[QUOTE="ChadVanHalen, post: 3670894, member: 142848"] So after finally reading John Ostrander's Deadshot miniseries from the late 80's I've come to the conclusion that Deadshot is the coolest cat on the planet but now that's he's been on TV shows, the games and now a movie he's going to start becoming maybe not quite Deadpool and Harley Quinn level but pretty popular to cosplay as, so I might as well get one in before the movie... Anyway, as much as I love his comic book costume a full spandex body suit not only isn't compatible with my body but I don't even know how to begin with the mask, since in the books it looks like it's some sort of metallic cloth that holds shape or whatever with all his stuff still attached so browsing through various Arkham City and Arrow versions I stumbled upon this guy's Deadshot he made for a Nightwing fan series on YouTube and it's incredible and I decided I'll base my design off this one [ATTACH]488706.vB[/ATTACH] So overall it's pretty basic, standard military/paramilitary tactical shirt and pants, red tactical vest, etc. The famous Deadshot wrist Magnums seem pretty simple, make myself a couple gauntlets with EVA foam and buy some airsoft pistols, cut em in half and glue them on top.
