Greetings all, this should be the start of a year long project. Just enjoyed Comic-Con this last weekend and i want to get a fresh start on next year's project.
Now i only got into this hobby a few years ago, the first costume i found myself drawn to and making was deadshot. I pieced together what i could, with what limited skills i had at the time and this is what I came up with
It was a good first attempt, and I'm quite happy with the eye piece. But let's see if we can do better now that i have some experience under my belt.
This time around I'd like to do a more comic oriented version, something akin to his suicide squad outfit. The first thing I would like to tackle is of course the helmet, I want to do his full head helmet this time around. My initial thought right now is to use a file I picked that is essentially a power ranger blank. Will give me a rounded blank helmet to work off of and customize. The biggest challange I foresee right now is visibility. I would like the aiming red eye to still light up, which I don't think will be a huge issue. But to not completely screw myself over on visibility I'd like to open the other eye slot and find a way to work it into the paint job. In essence creating a 2-way mirror effect that blends into the rest of the helmet.
Ideally I should have the "base" helmet done within a 2-3 weeks, which in the meantime will give me time to discuss it with you clever folks and find a good way to tackle this
