    The Cheetah!

    I threw together this Cheetah figure from the box of crappy CTVT's female bodies I had laying around. My daughter has been after me to make a Cheetah figure to fight her Wonder Woman.
    I based this Cheetah design on the one from the Justice League Unlimited cartoon. I am eventually going to make a Cheetah that is based on the modern comic book version when DC decides to give her a look they are staying with.

    The head sculpt is mine.





    I put/cut the suit together by scrap spandex type material. Piecing it together with fabric glue to fit the doll. Then I paint it with fabric paint so it dries stretchy.

    With this suit, I clumped it on to look like thick fur.

    I have developed this technique last year. The doll is very moveable. Yes, it looks like paper mache but it feels like a rubber body suit when you goto play or move the doll. It is really crafty. I might post a tutorial if enough people ask me about it.

    What do you use to make your suits/costumes from? It almost looks like paper mache!

    The headsculpt is cool, it definetly has a JLU-vibe to it!

          Thanks! I always thought people could care two rips about what I did!
          A lot of people look at my figures and think they are painted solid and cannot move. That is not the case!
