You may have seen our Deadpool suits before, if not I'll do a run down. Our current versions can be found on www.costumereplicacave.etsy.com and suits/clients at www.facebook.com/CostumeReplicaCave

Our original suits were done in leather, this had a few down sides, heat, inaccurate pattern and suits couldn't be to tight or else people couldn't move.

We moved on to cordura, these had a more accurate pattern, they were fairly cool and we mixed in some stretch to give a better fit, we did a grey X-Force version as well. We offered weathering on these to make them more accurate, but some of our clients like Left Coast Avengers did stunning jobs far past our teams skills.

From there we moved onto patterned stretch, this allowed us to custom dye and had a pattern that looked very close to movie. These stretch used is thicker than morph suit stretch and we offer these weathered. We provided ilustrastudios material so they could make matching masks,

Always looking to improve we've moved onto screen printed stretch materials, we've trial silicone and originally did it raised, we weren't happy with that, so we've trialed a non raised version and some high density ink. Here are some of the reference shots we used.

Results so far, these are to be weathered to see which comes up the most accurate when compared to reference.

I'll post up the weathered versions of these and prototype suits, we may also offer these up as a run.

Looks nice, is this the same material IllustraStudios uses on their movie mask? It looks similar.

We developed this material, so it might be similar but it is ours, we will be sending some to ilustrastudios for masks tho.

Here's some weathering tests.

your doing a possible run of the suits or the fabric? id be interested in fabric if that was the case
 
Re: Deadpool Movie Costume (V4 by Costume Replica Cave with red screenprinted stretch

Instead of silicone on the fabric; seems like you could just screen print a raised pattern. Isn't that how the original and El Fetts suits are done?

We'll be doing suits, we haven't yet decided if we will offer material up for sale.

Original trial was a screen printed silicone, it was a fair bit more raised (see below).

In next test we used some thinner silicone layers and high density ink, so screen printing has been part of this process the whole time.

Why use silicone at all? Innacurate to the real material.
Russ Shinkle at Film Illusions made the costumes.. perhaps an email to him could answer some questions and help you out.

That's what I was alluding to in my post. Nothing wants to stick to silicone, seems easier and more accurate to just use screen printing inks. T-shirts at stores have raised screen printed logos so it's possible without having to use silicone.

Current preferred is an ink..

Thanks for info on Russ. Silicone was an original test, was to raised and probably a little tacky, ink is the preferred.

ilustrastudios is working away on shoulder sculpt at moment and I think it's coming up a treat.

Very nice, how'd you pull it off?
Not looking for you to reveal your secrets, as a interested buyer I'm wondering what the material is or how'd it feel.

Material is a pretty standard stock standard lycra (thicker than bike short kinda of stuff) with a high density ink, which gives it a very smooth feel, almost as if it has no print on it.
