Alien Cyborg Fishman Costume

This build took me 60+ hours to complete! It is all hand crafted/painted, has 500+ LED's, fiber-optics, an LED light-up brain, custom built floating LED face visor, and has a moving heart pendant build out of PC computer processor fans!

the costume was created from scratch and hand painted. I came close to winning a $5,000 grand prize in NYC but was beaten out be a giant robotic pumpkin monster...I will forever dislike anything pumpkin related :)

The small details of this build are what make it so special to me. The heart pendant for example took most of the time to finish through much trial and error. It is constructed using a mountable wall fishbowl with two PC processor fans in it that toss around white beanbag filling. Finding the correct filling to achieve the over effect of a working cyborg heart took some time.

The build is completely hand painted, and I think is what sets this costume apart from others. The fins alone were constructed from scratch using liquid latex and then painted.

The overall look at the end once all of the moving parts and LED's where lit up surprised even myself. The costume was a favorite this Halloween season and I hope you like it as well and that maybe it even inspires your creativity as well!

Enjoy!
