I'm starting a Corrupted Captain America suit build and I wanted to add my own thread to the community that has helped me so much with information and inspiration. The suit design will be in black and silver with a simplified stealth suit front with the Civil War style shoulders. The twist will be a red crystal sticking into the heart of the suit. It will spread tentacles of oily, pulsing corruption across the body including a glowing red star on the chest and extending up the helm to a LED red left eye. There are also a number of interesting and difficult constraints to the build.
I plan to track the details of the build in this thread including materials and WIP pictures. Given this is my first big sewing project I could use some encouragement and advice. For now though less text and more photos.
