Wow, this looks amazing! Great work!
is there anyway to get the "brick" effect without having it printed? maybe layering a slightly darker mesh material on top? just curious, i want to make a suit and want a more 3-d feel and look to it than some if the suit i've seen
So here is the first pull using the new colours... comments please!
Hope ya all like it so far...
Cheers kids!
i want oneOkay kids, so I tried this with the first movie and with the more practice the happier i was with the outcome.
Let me know what you think, questions and comments ALL welcome!
Cheers for taking the time out to look!

that is amazing work are you going to screen print the webs and spiders as well?
At some point I'm going to attempt to mil the webs and cast it latex/rubber with the front spider attached. I don't know why but I have the urge to use the same red fabric for the back spider as the costume it's self.... Thinking of doing a layer of latex on the back of the fabrics, set and cut, then apply to the costume with latex again!? What do we think?
The only part I disagree with you on this is the "greyer" portion of the statement. The only thing that makes it look lesser in saturation is a combination of a few things. One being the color of the screenprint ink. But wait, I'll share additional thought on that in a moment. Second being the glossiness of that ink. Third being the source of the lighting, type of lighting (direct, ambient, bounced, etc), and intensity and temperature or color of the light (which will also affect fabric color). Then consider quality of reference photos we're getting from the shoots and the color reproduction accuracy of those cameras, many which may have been shot by third parties in uncontrolled and highly variable outdoor environments (direct sunlight vs cloud-filtered).Once again, gorgeous clean work. Once again, though, the brickwork on the film suit in the blue sections is darker and greyer (and more reflective) than the fabric. You're in the right wheelhouse with the fabric color.
As far as I am aware its totally possible but I'm pretty sure others out there have tried and failed... let us know how you get on 'shahid'.
In other news, new inks (for mixing my own shades) came today and new (darker) fabric should be here tomorrow :-D

As someone who was actually playing with this idea before I started work on a dye-sub, I actually went a picked out some fabric samples to try and achieve that effect with the layered mesh. Wasn't to fond of how it looked on a 4" by 4" square...
Oracle, this is looking really awesome so far! While we're on the subject of saturation, it looks to me that the base blue that they are using in the film suit is slightly less so than the fabric you've got there. A screen print closer to clear on a less saturated blue could work outDefinitely subscribing to this thread as I think that you're going to end up nailing this!

As it says in the title of the thread, it's screen printed. (AKA serigraphy)Amazing! How you do this? it's Sublimation or serigraphy?
