Elite costuming

[xalener]

I know, but youd have to fill it with somrthing and get the angel perfect. Otherwise the foot could break or seriously throw off balance.

Well, first off. I'm sewing the actually suit part.
It goes.

Body suit--> Body suit with padded muscles--> integration of the stilts (In the body suit)---> elite head over my head.


But the stilts i'm using are the bouncy ones.
They look like this

So they are similar to elite legs.
Also, the pic Skie posted is a bit exaggerated for the elites, they legs are quite as angled. Least, not when I was staring at them, I'll do more looking on the legs.

SC,

Very ambitious on the stilts...have you already tried movement and being comfortable in em? I'd like to hear your opinion on em. Thanks. I'm looking at a Dog Alien eventually and those stilts will come in handy.

LMK when you can and thanks.

Stay safe,

Tim.

Can you fit skin around those at the right shape? They are curved, but when you ware them, they still go streight. I think You'd have to heavily movify the stilts to work.

[Yodajammies]

it'd be like walking in clown shoes, I dono....

 

[smartypants1635]

If you wanna walk Tip toes all day long then no you dont need stilts. But Those werewolve stilts will give you height and shape.

 

[SPARTAN405]

Not only are the stilts cool, but they are an extreme safety hazard. If you arent 8 feet tall naturally then you really should think of something else. I mean sure, those stilts without the full armor would be nice but think about adding an extra 5 pounds to your body from armor. That would make you very unstable.

 

[smartypants1635]

Those werewolf Stilts actually are pretty stable. I've used something similar, Just don't bend over to touch your toes.

 

[Sarge Christi]

you need stilts to be an elite.
Elite's are 8ft tall, guys. Unless you're a humanoid freak, you'lll need some stilts to make you taller.

 

[Nomadic Spoon]

Or, if you're really short, just go on the shoulders of a buddy. Instant height.

Jokes aside, I'm excited to see a full Elite costume. But I'm too short to work it right.

 

[smilie120]

You could always break your calfs in to shape with a hammer, although it'd make you smaller and it'l hurt

Well Spartans are like 7' tall .......

you also gotta take into account the extra foot or so that the head adds on... so in all reality some people might not need stilts.

 

[Ironcobra3000]

elites stand 8 feet tall in total, but when they are in battle formation, they lower their long necks to prevent getting killed.
which in turn, makes them appear around the same height as the chief.

 

[cheech92007]

cant see the ppics but from everyone els it sounds like your doing a good job

 

[xalener]

He still missed a joint on the leg. It has 2 knees.

 

[smartypants1635]

NOOOO COME ON Its like a Dog or a cat, Its only 1 pair of knees. They walk on their toes, and the bend towards the knees is the ankles. Theres a Pic of that in the thread :rolleyes

 

[xalener]

I know that. But the elites have two knees. See the lower legs? Those aren't feet, we'd like to classify them as that, but there are calves and shins on them.
