Finally, inspiration!! Let's CUSTOMIZE!

Finally, after so many days dozing in and out of limbo land, trying to gather some inspiration for my next custom, an idea struck me. Why not do Ninja Gaiden? Looks pretty simple to me. I had some stuff lying around. All I need to do is some simple sewing of the costume and make the swords...WRONG! On closer look, I noticed that there is a layer of carbon fiber texture beneath the leather/PVC/lycra piece that he's wearing. HOw on earth am I going to get that type of material? Too late. I've already started to sculpt his head...
