The drive behind this was I always thought the Darkness character to be the Holy Grail of demon costumes. However despite any artistic 'talents' I thought I may have, to take it on was almost too awesome a project for your average Joe Schmuckitelli without the help of experienced Hollywood FX designers and their seemingly limitless resources.

I found a handful of photos posted of home made Darkness costumes but no details about construction. Eventually I contacted Miles Teves and he sent me pictures of what they did with Tim in the movie. "Send photos!", he said. I then decided to photo journal everything and post it for any other Dick and Jane to help give ideas to pull this off.
