The Green Lantern movie costume is the talk of the town ever since the movie was released. Many people are recreating the costume in preparation for Halloween. The form-fitting piece of apparel appears to be made of light shining out of the character's ring. A greenish glow seems to be covering the well defined torso that has become very desirable to duplicate.
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.
Black Funtasma boots would be very suitable to virtually complete the outfit. The style of the boot is space-age Gothic. There are about a dozen versions of this to choose from on a well known giant online store. Regular lime green rubber boots bought in a discount store would be effective also.
The fictional character also wears a greenish-colored eye-mask. The artistically inclined can actually paint this onto their face around their eyes. This option is the most comfortable since there is no mask to hold onto the face. The recommended equipment for creating this mask are a small sponge that is wedge-shaped, and white, black and kelly green paint from any face painting product line.
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.
For a real mask one can make it cheaply from a 12x18 inch Foamies sheet available in craft stores. Other supplies include two rigid plastic Batman masks purchased from an inexpensive discount shop. Cut put a six inch wide rectangle from one end of the sheet. Preheat an over to 250 degrees F and place the piece onto the rack for a few minutes.
Remove the drooping foam piece and place onto the eyes of the Batman mask. Cup the second mask over it and press to shape the foam. Trace around the eye holes 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 uniform ring can be purchased from a well known children's toy store that has an exclusive on this item and other Green Lantern costumes. 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.
