Hi Everyone.
I am using my husband's member name to post up... I am Erin... not Greg.
Been floating around for a bit and I thought I should post my Cortana (Halo 3 Version) costume build for you guys to check out. I just finished it last month so I could wear it to a local comic book and collectible convention.
My bodysuit was commissioned by a lady that makes dance costumes... I wanted it to fit perfect and it did. I chose the fabric that she used to make the suit. My friend (who is an artist) did a chalk drawing of the designs on the suit while I wore it and then went over the chalk lines with a blue marker. The marker lines were a very simple outline of the design, so I that could go in a paint all the small line details, dots and curves. I used a high end fabric paint from a company named Pebeo. I used two mixed colours for the dark blue base and a light blue shimmer and silver for the "binary" details and layering to give the suit the illusion of "movement".
The painting took about 2 months on and off. I bought the wig and cut it to the correct hair style and hand strung the beads and sewed them into the wig.
Here are the pics!
