And so it begins...

A couple months ago, I started to wonder about some costume ideas. One has a lot of free time when rendering visual effects. So during this time of boredom brainstorming, I came to the realization that there are a crapton of Master Chief costumes from the Halo series, but you rarely see much else. There is the odd Marine and even the rare Cortana. But when do you ever see an Elite? 

So as my crazy imagination began to get carried away, I decided to make one. And I want to go full tilt with it. Complete with stilts and even a fully working animatronic head and mouth. (those robotics classes I took in middle school are finally gonna be put to use) I've given myself a year to complete this, just in time for the cons next year.

Badass just reached a new level.   7'4 in fact

I will be posting up my progress as I reach mile markers with the costume. Though the start will be a bit slow as I'm still acquiring materials and sketching up designs. Be sure to check in.
