For those of you who don't know me, here's a shot of me, ironically with my own shades, lol.
I think I could pull it off.
As far as concepts go, this is what I had in mind. I didn't wanna do the traditonal comic book superheroish looking Cyclops costume because I'm a big fan of the more streamlined tactical look to some of the newer interpretations. Mainly this one here -
So I'm
thinking of taking that concept and merging it with this one here.
I think in the end, what I'd have is the base suit of the first image [with the short sleeves] out of spandex. Though I'm beginning to consider using
the milliskin fabric like in the SR suit, just because it would be a new twist, rather than being monotonous and repetitive, by using basic lycra spandex
repeatedly. Still trying to decide what I'm going to do with that. And yellow pleather ontop of it for the chest emblem. And I'm not sure what I'm
going to do with the little shoulder guards yet. I'm wanting something solid but I don't have the slightest of ideas what to do there yet. Still
figuring that one out. Definately keeping the belt. Minus the little harness thing because that just serves no purpose whatsoever. And for the visor, I'm
thinking if I used reflective tape it'd give the appearance of glow in pictures which would be pretty damn cool.
The only thing I'm not sure about is the random chest doohickey in the first image. I have no idea what it is, but I just kinda like it, and I'd hate
to ditch it, but it just wouldn't look right over the X insignia. Any thoughts?
Again, whether or not I get this done for DC depends if I manage to get my usual summer job after I get out of school this year. If so then I'll give it my
best shot to accomplish over the summer.
But yeah. I just thought I'd share this idea. What do you guys think? Me as Summers?
But I get what you mean, it's a slightly different texture. You might even get a wet-look spandex for
that, you don't see it used much for this kind of character.
