I think this is your most impressive work yet, man. It's thrilling to see!

thanks lunaman
im really enjoying it . this site has really got me going . got some cool costumes coming up that will test me but im happy with venom for sure . its nice when you have an image in your head and can bring it into life, i cant wait to see the two clients in their costumes at the calgary expo together...just need an awesome spidey like yours for the trifeckta..lol

hey

not being able to leave stuff alone i decided to add veins....heres the layout its only pinned so nothing is permanent yet. im trying not to go overboard but do want them noticeable. they are made from foam piping. great foe veins and comes in various sizes...if you can find it.

As always, when making a new product, you don't know what people will want until you tell them what they want! Adding the veins makes is top notch, but it was already top notch, so now it's even higher!

Marvelous job mate, i'd so love to pose as Spidey next to that suit but I doubt your client will ever come to France haha.

Something completely to late to suggest but it seems to my eye that the Lats are to low. However, it still looks amazing and will be a show stopper. But I wonder if the guy might keel over dead of overheating after a few hours?

yeah had to drop lats a little to allow better movement and flexibility...trade off..good catch
hers the detail tightend on emblem and flats done will do airbrush highlights next ...thinking metallic blue ...maybe..?

So, yeah, getting in and out? It looks like there is a zipper on the back.... or at least there probably is, since you can't see it. How is it to get the arms and legs in and such, is it very constricting, which will lead to tearing of the latex when the guy puts his foot in? Arms ok, you can point your fingers and roll your hand to make it smaller, but a foot, feet don't like to change shape much.

:eek ... wow

theres a zipper concealed on the back.the suit is a one piece. the ankles are larger than they look. this whole thing is huge so proportionately they look small and there is a squeeze but more than enough room to get foot in and out.

You just need to design a body suit with small tubes that will circulate cool water around the body

 

[lordgilpin]

Hell yes!!! Beautiful work! Metallic blue highlights sound perfect

i was thinking of putting in pockets that you could put gel cool packs.... thats another reason i dropped the lats a little was for heat exchange.

Badass!

heres some better pics of the skin texture and suit in general. the fabric ,latex and foam (textured) combined can make some real natural forms and lends itself nicely to symbiotes.
if you want skin flatter or smoother you can replace the fabric with 1/8 foam stretched over , and/or carefully wrap muscle groups in thicker material and hide seams in the natural muscle folds.( you can latex brush or better yet spray it on directly over 1/8 foam)
the latex shrinks a bit but you can use that to your advantage if you account for it.
airbrush tonight and i went with the blue metallic and ill mix some iridescent medium as glaze to give more alien ..buggish looking there . saw some nice Bowen sculpts like that.
the tongues are magneticed and can be removed easily, they help hide the host as well.
