Savage Opress.. Oye

[mizunomiko]

Alright the kid has chosen what he wants his dad to be. And has picked Savage Opress. Does anyone know where I would even start with this thing?

[iam8114]

oye is right.

Not really sure where he falls to begin, but you are looking at a new character that hasn't really been done yet, not even sure if there are standards for him or not.

Start working out. Don't know how big you are but Savage is big and bulky.

[iam8114]

isn't he also shirtless? (uhoh, I'm giving eric ideas...)

He is that's why you have to have the right body to be him.

Damnit Neil you stole steroids right out of my mouth. AS crazy as this sounds, I saw one at Comic-Con but it sucked pretty bad. But I guess it was a start!

ONLY in Cali can a gal make Chewie smokin' hot. darn, now I miss my Ukrainian pedi-cab driver dressed as Capt. America ALL over again! Couple more days I might have been in love!

I would agree with the others in saying that you need to have the right body to pull this bad-boy off. He does have a full outfit though in case you didn't want to paint your chest and back. Since he is a new character, it will be hard to find threads on him, but you can always look at the paint and horns in the Darth Maul threads on this detachment site:
http://forum.501stsithlords.com/
I would say join their forum and go from there. On there, you might be able to find someone that makes Darth Maul horns, and ask for a custom longer set? You can find out what is the best type of body paint as well as figuring out if free handing the skin design versus stenciling. The best glue for the horns and so on. The hardest part about trying to do a character that no one else has is figuring out how to make the actual costume. There won't be many tutorials if any anywhere.

Good luck, and I'll try to assist but you might get the most specific help on the forum I linked above.

PQ and I were just talking about Savage the other day. One guy up in Canada has gotten him pretty close to done. I think his paint could use some tweaks, but otherwise it looks like he might be the first in the Legion. I hear his leatherwork is all custom, and was very pricy. Next time you're around someone with access to the Legion boars, have them check out this thread:

Thank you to all of you, and I would like to point out that my son picked this for my hubby. Not myself. Nick is a soldier and has the muscles, but would rather be covered. I am a bit too..as we say chesty to ever be able to pull this one off. LOL I will go through what you guys have on here and what Remo sent me and go from there. I'll keep you guys updated. This one will take me a while since I have 6 other costumes that I need to do from start to finish.

This will be an adventure for sure...

I think sintra be a good medium to make some the shoulder pieces and stuff? Or rather start off with foam board to then move onto other materials. Jen and Anthony have experiance with Sintra, Anthony made his Anakin with it and it looks good.

[Zombie_Bunny]

Sintra is really easy to use. It cuts easily, and bends easily if you are careful. It's very light and isn't too expensive. I bought a 8ft x 4ft sheet of gray for $60ish. The gray is more than the white, but I didn't want it to scratch and have white show. And I also picked it up from the northside, so no shipping.

I'm working on a Savage atm. The one from Canada looks great as far as the outfit, the horns are way to big and the paint is not correct colors. I'll try to update as I progress.
