Great going jack. Waiting for your next move to come up.

One of the better muscle suits I've seen. Like the .proportions. Muscular but still in the realm of realism. Well done!

This looks great!
Just wondering, as a noob, what is the undersuit? a dive suit you glue the foam on?

 

[jacksadventures]

Thank you so much guys. The under suit is just a 40$ morph suit, you can get suits cheaper online. I used barge contact cement for the adhesive, and im using a 1/8 upolstry foam to skin the bigger foam muscles. Then I will be covering all of it in liquid latex. Then adding the lights and painting and all that. I spent a lot of time trying to make it look like the comic and not goofy size wise so thank you for the complements im actually going to do some work on it now, I'm adding the under muscles sections to the back, which is usually really plain in most pics I see but I felt like it needed some extra detail

I'm working on the mask right now, figuring out the shapes

Planning out the shape in foam, I'll be making this and casting it in resin

That mask looks like it's going to be incredible! I'm not a fan of this costume design on paper but I think it's going to look amazing in person
