who doesn't love ang lee, director of such thoughtful films as the wedding banquet, pushing hands, the ice storm, and... hulk?
you can guess which film inspired the kid's choice for hallowe'en costume this year.
it's tempting to just feed the kid steroids and paint him green. tempting, and perhaps illegal. so instead, i decided to start with some kind of basic bodysuit, build a physique on top soft-sculpture style, and upholster it with green fabric.
here's the base i chose: classic stanfield pyjamas. "these look like underwear," complained the kid (he's used to tailored jim jams).
i made him put them on and sketched roughly where the muscles should go. sort of like a plastic surgeon might.
now i'm in the process of bulking him up. here i've got the biceps, pecs, and abs basted in place.
you can see a bit of the green fabric in that shot, too. once i get some shoulder padding in place, i can start putting it together and see how it looks!
