You are making me seriously rethink how I would do my own skin...just when I thought I had a plan....oh well.

Thanks Lee....In some respects maybe it did drive me a little crazy... I am half way through my dreads project and then I will be on to a backpack and armor. I absolutely must learn more about making a suit from silicone...you have inspired me. I can tell I am going to have to learn to sculpt with clay...all in due time though I guess.Usurper said:Steve,
Seriously dude, your bio is something that would drive me up the wall if I had to attempt it, you obviously have immense talent sir.
the undertones were done by stippling with a brush, then some blending with a airbrush, but the veins were all done with a airbrush , there are quite a few smaller ones but its hard to see them in the photo.
I did a time lapse video, but I look like crap so I decided not to post it lol.
Don't you need to do a backpack Steve
Thanks for the comments again guys
Well I thought I said above, Its VERY stretchy.oxtheii said:Looks wonderful Lee, starting to look very alive.
Now I have no real idea how stretchy silicone is, but if you can easily get it on thats great. But what about when you start sweating like a mofo? I would be concerned of the torso being sticky and unpleasant and when you want to take it off for a break you'd have the hassle of taking it off and getting all your lovely sweat all over your face.
I would think adding something like a zipper would make it easier on ya when you want or need to quickly take it off. But its just a thought ^^
It's all up to you of course ^^ You could be clever and find ways of covering the zipper but I bet it will look, and it already does, more life like without a zipperUsurper said:Well I thought I said above, Its VERY stretchy.![]()
I have a rash vest/under armour underneath and if I was worried about sweating I wouldn't build a costume like this. It will be no hotter than latex, again said above I thought.
As for the zip id rather get sweat in my face, than have a big zip going down the back ruining the effect. I guess you don't have that option in latex though.![]()
No idea on cooling as yet Drew, it fits very well in most places, so im not sure I may just sew some pockets on under armour and stuff them with ice cubes lol.kithunter said:man that's pretty...real pretty.
have you thought of a some sort cooling system for the piece?...
