Mondoshawan from the Fifth Element

Kristen Badeau-hauptmann

I started out building this guy by creating wire armatures for each body part.  Then, I used different fabrics to layer each part.  The head was sculpted with clay, molded, and made a latex mask.  The entire costume was hand painted.




Here is a YouTube video of the costume in motion: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=4OWeSw-2D-s
