Jason Lives Costume Commission

[🪦 sirbrad ●]

OK got it about done. I got a beat up used pistol belt from eBay which is pretty good, I liked the new one I bought before which was darker green, but this one works and can be darkened. Also the ammo pouch came with some corrosion on the snaps that I left on to look more used. I did not weather the accessories though since they were taken off the guy, and not on Jason originally. Machete is very accurate with the shape shape and snaps on the bottom. I just used an X-acto knife handle again to simulate the round dart handles, and still not get around to making the full dart yet or fishing lures. I also did a lot of sanding on this to give a lighter, more toned down, natural look. The weathering shows more on the pants in the light, being that the pants are lighter in color. I kept it moderate and did the bottoms darker as shown in some pics in my books, Making Friday the 13th, and Crystal Lake memories. I also used the screen still in the beginning where Jason kills the couple with the little beetle car, to get the front bottom cut like it, and the dirty pants about how they looked in the headlights.

Also love how the paintball splat turned out, same shape, placement, and color as close as I could get it. The fence post stake holes are also greyish/black and wet looking. The ones in the movie seem lighter cuz of the outdoor lighting and glare, which I had them like, but then decided to darken them more to splend in a little better, and not overshadow the rest of the weathering by standing out too much. The day pics show all the details, but usually you only see Jason at night, and most love those pics the best as they show less and are more mysterious and scary. I might also be doing an alternate mannequin with this to see if I can pose it some, then costume videos later. I got the life-sized video coming, and I hope by the next life-sized/costume that I have an HD camcorder with sound. So here are the pics! I am very happy with how it came out, and I added a lot more detail and fraying. I got another one of these to do again too, I need to start making shirts lol. I also have an alternate puffy tan set of gloves, the customer wanted the yellow ones, and in some scenes they look more yellow and in some they are more tannish/white. I prefer the uninsulated ones though cuz it is easier to hold weapons and less hot. Enjoy.
