I'm new here but have been an outsider looking in for a little while. I have dabbled with some suit making/customization of existing suits etc... for a few years as my family throws some pretty spectacular Halloween parties. This eventually led to cosplay for me, especially attending the NYCC as Dr. Doom (profile pic) & the Moon Knight this last October to a lot of fanfare.
I was especially impressed with the likes of some of the larger cosplays out there like the Juggernaut,the Hulkbuster the Hulk, Thanos etc... With that said, I have always been a huge fan of John Byrne's Alpha Flight and especially fond of Sasquatch. I initially came across this forum while conducting a search for Sasquatch builds when I found a member's build from several years ago, the only one in existence! I was hooked when I came across that build and decided to try my hand at it.
I have tried to approach this from a different angle than what was attempted before in that I wanted to source a full body muscle suit and have it furred up. This has become a tremendous undertaking that wound up a collaboration with a very talented artist whom I have been working very closely with. We are still very far off as there have been numerous difficulties but we have been powering through them as they have come up.
With that said, the following is a glimpse of the process with more to come in the following weeks/months until he has been completed.
The Great Beast stands at roughly 7' 6"tall, is almost 5' wide, suit weighs about 60 lbs. has fully articulating hands and has a very intricate cooling system. Once completed it will be trimmed and airbrushed to further highlight the musculature, etc...
Without further ado... Tanaraq, the Great Beast AKA Sasquatch!!!
