Help with Monoko cosplay Anonymous 08/13/12 (Mon) 00:20:19 No.594

Hello /cos/ I really need your help and opinion with this (And excuse any spelling mistake, English is not my main language).
So, long story short I want to cosplay Monoko BUT in a very realistic way; I want to make her extra arms robotic, I don't really worry about the looks of it since I'm planning on make syntethic sking made of latex or something to cover the robot and then put makeup over that and stuff.
So the questions: Do you think it could really be done? Any books of basic robotics you can reccomend me? Should I use a fluffy twin tail clip-on wig or just a non-removable twin tail wig? What color of lenses should I use (I was planning on useing one that covers my whole eye with white for the drooling eye and the other black but I want you opinion guys)? And I was planning to do it for halloween, do you think I can make it?
About the time I'm on vacation so I have all day to work on it. And I think I may be forgetting something but I'll see how this goes so far; Thank you so much /cos/

how operational are we talking here, and what experience do you have in robotics?
I think you are better off creating a high detail string puppet, but you could maybe pull off some minor twitch movements or gestures.
it will also probably weigh more than you are expecting, and it will be a pain in the ass to strap securely to your arms.

I was thinking on a remote control that I can easily hide on the "vortex" she has on her belly, I've made a couple robots for robot fights but with very simple structures like the ones on a remote-control car and electric motors with saws to attack. I know it will be really heavy but I will be using it for photoshoots mostley. I thought of that string puttpet thing too but I would do it just if I'm sure I can't do the robot because I really want to creep everyone out in halloween and plus it's a very strong cosplay challenge I want to make.
