The Green Lantern movie costume is going to be a popular item at Halloween this year. Many boys and men will be wearing their personal interpretation of this fascinating character. The recently released movie gives the illusion that the suit is made from light emanating forth from the ring the character wears. The final illusion is that of a tightly fitting second skin that has an almost transparent quality.
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.
People who love to paint may choose to draw the mask around their eyes. This is less cumbersome to wear than a face mask. The equipment needed to paint can be found in a craft's store. The body paint colors of black, white and kelly green are all that is needed.
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.
If one prefers to wear a real mask this can be made with a sheet of Foamies measuring twelve by eighteen inches. A rectangular piece six inches wide should be cut out and placed on the rack of a preheated oven. The oven is heated to 250 Fahrenheit. It will take about three minutes for the foamies piece to droop.
After 3-4 minutes when the foamies starts to droop, it should be removed from the oven and placed over the eye area of the Batman mask. The second mask should be placed over the foamies so that a mask shape will be achieved. With a black Sharpie pen trace the eye holes carefully. Remove the Batman mask and cut out the basic eye shape of the mask and the holes for the eyes. Spirit gum can be used to glue it onto the face.
The Green Lantern movie outfit ring is available for purchase from a major children's toy store. It can also be made from green wax, cardboard or wood. The easiest is to make a template of the ring on paper and then transfer this to cardboard. Once it is bent and glued together it can be spray painted green. There are many template patterns available online to choose from.
