Psicorp7, thanks for the tip on the eyes. I will be sure to try those techniques out...the paper towel was a temporary visual aid. 
Thanks for compliments on the airbrush work. This is my second project using an airbrush. I am loving the results.

The seams looked decent i guess but no where near perfect by any means. I used elmers school glue to seal the foam, modge podge in nonflexing areas, and then used an automotive sandable primer to get it paint ready. The rest is hidden in the magic of a decent paint job i guess.
Thanks for the compliments. I have better images and angles of the mask that i will post later today.

for the eyes, try a mesh splatter screen from walmart, white on the front black on the back, should work fine

Thank you. I was already thinking the same as you as far as the suit goes and attaching the face part to the spandex hood. I would have to redo some airbush work but it would probably look better in the long run. I will cross that bridge when i get there i suppose. As far as airbrushing goes, i am as knew as they come, but I have done many fine. art projects with paint brushes in the past. I just look at my reference material, get an idea of the general look I want to go for, and lay down some subtle shading. if i am liking how. every line is looking, I go back and do the shadowing and darker areas on top of my base color. After I had my low lights painted on I went back and added some simple highlights everywhere that there should be a raised or protruding area to give it a little contrast and make everything appear to have that 3d quality. I literally only used 3 colors on the. mask portion of the cowl. base of royal blue, darkened royal blue and royal blue with a touch of white. To achieve the comic sketch look i simply went back in over my airbrush work and added more shadowing. As far as painting. the muscles on the suit goes I plan on using the same technique with the shading and the comic style hard lines. And adding a small muscle suit under the spandex .hope this helps out...

Looking like a great start to me. What are your plans for the chin area and what color scheme are you planning on doing? Where did you get your claws at also?..they look great.

I am planning on running a piece of elastic under the chin. I haven't decided on a color scheme just yet, and the claws are these:
that I removed from the base and used a metal coat hanger and a wood dowel to make the handle and they end up like this

PERFECT! I actually looked at those claws on amazon a couple days ago. Great job converting them to the quality look of some of the claws that I have seen for sale in the junkyard. I am sold on them!

If you wanted something more "fun", then I'd certainly recommend DarkSide's claws being sold over in the sales section here...Well worth it since they look so good....
