Green Lantern Movie Uniform - Put Together Your Own
The Green Lantern movie outfit is going to be a popular item at Halloween this year. Many boys and men will be wearing their personal interpretation of this fascinating character. The recently released movie gives the illusion that the suit is made from light emanating forth from the ring the character wears. The final illusion is that of a tightly fitting second skin that has an almost transparent quality.
The suit can be made from a Kelly green leotard with a turtle neck. There are websites where these can be purchased at affordable prices. In order to create pronounced abs a body sculpting undershirt can also be purchased online that creates the illusion that the chest muscles are developed. This shows through very well with the Lycra turtle neck leotard on top of it.
The character wears high boots that can be black or greenish. The basic neon green rubber boots available in discount stores would look quite effective. A more refined version is available on Amazon where there are a variety of spade-age Gothic looks to choose from.
The character wears a greenish-hued mask. For those who are skillful with body paint one can paint the mask right onto the face. This would be the most comfortable option instead of having to wear an actual mask. The supplies required for painting are a wedge shaped sponge, black, white and Kelly Green face paint from Diamond Effects.
Keeping an image of the mask close at hand to refer to regularly is helpful when duplicating it onto the face. The greenish shade and black are used to fill in the exposed skin areas.Starting off with the greenish-shade the eye area right up to a few inches over the eyebrows is painted in. The white color is used to accentuate more prominent regions of the face. Free tutorial videos are online to help in the shading technique.
If one prefers to wear a real mask this can be made with a sheet of Foamies measuring twelve by eighteen inches. A rectangular piece six inches wide should be cut out and placed on the rack of a preheated oven. The oven is heated to 250 Fahrenheit. It will take about three minutes for the foamies piece to droop.
Remove the drooping Foamies piece and place onto the eyes of the Batman mask. Cup the second mask over it and press to shape the foamies. Trace around the eyeholes with a black felt pen. Remove the new mask from between the two Batman masks and trim off the excess material cutting out the two eye holes also. Adhere the mask to the face with a few dabs of spirit gum.
The Green Lantern movie costume ring can be purchased from a well known children's toy store that has an exclusive on this item. If you want to save the money and make one, it can be made from different materials such as cardboard that has been spray painted green or carved from green wax. Online tutorials will provide clear cut videos that explain how to carve a ring out of wax.
