Started a side project recently and thought a few people mite be interested. It's for the sometimes under appreciated Goon/Henchmen of our more popular villains, in this case the Joker Goons from Batman movie (1989).
Here's some of the images I'm was working from:
Then I came across these:
I was pretty happy with the reference pics I had but the detail on patches would be pretty hard to replicate without a total rework of image, I did however manage to find the below image and did some colour touch for circle patch:
I also saw mention on the net that the card patch looked like the card on the back cover of "The Killing Joke" so I sourced the below image:
I edited the below images to better match the jacket patches, this included colour touch and increasing size/dpi (a suggestion from a printer was a minimum of 250dpi for printed patches) which in turn meant sharpening image and recolouring to remove blurring. End results of both of my work look like this:
The end product from printer came out like this:
Card patch measures 100mm by 70mm and circle patch is 100mm in diameter, honestly I'm pretty happy with how they came out.
The jacket itself is currently being produced in leather with removable lining and faux fur collar. Leather colour same from producer looks like this:
I also have a pair of black leather fingerless gloves on way and already own the black fatigues and black army boots, I'm still tossing up whether to wear a hat and if so what hat and what to wear as a shirt.
