Drop that shit now.

And this is not normally something I would say to anyone, but you have a way to go fitness wise if you want to look like the engineer. Don't ask us, go to /fit/ and ask what you can do.

Body paint will be helpful, but won't take you all the way. Let me see if I can find the thread on body painting for you.

Is OP a picture of you on the left? because you're pretty good there. Just contour a bit when using the darker bodypaint to accentuate muscles.

And nah, don't worry about dropping more bf. You should be fine as long as you have enough muscle definition to be outlined by the bodypaint.

>>6838995
Yes that is me, Im on a cut right now until summer gets here anyway, so thats how the idea came to my mind.

>>6838996
Sorry for that, im from /fit/ and it's just a phrase i've caught up. However, Im really happy that you guys take some time to help me out!

Definitely practice your body painting skills. I agree with >>6838995 you're pretty well set. If you CAN drop more body fat, go for it, but I wouldn't call it necessary.

>>6839004
I think you just need some more sit-ups and chest presses. Idk you're from /fit/ you probably know that. You won't look exactly like the guy on the right but you probably don't need to worry about it too much. Bodypaint will only help a little, it's kind of difficult to get it anywhere near realistic looking unless you have a good artist doing it for you, and just drawing lines will look ridiculous. You'll need shading and some texturing and such.

I couldn't find a thread on body painting. I guess this may be a good place to try to start one? Anyways, here's a thread where if you can wade through the drama, they have a lot of recommendations on body make up and how to seal it.

THAT'S ORIGINATING FROM /FIT/?

Or is it everywhere...slowly encroaching...

>>6839024
/fit/ should be renamed to /feel/, I belive it's origin is from /fit/.

Lol no. The engineer has prosthetics on anyways

>>6839021
Thanks for the link!

>>6838989
If you've seen the behind the scenes photos the Engineer has a TON of prostetics and make up on. Not to discourage you from attempting this costume but as stated before practice your body painting or get a friend who is good at it.

I hope you're at least over 6 feet because it would look weird if you're too short.

Also since you're asking about body paint you're looking at full scale spray ons that theaters use in productions. Regular body paint isn't going to cut it since you have to do most of your body and will wear down over time or where skin touches skin. At this rate I would look into getting a zentai suit and getting a professional to do this for you if you're serious.

>>6839065
Im 6foot exactly. I might have a friend help me with this. Will a blue spray as background at shadows with toned white spray over it do the trick? Filling in the shadows with some dark colored powder maby?

Im not dead serious with this project. If theres flaws such as the painting wearing out after a while, it won't matter so much to me. However, thanks for the advice for spray.

youre fat and dont even think about drawing lines u fucking cheater ur either cut or ur not. go back to fit u fatass

>>6840057
I smell jealous fatty-chan

put some more mass on and do it next year convincingly. even with great body paint skills and someone to help you apply it, the nature of the engineer is that he's yoked as fuck and there's no way around that. you're looking good, especially in the delts, but body paint can only do so much. goes without saying that you need really impressive body paint either way so make sure that's squared away as well since no one's gonna look like the engineer without body paint natty

also imo hit traps hard with heavy shrugs multiple times a week to bring them up especially

>>6840062
You should be ashamed of yourself. Blatant trolls smell nothing like fatty-chans.

>>6840062
He's not really fat, but just not that big or anywhere close to an engineer.

>>6840166
Why is it you always respond like a bitch to any guys who happens to post to /cgl/? Why do you even post here at all? Never seen you be the slighest by helpful.

Engineer anon I think you could do it, but you'll definately need help with the painting and whatnot. A bit of excellent airbrushing and shadowing will make all the difference.

The black goo at the beginning of the film? That was creatine.

>>6840323
i am helpful u fatty
>>6840451
not even 1nce

The thing is OP is that the character's defining feature is that he's ripped as fuck.
Anything less than Greek Hero is going to fall flat. Sorry dude but you even don't have defined abs yet. No amount of shading will convince anyone.

Good luck with your fitness though.

You need to work your traps more, my man. And you're pelvic region could be more cut. Other than that your pecs and arms look good. Abs could be faked id need be.

>>6840323
God has been acting extra jelly lately. Sounds like someone's gains be shrikin'

>>6840855
Or gotten fat
>>6840488
What are you talking about? OP has abs, you can see them, though he'd hat to cut his bf% down a little for them to be more noticeable. The main issue is op shaded his abs a little oddly and needs a bit of a gradient to make it look more 'natural'

Also OP seems to have a 4 pack torso
His arms and legs and pecs are large enough that he can fake being more cut than he is with some slight bodypaint improvements

Worst movie in recent history.

>>6840886
Really? The WORST one? It had flaws, that's for sure, but I can think of a lot of movies that were worse.

>>6840872
im supa fat

>>6840166
Do you actually lift or are you just another faggot from /fit/ who spouts bullshit whilst being under 100lbs or over 400lbs? The guy's not engineer mode, no but given a few months he could easily attain it.

OP, work on your forearms and chest predominantly, the abs will catch up when you cut. You could do with hitting your legs as well as they're not as defined. Just deadlift, squat and bench the shit out of your body and you'll be perfect.

Why is prometheus so unaesthetic

>>6841869
>given a few months he could easily attain it

maybe if he turns in his natty card. look at the pics you see of good engineer cosplay. OP has at least a year of heavy lifting and heavy bulking and several months cutting before approaching what I'd consider a good size/body fat to pull off a reasonable engy

>>6841869
loLLLL a few months to attain that?
lolol if he spends those months buying the prosthetics, then yeah.
u get out of here. u fattymc fat fat.

>>6841898
Roids and the disciple of gods would do it in a year.

Mostly roids though.

>>6841885
A year? My god what do you people do when it comes to working out and eating? You can easily turn OP into a good Engineer within 4-5 months and it would be completely natural (protein shakes included in said natty-ness)

>>6841928
lol pls go

>>6838989

>>6838989
>>>/lgbt/

>>6841928

what do _you_ do when it comes to working out and eating to gain that much mass in half a year. even a year is fairly generous, that's assuming OP really works his ass off and has a great diet

engineer isn't something you can half ass at all

>>6841928
>4-5 months
Doable

>Natural
wahahahahaha

Hold on, let me read that again.

>it would be completely natural
Are steroids natural? If so, then yes definitely.

With a proper and strict bulk and cutting diet along with a great work out routine, you're looking at a year minimum with a realistic two years to achieve that. But that's two years of work you'll be proud of and you will be able to do a lot more ripped cosplays than just an Engineer.

>>6841928
Probably thinks celebrities bulk natty for movie roles to, hahahaha

i think the OP can pull it off, even though he has pretty decent mass, not nearly enough definition, but with the proper shading he can look pretty good. the bodypaint work is going to make all the difference

jesus all you little bitches.

iv been working out 3 times a week (2 hour full upper body)

for the last year and a half.

its not so hard once its a habit.

>>6838989

Clen, my son.

Clen.

Wait, how did I suddenly get on /fit/?

>>6843585

>implying you ever got off

captcha: statuettes tacIna

>>6843534

read the thread, we're talking about the specifics and feasibility of putting on a certain amount of lbm in a certain time period. not whether working out is "hard"

>>6843534

>3 times a week (2 hour full upper body)

I shudder to think about how pathetic your legs must look.

I honestly think you'd make a good engineer right now; the reason that guy's muscles seem much more defined is strategic makeup and most likely photoshop. If you were to change anything, I would say try to bulk up your upper chest/arms, and thighs, since this guy and the guy from the movie's look more burly, where as you're more lean.
imo, I think lean looks better outside of this cosplay, though.

>>6839113
It'd be better to do white first, then apply the darker colours in the natural contours of your muscles and the engineer's. It'll look better, and if you do the dark colour first it'll probably show through the lighter one.

>>6843621
Two more things:

Most of those engineer cosplays pictured are 1. the same guy, and 2. have some sort of prosthetic on them. Granted, they're fit underneath that, but full body paint makes it much easier to blend the prosthetic in and make it look right.

If you're going to do some extreme thing to drop body fat and water weight very quickly, stop *at least* the day before the con. There are so many people that do crazy stuff to try to get perfect for their cosplay, but then end up light headed and sick from low everything and exhaustion from walking around in a cramped, warm space all day. There have been plenty of people who have passed out or gotten so bad they just had to leave. So, whatever you do, make sure that 1-2 days before the con you're eating normally and well hydrated.

lolol

>>6843621

I assume by lean you're not referring to bf? because the engineer is very lean
