Dead Space, Mass Effect, Mucha, and Reach! Pic heavy..

[Soul Drinker]

I'm just going to start a thread of all the crazy stuff I've been planning and working on, since I never post, usually, and just to generally get opinions. My Isaac rig I actually finished for D*con last weekend, but I'll post pictures anyway!


First run of the pepped helmet. I'm not sure if one of us made this, I found it on google:



Yeah the middle strut is the wrong way. The helmet size was a bit off, anyway. I had to modify some parts like crazy.

The plasma cutter, in progress. I was going to use an airsoft pistol as a base, but I had this laying around for 5 bucks...just wanted something fun, ya know?

 

[Soul Drinker]

No, I don't know how to make things into one post. >_<

2nd helmet, nicely fitted, fiberglassing:


Side view:


This was me deciding what to do with the thin el wire. I had to diffuse it somehow...:



I ended up using the parchment paper as a covering.


Uhh...


The back!


(Btw, it got trashed at D*con. Needs repairs before my official photoshoot...)

I know the paint looks like it's dripping, but I actually liked the grunge effect, since it's such a dark and grainy game:

I should have sanded more, though. The bottom tubing was giant plumbing stuff I found for 5 dollars, cut way down. The thing copper tubing was something I found for 3. It was a pain to bend it into the already fiberglassed notches..



And with lights:


I know it isn't as thick as it should be, but I did want to be able to see..this helmet was soo stuffy though.


I had the hand light and the HUD display on my chest lit up, but I think I forgot about my helmet. Go figure.


With my friend dressed as Soifon. I made her arm thing in like 2 hours! And she borrowed my hakama from sword class..lol


Isaac needs downtime too.


I believe I trimmed the arms too much on the flight suit. But a better view of the plasma cutter. I'll post better pictures of this once I get to the photoshoot this month and make repairs.

Next up! A N7 helmet for a friend's birthday, and a Mk6 helmet with this painted on it for another friend:

haha, thanks!! I didn't even get to bondo...I had to do this and a whole MK6 suit over from scratch last month before D*con...

 

[Chantelle]

Can't wait to see the Mucha.
The Isaac getup looks fantastic, though! You even got that brilliant "old bullet casing" colour.

 

[Soul Drinker]

Yeah! I'm not sure how it's going to go on the helmet, dimension and space wise...>_<

Thanks about the Isaac rig, lol. You gotta love random colors of spraypaint..

 

[Chantelle]

You can practise drawing it out as lineart on balloons with a marker to work out where you're most likely to get distortion, etc. It sound weird, but it does help and it's cheap practise haha.

 

[Soul Drinker]

Yeah Im going to...



A picture someone took of my helmet and my plasma cutter in good lighting....

 

[Chantelle]

So awesome.

 

[Soul Drinker]

Haha, thanks!

 

[Minkyboi]

dude, your method for diffusing el wire seems like potential for a Tron costume...

 

[Soul Drinker]

Definitely. I've seen a lot of tron costumes using el wire, actually. It's really easy to use and bends really well.

 

[MikyVengeance]

wow!
I loooove DeadSpace and it was either a DeadSpace costume or my Noble Six.
I have questions
how did you make the actual body armour?
anndd
where can you find el wire? IT LOOKS AMAZING! : o
looks great btw

oh ive seen a lot of the older tron outfits but havent seen any that are based on the new movie coming out

Which body armour? The dead space suit?

And el wire I just typed in on google. I actually ended up using a site called CoolNeon. They had a ton of tutorials and junk. It really is quite amazing. I just wish it had been thicker for my rig, ya know?

Thanks for the compliments!

i used a similar diffusing trick for my arkham asylum scarecrow build.
well done.. but i'd encourage a better undersuit and more weathering on the helmet.

El wire is alot of fun to work with, isnt it?

 

[rumble]

I remember seeing you! Didn't get a chance to take a picture though. Great effect with the EL wire!

I actually thought my undersuit was pretty spot on, save some areas. I don't actually own the game, since my brother took it with him.





I don't know, I liked it. And I do like el wire a lot. The only problem I had with it was I was iffy on the coloring in some areas.

So I mostly worked off this picture, since many screenshots were too dark, and even in walkthroughs of the game I had trouble:

You saw me? Man...my costume got so trashed so early in the day, you were lucky if you saw it all in one piece. You should have taken a picture! I got like..2. Lol.


And I'm building a crappy necromorph costume for my friend for halloween. We'll see how it turns out...lol.

 

[Night Fury]

Very original stuff here.

 

[Soul Drinker]

Pictures of the terrible necromorph outfit!


On a person, no arms



You can't see the caved in rib area. I haven't attached the little arms yet, either.
