OK been working like a madman on this for the last 4 weeks and it is just about done. This is a commission for a guy in France and I think he is going to love it as it turned out spectacular. I weathered the clothes as much as possible yet still be wearable for someone who I cannot really accurately size it up on if they are not here, so it may not fit perfectly on the mannequin but should still look great on it. Luckily he is about my height but bigger pants, so had to really belt them up on the little mannequin waist. I kept the rips a little smaller and confines just to be sure they fit him and he can make them bigger if needed, also kept the sleeve longer for the same reason. I really happy with the costume though and actually hate to let it go now lol. But I will be doing another personal one for myself and maybe a display one so I can shred it up more.
Here are some teaser pics for now, will have a lot more soon and videos on youtube as well. Still waiting on the mask so that I can paint it to match the other parts. I also latexed in the parts on the pants so the customer does not have to worry about underpants matching the holes etc, and those areas are usually tight to the clothes anyway. The rotted flesh that I made turned out perfect, can't wait to do the outdoors pics in a few days. The ones with flash over-exaggerate the brightness of the colors but outdoors should give more accurate colors. I used a lot of different color stages, and ended with the mud look when he just got out of the lake and when he got up out of the mud puddle. I will still be touching it up once I get it on the mannequin.
