Selina Kyle from start to finish.

This was a huge project for me ! By the time I acquired all my resources i had less then three days to fully complete the suit!
Here is where the madness started,



i have always been a HUGE comic book fan, I was just a little girl when batman returns came out , but in my opinion it was probably the last cool thing Tim Burton had graced us with, haha i was fascinated with his vision of Catwoman , i never really thought my face was built right for that mask in particular so , I experimented with some regular eyeshadow and junk makeup. Yep , laugh go ahead

The more i looked at the make up job , the more i wanted to make a suit
so i did!
first i got a mask.

interesting thing about this mask is , i had to hide my hair in it , my hair is past my tailbone. yep , that was a project on its own . After securing my hair to my head, I had sewn bra clasp like clamps to the slit down the back of the mask to seal it off completely once it was on
Now i needed my suit ,
this was a rough patch , my suit came EXTREMELY late


and then all the customization (video i had made for the hunters lair)
YouTube - makin a catwoman costume kinda sideways...





and done!

haha i made that prawn costume in between making my own, and the guy dressed as a prisoner , well he asked me to make him into a zombie prisoner so i was like ..absolutely ,we were on a train to the city so i put womans makeup on him and then i was like turn around i gotta put blood on you , and i dumped stage blood on his butt , im sure you guys can figure out what i made him into LOL

http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g3...hORdie/***.jpg This is the last one that did not show up , stupid photobucket :P

Three days?! Great job

WOW! Looks great!

Thanks guys , it was rough all that stitching , my hands were like swiss cheese i poked myself so many times! After a while i was sewing in serial killer gloves lol!

That's alright every good costrume has a bit of it's owners blood built in. My fett has about 8 stitches worth of mine. The catwoman looks great, and man 3 days? my Fett has taken about 4 years now and I'm still tweaking and replacing.

i would assume a fett costume would take A LOT more care and attention , the batman returns catwoman was meant to look ,roughed up stitched all over and there is really not much to it , well besides trying to survive while wearing it lol, i really look forward to making a female boba fett suit , im goin nuts trying to figure out what i am going to need , the dent in my wallet it will cause and if you lost some blood ill probably lose my leg in the process! lol... im really stoked about this though ... i have been doing my homework all over the internet trying to figure out how to build a helmet from scratch but i dont think its happening any time soon LOL ...as far as costume making goes im on the short yellow buss...ill keep my eyes open for sellers on here :>

I'd suggest buying a helmet and making the armor. When people look at each other, the focus tends to be the face, so you want that to be the best.

I got to see the original catwoman suit at the museum of modern art in NYC a while ago. It was pretty rough looking at this point. And TINY! I had no idea she was so small!

Yeah , my laytex suit is embarrassingly tiny! hahah it has to fit skin tight though! So you are even mildly putting stress on it , it almost looks like the material is fighting to stay on your body! I have to agree with you on the helmet i will definitely buy a helmet! Since i am not going for a traditional male boba fett suit either the costume design can be very flexible , i will probably sketch a few concepts :->

that suit looks awesome girl! havent that good of a catwoman outfit. ive some close but that 1 def tops the cake.

thank ya :->

Hats' off to you.
That came out real nice. I can't think of a Catwoman version that had long hair.....but I'm sure it would be very cool if done right....wink-wink!

Thank you dahone, i could only imagine long hair being awful for a catwoman ... its like a roap attached to your head !

Roar!

there have been a bunch of incarnations of the character with long hair:

Selina kyle with hair , yes ...but this is the mess i am dealing with ... and it is way worse now ! this was a long time ago

WOW!!! You got all that up into that cap that is just insane.

Girly youtube tutorials about bobby pins :-< ....so much brain damage from girly tutorials.

wow. that is REALLY impressive. my wife's hair isn't NEARLY that long and she has a tough time getting it under a wig, never mind a little latex cap like that!

lol it was not easy , taking it off while intoxicated was even harder .

Oh awesome i will check it out tomorrow night :->

Very nice Costume! Hope to see some pics with Batman soon!

cant find a batman around here :-<

wow, i would think you'd have bats beating down your doors! go to dragon*con. you won't be able to get away from them!!

Great Catwoman costume. Especially given the quick turn around!

LOL! @ Stormtrooper guy...and thank you webchief :>

Gotta say amazing work in such a short amount of time... You definetly seem to have an artistic side which is always good to do any kind of original piece if you decided to do the female Mando/Boba. Just make sure if you do it you put a thread up on here lol... BTW diggin' the pj pants, very cute if i may say so :P

hahahaha oh man! i was like where does this guy see my pj pants , i was like oh maybe my video i posted , then i realized i was just in a bra and jeans that day ...im sucha dummy i forgot i posted a pick of me in my long johns !!!! and thank you so much , i will be sure to post anything cool i come up with :-> or lame ... lol

nice

i think a female boba fett should be next

Great costume!
Love it.

thank ya :>

So...
have you completely recovered from the pit bull attack?

If you live in Northern California, I've got batman covered:


Official Batman for 2006 CA State Fair. This was the Post Office Stamp unveiling

Excellent work! I'd like to see the "Battle Damage" version next!

HOLY BATMAN! GREAT SUITS!!! I LOVE THEM! .. and @ slave pilot technically i am not fully healed , so if i get smacked on the nose with a rolled up newspaper after wetting the rug , it hurts a little more then usual.... haha my face fortunately did not get deformed from the accident so im pretty **** lucky especially after all the surgery and junk

1. after attack



2. after surgery


3. werewolf transformation complete.

Oops, That attack was over a year ago.
I need to brush up on my cyber-stalking skills.

I Just finished reading up (on the Lair) on the damage you've inflicted on yourself over the last ten years and I gotta say that you've held up quite well.
It was a strange read to say the least, but I can relate
My son is your age and loves to skate. His ankles are really bad off from rolling them, but he won't ever stop. He hasn't hurt himself as badly as you have though
My wife has a very similar scar on her side/back from surgery last year. She also has a keloidal scar (like yours from the knife wound) from one of the chest tubes that she also can't stand. Both of you guys need to realize that the scars don't detract from your beauty, they only make you more interesting.

Since you are relatively new here, I'll go ahead and throw out this disclaimer so you (and anyone else) don't feel as if I'm some kind of creepy perv.
My wife and I have been together since 1985, she is my world . I have no interest in any other woman and never will.
That being said, well done on your costume. You look absolutely stunning.

wow thats nuts i hope your wife is in better health , and i hope your son can keep from getting injured any further , once you start really messing up your legs ...aging really screws you up you legs will always give you problems , your back ... ugh .. its awful , thank you for reading up on my story! i had a lot written down on the lair from what i remember , and a lot of people on the lair had similar stories , a lotta strong people :-> ... it makes me happy to see a loyal person as well ! thank you for the complements on the suit , (and most of us on these forums come off as creeps , its because were so **** nerdy and really interested in the awesome dork stuff people make and wear around )

Amazing work! I like it..

Yes, that's her too (and she is beautiful,thanks). She's giving me her cherry


Funny, if you look in the picture behind us, that's Seeker on the left and SpideyFett on the right

sorry i fell off the map guys ;->

im so sorry for not responding to you guys and all your awesome feed back .. you are truly a great goup of people here

I know.

Im trying to think of some thing to say and not sound creepy,
so Ill just stick with awsome

rofl sweet ...awesome sounds good .. thanks bg

Love the suit! Good to see it is still holding up!

thank youuu

Thats intense! Good stuff ; )

That's one sick suit. Nice work! And btw, has anyone ever told you you're the spitting image of Amy Lee from Evanescence?! Pretty cool!

Wow, this is the first time I've seen this thread. Excellent quality costume under such tight time restraints.



I think there may have been something very very wrong with that last can of Fancy Feast.

Very nice. I had the chance to see one of the screen worn suits in person at Tim Burton's Gallery at NY MOMA, and I have to say the quality of your outfit looks to be much higher than the one Michelle Pfeiffer wore (The stitches on hers were simply glued over the suit). But...

hahah thanks so much .. and yea .. tim burton i dont know what happened to him! i got lost a long time ago the second he destroyed planet of the apes i was done for! ..... and no one in my life has ever told me i look like the girl from evanescence <--- i had to spell check that rofl .... yea i think the only thing we have in common is we both have teeth LOL .... aside from that i really do not look like her...then again maybe with a mask over my face ... or a mauled battered look ... eh .. i think i have the wrong one ..rianna was the beaten one.... eh ... singers they are all the same ... but i digress since i am probably making enemies now ... THANK YOU EVERYONE! lol i really appreciate it ... hmm her stitches were glued on! ****** ! yea the stitching make me wanna jump off a cliff but it had a nice turn out !!

Yeah, all the stitching was pre-done on tiny boards, which were then glued on over the suit. Seeing that in person kinda felt like finding out that Gary Busey's teeth aren't real... It's crazy what a little lighting magic can do...or hide...

I think it's ok, cause then I get to see threads like this and see fans who have made suits better than the originals. And Error has my vote to play Catwoman if they continue the Batman movies. Anyone know how to reach their casting people?

The last 4 pics are amazing! You really did put an effort into it.

Actually... I do! Well, technically it's casting for extras in the new film. I saw this a short while back, and thought about doin' it myself, but with work, summer classes and all... Still trying to get up to Pittsburgh this summer to try and catch them filming. Anyway, I'm done hijacking the thread now...

Kind of makes you wish you were Catman, eh?
