ANATOMICAL GLOW BODY CAST
Here are the photographs of a prototype arm I have prepared for your viewing. This is a life
casting (glow in the dark costume/glow costumes) from my arm that represents what the entire
suit will look like.
The suit that I am creating is constructed of a lycra spandex material. The glo powder is
mixed within a silicone / xylene based paint that will cover the stretch suit. As mentioned
earlier, the application from the prototype arm, using a clear coat polyurethane, will
be much different from the soft application of the silicone on the lycra
suit. Through using the material I have learned the various time and saturation levels
for light, along with the specific need for application on the lycra/spandex
(while retaining a vibrant glow.)
The red on the arm that forms the veins is a mixture of red and orange. I found that once the
red has dissipated the orange still glows well, and that it conforms a little to the red as well.
The bone work was a mixture of orange, green, and violet wile the arteries
were mixed with violet and blue. I would like to add some of your yellow
and yellow pink to the background of the suit so that it may have a warmer
appearance and color diversity. The Aqua was used with green to create the
pressure points and lines. I would like to mix some of the white powder in
with that as well.

Creating Unique Artwork
This unique artwork is latex based. It took alot of trial & error to get the latex paint
to mix well with the strontium aluminate. I have used the violet & the yellow-green. I had
better results with the green, simply because it is brighter & glow longer. The violet is
really easy to where you cant even tell that it glows, but hit it with a black light for a
dew, then cut the lights, and theres that awesome purple glow.
Glow Tiki
To make the glowing tiki paintings I designed the tikis and then painted them thickly with
acrylic paint. When they had dried I added a glaze over the lighter
areas of the glow powder mixed with a soft gel medium. I can't give exact
ratios as I kind of played with it til I got an effect I wanted.
