Laughing Octopus

This thread is archived.

  • Hey!
    So there's this group MGS my friend suggested and I would really love to make Laughing Octopus. I know how to make the bodysuit and I have a wig already, but I was thinking of trying to make those tentacles.
    I know it'd be hard and I probably could only manage a shoot with them and not a con, but would it be possible to find wire or something that could keep its pose and hold me up? I thought if I could make two tentacles create a base and a third go around my back so I can lean my elbows against it and hold myself up long enough for a few shots.
    Something like this: [url]http://oi55.tinypic.com/9glsid.jpg[/url]
    (Red, blue, purple and green being different tentacles and the yellow bit being a terribly sketched person) The red would be one support, the pink the other, then the blue would be the armrest that goes behind me so I can keep myself up. The green I could maybe make pose-able or another support.

    Is there any wire that could keep me up like this? Or should I go for something stronger? I'm 120 lbs and 5'4" if that makes a difference.
