Custom Comic-Style Flash Cosplay (WIP)

I've had the idea to make a Flash suit for quite a while, and I was originally going to do the CW Flash, but ran into the issue of me not being able to replicate it to the degree I'd like. Instead I have decided to come up with my own Flash suit design taking a large inspiration from the comics, and the CW show. Here's a pic of my initial sketch. IMG_8462.jpg
After that thought a bit more in depth of the vision I had for the suit. My main goal for this is to achieve a good comic style suit thats recognizable as comic style, but also has a cool new feel. I really wanna try blending lots of materials too.

As of right now haven't decided on a Cowl, or the whole bottom half lol, I've have been more focused on the torso.
I plan for the shoulder pads, and chest pad to be a vinyl or leather looking material, with the main body suit being just a normal red zentai. For the ab,side,and inside elbow pieces, I would like to do a fabric that I can puff paint or texturize somehow, and then sew on. As for the logo I like the CW's 3D emblem so I want to try and do that look, but my only problem is I can't find just the lightning bolt, I don't want the outer gold ring for this suit but I don't think you can find one without the other. Here's a look of what I kind of want the color scheme to be, with the exception of all the yellow pieces being gold with the finished product.

That's about all for now, thanks for looking and let me know if you have any suggestions on anything (especially the emblem issue)!

Wow! Awesome design and drawing skills. I'm not sure how to help with the emblem, what do you mean by you "can't find just the lightning bolt"?
 
It's small enough that you could try molding/casting your own lightning bolt. Trial sizes of Smooth On's mold making materials and casting materials are pretty affordable, and its size makes it very user friendly (i.e. if you mess up on the mold and/or cast, you will easily still have enough material to try several more times).

I dig your design! Kudos for biting the bullet and deciding to build exactly the costume that you want.
 
Thanks guys means a lot! As for the lightning bolt thing I meant just the lightning bolt piece of the emblem as opposed to the whole emblem with the bolt, white or red background, and golden ring on the outside. I might just go ahead and sculpt it, and then cast it in resin or rubber. Thanks for the idea! More to come soon guys hopefully going to sketch the rest of the suit tonight, and I think I"m starting to come up with a cowl idea.
 
Haven't been able to work on the design much but I had a little time today, so I started sketching out the pant and glove areas, along with a concept the back design (not really liking that back design though so I'll more than likely change it) Here are some pics.
