Hi everyone!
Back in October the boyfriend flew out to see me and in a crunch before a convention (~2 days) pulled together some pieces that were in the same style as his own suit (an original design of his own making, meaning I have literally no references to follow). So now I'm attempting to finishing up what he started. I figured I'd post what I've got thus far and update you as it goes along. That way you can all witness my poor attempt to be creative.
I mostly work wit fabric, and this is my first time working with foam, really. All but the thighs have been free handed, and I'd love some feedback.
I'm not usually one to simply slap a skirt on it and call it good, but this was what I'm starting with: Calf pieces (I'll be redoing the knees, as they didn't fit right), upper arms, and a chest plate.
So I started with a really simple sort of chest rig, it's by no means finished and I was intending to do a separate neck piece added to it. It's a bit hard to describe, but I'll post pictures after I've got it started. This would be the back of the main chest piece...
And the forearms.
