The Green Lantern movie costume has everybody talking about how best to recreate this intriguing outfit. In the movie it appears as if the suit is not an actual physical piece of clothing but rather is a body of green light emerging from the character's ring. The effect is a body hugging neon-like light that emphasizes his torso muscles. A simple way to duplicate this look and feel is to wear a kelly green-shade turtle neck leotard with matching tights. There are some excellent websites promoting these items at very reasonable prices. An undershirt that sculpts the body with its formfitting material will show through the Lycra of the leotard. These can also be purchased online. The color must be as neon-like as possible to give the effect of light. 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. An image of the mask should be placed nearby so that you can refer to it as much as you need to. Most of the mask drawing requires shading with the greenish-colored and black paint. The emerald color is drawn on first, then the black, and finally the white for emphasis. There are free online tutorials to refer to and learn the technique. For a real mask one can make it cheaply from a 12x18 inch foam 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 costume also features a ring. This can be purchased from a large chain toy store. For the do it yourself person the ring can be made from wax, wood or even cardboard. A template of the ring can be made first and traced onto cardboard. Once that is cut out it can be bent, glued, and spray painted green. David L has more than one interesting web site.
