Putting the finishing touches on my suit for this evening. Please forgive the fact that it's on a female mannequin. Lava like welds added to spikes, gloves done, cod done, boot shells done and done. The boot shells are Destroyer, wrong era yes...but all I've got to use but I think it's pretty cool. A little retro, nostalgic almost. :toocool Nearly there.

Then I have to figure out how to attach this bad boy to the leather cod base.

This year for Halloween I want to change it up and go with Gene's MONSTER suit...shown here on the on the far right. I'll be using the Monster armor from our Licensed KISS Monster Leather Jacket shown here... And for the boots I've made up a set of Monster armor leggings that strap over the leg part. I've got a set of Destroyer shells...yes yes, they're not the right era shells but they're all I've got so... Wink Once the shells are mounted to the platform boot base I'll finish painting the leg and shells accordingly...as well as the legging spikes. I did not make the leather cod or these bat wings, but I will be attaching the cod armor - shown in black, which has to be painted silver chrome. Almost there!

Then last year giving it a few tweaks but still not feeling happy with it... ...until this year. :toocool  It took another few hours of reshaping and texturing to get it to where it is now and finally, finally I'm done with it....hopefully LOL.:lol Shoulders completely redone, arms, chest and ribs reshaped and more texture...foot part of the boots totally redone. I even added the cape attachment part in silver this time. For the paint I used several shades of grey and silver, and for Halloween will probably shade the white bones down some. Otherwise it's done.  This shot is from a few days ago at Dragon Con in Atlanta, GA. Was great seeing you all there and the whole week was just a blast!

Redid the entire torso, shoulders and the feet on the boots. Also added the cape. :) This is all foam, cotton and latex. Nothing is sculpted...and it's a one of a kind.

It's made from a simple cardboard box for the chest, and a cardboard inner tube for the arms. Her sister Arielle helped me with the spikes. :cheers I can't tell you how many times I burned my fingers with the hot glue gun... :lol Next comes the rubber coating, silver paint and strapping it all down. Boots and belt coming too. We already made the bat wings and the smile on her face is just precious! You'd better watch out...'Cause here comes the Demon and the Heartchild!
