Hello all, been a fan and follower for quite a while have made many of my own things but just finnished creating my take on a Man of Steel stile kryptonian armor. would love feedback on it as in my neck of the woods not many people do this type of thing. The symbol on my chest is the Kryptonian letter for H as that is the first letter of my last name.

Nice work, particularly on the paint job. Cool original concept too.

Right now it looks "comic pristine" which is what I call costumes who, like in the comics, seem never to wear out. If that was your intention, perfect! If you'd like to add a little more realism to it, here's my suggestions:

-Use a fine but distinct black paint line to trace wherever the bronze directly meets the blue or read, particularly areas that will catch a lot of lighting (i.e. the buckles at the top of the chest plate and the accents at the bottom, and the accents on the boots). This will make the bronze really pop.

-Using a fine brush and metallic paint, just touch the edges of certain pieces, like the grieves, knee pads, and where the chest piece meets the lower torso. Again, this will simulate that these have been used, without going all the way into "battle damage" territory.

-Similarly to above, you can use a sponge and watered-down black paint to add shadow to certain pieces, notably the abs. Use the sponge as you would a brush though, lightly swipe as opposed to dab. You can also do this around the bottom rim of the boots, again to simulate wear.

Just my 2 cents. The cape looks gorgeous, btw!
 
Thanks for the input Vox. im keeping it "presteen" untill after a wedding im wereing it in on the 28th, then was thinking of adding some of the wear to it.
