The Hogg Predator (Wip Pics)

[Uglimofo]

Alright! I do apologize to many of you because I know you enjoy seeing the in progress pictures. But last Friday I got into a frenzied, creative mood until about 4 AM and just about finished the overall look to the Predator known as the Hogg. My friend, who owns a comic store, was having Free Comic Book Day on Cinco de Mayo and asked me a couple of weeks ago to show up in full costume, so I jumped on the opportunity. It was a really fun time, although a very warm time as well. There were so many people going in and out of the store that the air was not really that cold. I was only able to wear my suit for a little over an hour because of the heat! Next time I will wear sweat bands on my arms, head, and ankles to keep sweat at bay. I will also fill the Camelback ( which is the Predator medipack) with water and freeze it the night before to assist in cooling. I at least have a better idea of how to stay cooler next time. I am still doing more work to this amazing costume so stay posted. More to come soon with lights and sounds! Hope you enjoy...

Ok, it has been awhile since i have posted anything . Since this began 2 years ago, I have changed locations and jobs twice over. That being said, Living in the mountains has made me far happier and healthier. At last, I have a studio space again for my many artistic endeavors! I am happy to say that The Hogg Predator is still in process. I am currently working on the Half mask. I am using a Daniel Bravo Predator 1 Version 2 mask from Casey and cutting the face out. It is the same kind I used for the Full face mask above. The undermask had to be large enough to accommodate the modified Boar helmet and the DBP1V2 was one of the largest out there. It works like a charm. On a separate note, but same topic, I was lucky to meet Wonko at a local comic convention while suited up as the Hogg Predator! It was a great time "hunting" there and we were the only preds representing, so good times, despite the rain. Anyways, hope you enjoy the pics. Stay tuned for further updates!
