The DC Custom/Redesign Thread

[BoosterGoldstar]

I am trying to design myself a Booster Gold costume. Here is my design that I have so far. I am not sure how I will be doing the boots yet.

Very cool design. Booster Gold is someone you don't see a lot of cosplays of, so that will be cool.

 

[BoosterGoldstar]

Thanks Captain Rogers. Booster is one of my favorite characters. Plus I wear glasses, so it is an easy one for me to have work around them.

Yeah I would love to see the finished product as well...very little love is shown here for less than popular characters

I am currently thinking of doing a Green Arrow with elements of Hawkeye. Such as the vest that Hawkeye wears with a hood and green coloring and the quiver with the bow. sounds stupid I know, but I need something I can wear in a parade and not burn up in. Almost died in my Red Hood costume last year in the Dragon Con parade.

And I am open to critiques and suggestions. I am very new to this sort of thing.

Oh wow! It's cool that you did a DC thread as well, Captain Rogers! Thank you for doing so!

Great stuff everyone! Looking forward to seeing more of everyone's designs.


Here's my contribution. It was a concept for Wonder Woman that I had in my mind for a while. I've recently had some free time out of work so I went and and finished the piece.

I really love seeing layered draped clothing on Greek statues. That became my starting point in building up the concept

Very much inspired as well by Sideshow's most recent Wonder Woman premium format statue.

That's cool. I like the concept. Will you be sewing it up?


I had an idea for a regency inspired wonder woman...as the regency fashions were inspired by the greek and roman classical fashions.

Oooh, I like this design a lot. I like it when people do armor without going full Dark Knight with a piece of foam for every muscle. Also, the pouches look good. I appreciate it when people work some functionality into a costume. Pockets are nice to have.

I wish I could give some advice on the boots...but I'm usually at a loss to design any kind of shoes. I usually go to a thrift store, see what I can find, and them improvise wildly.

Thanks DoU. I also don't like the armor for every single muscle either. And I definitely am a huge advocate for functionality in costumes as well. And with Booster, this allows for product endorsement items.

and with boots, i would love to get a hold of some motorcross type boots(but they are not cheap for just a costume) and recently I discovered these motorcycle boots.

That doesn't sound stupid, that sounds awesome! I would love to see that design.

Ebay. I've found very similar boots for a third of that price around there, so I highly recommend a half hour or so combing their digital shelves.

Thanks, probably won't have it done until next year have to start saving money for certain parts of it. I plan on doing a rough sketch of it, but I am not that good at drawing.

I posted this in my Reverse Flash thread but only got one answer so... View attachment 456507
Which side looks better? Two bolts or three? Or left or right, however you wanna look at it.

I with Gojira definitely three bolts.

Ooooooh, those look nice. And expensive, yeah. However...it might not be impossible to get a similar look with some kind of boot cover or spats. If you backed stretch vinyl with headliner foam or veltex, you could get a similar sort of texture and weight.

I am not a huge fan of boot covers or spats for superhero costumes. Not that they don't look good, but i would much rather get a solid boot that I just have to change the color of.

Here's the basic concept in a custom action figure I found online.
But to clarify I had this idea before I found the figure.

This is a very promising concept. I wish you all the best with it.

Thanks for the support and if you have any suggestions on the quiver and bow they are always welcomed. The other thing I have to worry about is my muscle structure hopefully I can pull it off without resorting to plastic surgery :lol
Also do you go to DragonCon? If so there is a group gathering at it this year. Look into it on this site it should be under "DragonCon Meet-Up" or something of that nature. I won't have this done by then but I will be in my Red Hood costume.

 

[BoosterGoldstar]

I am not going to Dragoncon(I live in Saskatchewan Canada and can't afford to travel due to my schooling at the moment) But I will be at Gencon as I will be working there, but probably no cosplay.
I will think about the quiver. Do you have any ideas what style you like?
