Elite costuming

[Sarge Christi]

Okey doke.
I've figured out the hands, that's won't be a problem really.

I've already made some drawings and notes i'm willing to share. :lindsey:


this one is mainly just showing the differences between elite legs/feet and human legs and feet. i think this + the face will be the hardest part of the entire costume.

my first couple of doodles. the one that says "people" in poor hand writing shows about where my face will be. ofcourse, it won't be a square, i just was doing it to help myself out

In this one, I compared human arm vs. elite arm. i don't have to do too much to that one thank goodness. just put the skin over it really.

This is the first of what I'm sure will be a series of drawings.
Well, thoughts or suggestions?


(lol i forgot i wrote "wort wort wort" on one of the pieces of paper :mrgreen: )

I recall someone made an Elite Costume that was incredibly accurate. Someone post a pic of it? The guy was on stilts and his head was in the elites head, not the neck.

Under Armor's "Heat Gear" line might help with the heat issues of the costume.

adreniline, last page sean gave me the links to that guy's page.
it's helpful-ish.
i've seen his costume and stuff. it's really awesome.
I don't want to emulate his costume, i want to make a better costume.

i'm an overacheiver

It looks good, I can't wait to see it when you begin :-D

just so you know, i'm proud of the elite on the last piece of paper and the one with the elite with it's back turned.

well, i've got help in Singapore when i go back there.
my dad won't be helping me on this project *tear* so it's up to me and my friend (who's also a girl) to do it by outselves. :celebrate:

Looks like your really getting this thing planned out nice. :mrgreen:

I think the most exciting thing about you making a elite suit that you put armor on will be that you'll be able to make different sets if you want. Standard, Arbiter, H3 variants, the possibilities are endless :hyper:

Christi, I put this together a while back to show how matt was positioned inside his elite costume:

 

[starfox64]

this is what i was talking about with the hands
they used a setup like this for league of extraordinary gentlemen

for the fingers

 

[UnDedSnipr]

Hmm... Interesting, I'd like to see a completed hand if you make one.

 

[starfox64]

ill try and dig up the rest of the pieces
this was back from my all powerful robots days

 

[MC Chris]

Interesting idea about using brass knuckles, That idea for making the fingers move is like the Marines in starcrafts armor. the wire would have to be kinda strong because if you try to grab something and then hold it tight you have to worry a wire will snap. <-- Ouch!

 

[starfox64]

controll wire
... its used in airplanes its not gonna break without sabotage

good luck on making the Elite armor

jsut take your time and you might make something better than Matts, hehe
