Wendigo Costume Build

[Wendigoslayer]

Hey! i've decided on making an original costume based off a dream i had a couple nights ago. The creature im basing my costume off of is a Wendigo, if you watch Supernatural you probably know what a wendigo is, if not its basically just an emaciated, cannibal monster. Im basing the costume off these images below.

I'm also basing my costume off of this description if a Wendigo. "The Wendigo was gaunt to the point of emaciation, its desiccated skin pulled tautly over its bones. With its bones pushing out against its skin, its complexion the ash gray of death, and its eyes pushed back deep into their sockets, the Wendigo looked like a gaunt skeleton recently disinterred from the grave. What lips it had were tattered and bloody. Unclean and suffering from suppurations of the flesh, the Wendigo gave off a strange and eerie odor of decay and decomposition, of death and corruption." So im going for a bony, pale, sickly look. I think im going to make a latex body suit to help simulate ribs, and bone/muscle structure. Would that be a good path to take with this kind of project? If any of you have any tips i'd greatly appreciate it or if you have any cool ideas as to things i could add to the costume that'd be great.

Cool! That version makes more sense than the Marvel comic version I am used to (which really makes zero sense for a creature that is starving and mad). You gotta be pretty slim to pull it off though. I have seen some weird versions of this character, and one of the creepiest by far was the deer headed version.

Try leg extension stilts to give a dog like leg posture.
