Carl9149's "MAN OF STEEL" COSTUME

[carl9149]

New junkyard is up for the full new costume.
Thanks
Carl.

Very, very nice. Perhaps the S should be slightly higher?

I would agree ... with the caveat that some may want to cut the costume for the lower/squared neckline. So just need to be careful about that aspect.

Perhaps a couple different versions - one with the lower symbol for the lower neckline, and one with the symbol a bit higher ... I dunno :wacko



This is probably a subject for (or within) a different discussion .... but is there a limitation to what kind of material these patterns can be printed on? In other words, if one wanted to try to get the pattern printed on a thin wetsuit type material ... or a slightly thicker vinyl/spandex type material ... could it be done?

Also, were one inclined to devote the time and patience, do you think that one could "puff paint" the 3D lattice work on the suit - much like many have done with their "Rami" Spiderman costumes?

:confused

Not sure about the wet suit material, but the puff paint could be done (as in the ASM suits).

For those who have asked me about creating a shirt design...costs way too much to achieve the look at the prices companies are asking me for. Would be cheaper to create a dye-sub shirt and have someone like fabric on demand print it onto Lycra

If anyone can suggest anything else then please feel free to let me know.

Ta
Carl.

well my two cents, since people here are bound to make the 3d shield at some point, I'd make a version of the suit without the shield on it, so that when you glue on yours, you don't have to worry about the printed one underneath not being the same dimensions. I guess the rest of the design could be printed.

 

[carl9149]

I have a blank version in the junkyard for those that choose to do this

 

[DOORMANMATT]

Interested in a suit without a S logo on...

Lol - just saw the above!

 

[pablo888]

Great job! The suit looks great just in the dye-sub mode.

 

[carl9149]

Got my print back from Darkhero, thanks again man!, I personally prefer the new designed one I have done, but it's not bad for a test print.

Little left over red Lycra to show the suit off lol.

 

[zmanz]

put it on!

 

[carl9149]

Ha, sorry does not fit me lol, but it did fit Darkhero:

 

[Fosse]

This looks so awesome! I love the texture.

 

[TRIP3]

Looks cool...do you think you could post some clear pics of the finished suit? The last one of you in the suit is blurred and it make the suit almost look Gray ??

 

[carl9149]

The above pic was for the test print that got done for me, this is a shot of the new version print:

I have however been trying out different files and have been working on this version for a few days now.
Progress pics of the new design:

Still a work on progress but coming along quite well, think I may be getting better with this photoshop thing!

Is there anyway to get the yellow darker, as well as shading in the crotch...seems a little to highlighted..i seem to recall the tasm suit being totally blacked out down there.

 

[carl9149]

Yes, a lot of people have bought the file and have changed the colors already on them, it's easy enough to do. The crotch could be done in a similar way, or just darkened in that area to make it give the same effect.

 

[jolive]

Oh i was suggesting that you do it before i purchase lol i don't know the first thing about Photoshop...i plan to purchase this here in the next month or so to have a good time for puff painting i would like you to get as close to perfect as possible obviously so ill give you some time to get the bugs out...opcorn but i understand if you don't want to change major points on my behalf. Maybe i could figure it out.

 

[carl9149]

No I can change it before you buy it, just saying that people can and have changed things on the file to their own look.

 

[jolive]

Well alright then sounds good to me whenever you get it worked out let me know...looks great by the way
