Huntress Predator


Recommended Posts

In addition to my Hero Stormtrooper, Sandtrooper, Snowtrooper and Tusken Raider I have a Planet of the Apes Gorilla Solider and now I'm proud to share my Veteran Huntress Predator costume to add to the mix. This was a commission build from a company called Wreav, they are a team of 3 individuals that collaborate to create beautiful costumes. I came up with a concept for how she should be painted and here she is:

Here is some of the build photos...

 

Getting ready for the head.

Getting ready requires help, I need 2 people to dress me. I'm also 6'9" with the head on, I'm normally 6'2".

I have a very wide upper back and shoulders and the body suit had to be modified and expanded to fit.

Now that's a great costume, looks like the head must weight quite a bit, more comfortable than a TK to move around in ?

 

The head is quite heavy, the weight of the dreads on the back on the head is very noticeable. Plus the head is basically skin tight to you head. So no fans the only air you get is from the eye holes and 2 little holes inside the mouth. 

 

Compared to the TK, I think the TK is more comfortable. This is HOT! beyond anything you can imagine you're encased in latex head to toe which is tight and restricts movement. I can't sit nor can I get me arms above my shoulders. I can't dress in this by myself I need to people to assist. Once the torso goes on which is tight squeeze I'm useless handlers have to dress the rest of me.

Christina, I can't remember, but are you in the make-up/fx industry? Paint skills are killer! :jc_doublethumbup:

 

I'm in Animation, while I mocked up the colour scheme in Photoshop of how to paint it, it was two guys that I hired to cast the suit and paint it based off my art.

Its insane hot hot this is. I haven't done a con yet that's in 3 weeks so I;ll report back then. Its skin tight so its a little claustrophobic being in it.Your whole body is encased and once the head goes on you immediately feel the heat rise and the whole head is fitted tight to your head. I have to take deep breaths and focus on calming myself to get into it.
