I should start by saying this is a new thread requested by some of you so you can track my progress on a costume I'm making (of an SJ) for possible inclusion in Megacon 2012 in Orlando, Florida in 2 weeks. I'll post pics and descriptions as I go (or have gone), since I've been working on this thing part-time for the last week. My full-time job is teaching video and audio production (with a side of art direction) in Central Florida. My media of choice to create my sculptures (seen elsewhere) and costumes is: chicken wire (basic structure), paper covered with masking tape (for general sculpted sections/shapes), and twisted masking tape (for detail), covered with more masking tape for a skin. I'll cover everything with either liquid latex (for pliability with costumes), or resin (usually for sculptures). Check back from time to time if you'd like to see my progress. Hope you enjoy!

@F-it: I realized after I got a handle on the design, that by using the masking tape, I was closely mimicking the "look" of the original. Hopefully with some shades of tan and brown air-brushing it'll look pretty close. @BH: Thanks for the support. I would consider it an honor for the costume to be mentioned. @ Gehirn: Thank you, I consider myself fortunate to be listed among the creative types in this forum. It certainly houses some of the best artists and writers I've ever seen. It also has some of the best "thinkers" too... And that's where it all really begins.
