I was contacted by a friend and an Aquaman costume was purposed to me. Not being an Aquaman Fan I was hesitant "Bah!!!! No one likes Aquaman, I Said". Turns out I was wrong, So we started to design the piece, this was no easy task as Aquaman has had a few costumes and none of them (in my opinion) were very impressive! We did find that there are some impressive parts to the Aquaman Costume throughout the years however. So we did a little research and chose our favorite parts and put them together for what we hope will be an excellent Aquaman costume.
Here is our original design
Now to explain myself. This is the front of the costume, We will be designing the back as well. First off we Like the scaled shirt of "Classic and current Aquaman and wanted to keep that, We also wanted to bring the Scales down into the legs but not to much, we don't want him looking like a Merman. You will notice the Left arm is not scaled, we wanted it to have Armor on that arm as I think we will also do a gauntlet on this same arm. We added a tribal type Shark to the Left armor just to give it that royal Atlantis feel. The Scales will run down the Right arm as we like the idea of the skin being covered. You will also notice we went this an armor rather than an organic look. I'm a huge fan of the New 52 and like the look of the armor, I feel it brings a little more mortality to the situation. Even If I could talk to sharks i would not do in in my PJ's. I also Kept the Brief look, I'm not sure why, I guess it's the super friends fan in me. I'm also keeping the classic colors Orange, Green and Gold. Here is the design all colored up, keep in mind that the "real" costume will be darker but this is just to give you an Idea.
We will also be adding a custom made belt to the suit (perhaps gloves) and boots. So stay tuned and check back often Super Friends, the back is next.
Thanks
