sketch i jotted down as i was trying to figure out how a suit will work and realized dress may be a better option

now this is a quick idea i do not plan on walking around in a see through dress .. it would defeat the purpose of repairing problem one ... but if anyone has advice even arm sculpting advice be more then welcome to share it ... because i am going to go about it with the weirdest possible tools ! and well if it looks half cool ill be proud lol ... oh yea and i usually stand as retarded as i am in that drawing ....

PHILLLL, yea man i know , i need to , if i had a witchblade i would wear it every time i went out someplace fancy .

 

[PredatrHuntr]

That could be a very cool arm...can't wait to see what you create it with

 

[poopymcbutthole]

im going to have to figure something out

 

[Darth Pinhead]

Really digging the arm concept. Though expensive and more difficult, would be AWESOME in silicone...

 

[poopymcbutthole]

i love the idea of using cones to make the arm but i would not even know how to start going about it :/

 

[Philby]

try to scrounge up a mannequin arm unless you can cast your own arm,.....

if i were to do it ( and keep in mind i barely have started doing this stuff )

i'd make it all as one big sculpt,....then break down to individual pieces strategically so it will bend where you want it,....
but onloy if it's going to be resin ,......if not go the silicone route,.....just not sure how to go about painting it

Great idea Nic ...BTW ..by Comic Con ..did ya mean this year's SDCC? ..are you coming?

Great Idea! If I was you, I would take a cheap kitchen glove, make some paper raptors claws, put the glove on a "dummy hand" with the claws on the glove, get a lot of hot glue and just go to town with it on the glove, and then spray paint it. that's just an Idea, you can do that with a sleeve too or if you going with a mid-morph look, you can can put the glove on (when done with hot gluing) , take some spirit gum and put it on the glove and your arm in weird shapes, then paint it and put some makeup on you arm to darken your skin. hope this helps!

[poopymcbutthole]

tried a quick makeup application test .... im pretty pumped to start this project

these are not finalized facial prosthetic pieces , i just cut up some old black latex painted it real quick and spirit gummed it on just to get an idea of what i would look like as a witchblade

The suit/gauntlet is gonna end up amazing, especially with the preview you got up so far.

My favorite part is no one has questioned why this is in the predator costume only forum and not the dedicated section....so freaking Zef.

 

[poopymcbutthole]

its on the zef side cuz its a cross over prawn.

I'll stick with my Army of Darkness / Howard the Duck crossovers

If your working on a budget and want some thing simple for a look a like gauntlet buy these. I've seen these in person and they can be easily moded to look like her gauntlet.
