Velociraptor Fullsuit

*THE LEGS ARE SUPPOSED TO BE AS THEY ARE, DO NOT COMMENT ABOUT THEM BEING OFF IN ANY WAY.*

Please no more comments about this and that being off OR your doing it wrong! i have never heard so much nit picking about a costume in my life and will not accept anymore for this video or pics. This costume was a HUGE challenge to take on in the time i had and the amount that was charged.

Keep in mind this was made for someone who is sized differently, and does not fit me perfectly! NOT FOR SALE!

The raptor suit was finished up this morning in the wee hours, and today she'll be shipped off to her new owner in TN to be debuted at Dragon Con 2011. So if you're going to that convention, keep an eye out for this Clever Girl. ;D

Head Features:
-Moving Jaw (Mechanics are a secret, please don't ask.)
-Fully sculpted head made of resin and rigid foam for extreme lightness. (Custom mold made)
-Tongue made of flexi foam (custom mold made)
-Teeth are attached to head mold so also made of plastic and extremely light
-Vision ports in the neck so wearer can see very well, while it being somewhat camouflaged.
-Head has 2 fans installed for optimal airflow
-Resin cast eyes handpainted (Custom mold made)
-Airbrushing over the entirety of the head.
-Mouth "flaps" for realism
-Zipper in the back for easy in and out
-Magnets on neck flap to corresponding magnets on suit to hold it down.

Body Features:
-6FT long tail with a foam core that moves in an extremely realistic manner
-Reticulated foam used for a good portion of the foam work for excellent airflow and lightness
-Various degrees of upholstery foam used for the rest
-Fingers are individually carved out and can be moved separately by your own fingers
-Toes are attached to shoes for extreme comfort
-Claws are all made out of plastic, slush cast for lightness (Custom molds made)
-Zipper down the front for easy access in and out
-Fully lined with athletic mesh
-Fully airbrushed
-4 belt loop attachment for the tail to keep it upright and steady
-Velcro and snaps used to keep feet on

All in all the suit only weight 18 lbs, which is really nice, considering what it is. The length is about 6ft, and it's about as tall, so it's a pretty impressive costume. This suit was meant to resemble the raptors in Jurassic Park 1, so no feathers.

Do you know if the commissioner has uploaded any videos of them wearing this suit? I can't seem to find any just by searching, I want to see it on the person it was fitted for. didn't know if you might know something

[Monoyasha]

@AxialTangent I think there has been one or two from Dragon*con, unfortunately the commissioner had some back issues so was standing upright nearly the entire time, so I don't think it would show anything better ^^;
