Hey everyone I'm new to the site, I've gone through tons of concepts for my costume and have come to a conclusion of what i want. I was wondering if anyone could suggest any ways of making this costume. What fabrics? What could be added in terms of protection? Opinions? Comments? Any help is appreciated. I do know how to sew (though I'm not to good).

This looks like you designed it to be streamlined built for freedom of movement, so i would recommend that you get an undercover bullet proof vest, as some are less bulky and may allow more movement...

For gloves, i would recommend these, or any like them --> http://www.polimil.co.uk/acatalog/Hatch_-_Reactor_RHK.html

I would speak to Jack, about the mask or maybe Z, Z can be found on myspace and Jack.... well, everywhere else lol, including this Forum,

The actual outfit, I would proabley speak to jack about what materials to use, im no good in that area lol,

Im not too sure about the fabric/belt, I dont understand how that sort of fabric/belt would hold up a pouch that has a number of items in it, unless you have a belt underneath the fabric and clip it onto that.

If you are the crime-fighting type who goes out at night, then I would suggest longer sleeves depending on how cold it is, probabley have two versions, one with short sleeves and one with long so you can chooses which to wear befor a patrol..

Apart from that, I like the look of your outfit, looks brill

Renegade, may I ask a question?

What software or website did you use to design that uniform? I'm looking to do something similar myself.

Thanks Vague! I'll definately look into it and try and get a hold of them:) and I used Heromachine. There are different versions of heromachine; like zombie mode, rock star mode, real life mode, classic edition, heromachine 2.5, and pin-up edition. I recommend Heromachine 3 Alpha. You don't have to download anything its pretty much just a game. You can make up whatever fantasy or reality character you can think up of! heres the link: http://www.heromachine.com/

Thank you very much Renegade, that’s a big help.

I also like your uniform design; I forgot to mention that in my earlier post. It sort of reminds me of Deadpool from the Marvel Universe. It's a very good look, and the colour scheme is very invocative.

I like it.

Thanks Blur and Dr.Mandible!!

Looks great! All it lacks is a big "#" over your face

Looks good, although I have never been a big fan of lines being the only color change on a suit. I get a lot of requests like that though. One of these days I am going to have to buy a screen printing press so I can do designs like that.

I dont do any sewing I just throw together an old jumpsuit and a vest with my mask My touqe gloves and boot designs depend on the time of year Winter I wear insulated Rubber Steel toe boots Spring I wear rubber Steel toe boots summer I go with either the Rubber Boots if its raining or flooded or the leather steel toe biker boots The gloves are bigger in the winter and spring than the ones I wear in the summer same with the touqe with the pull over that I wear

!- if it's like that that... then I get to be "@*"......

I kinda agree with Raz, lines don't do it for me. I like logos, I like tri-color and I like having functional places to put things. I don't know, maybe it's just me...... but I can't help bit think about those campy one shot villains from the 70's when I see costumes like this (basic one color broken by lines or boots/gloves being the only other color)

what's the outfit symbolize? what image are you trying to invoke when people first see you?

like I said, probly just me....

*note; this is in no way intende as rude or anything like that. just offering my point of view, hope it's helpful

Same here Polarman, I suck mucho testicos at sewing. As for a symbol, I'm really not trying to invoke anything too much. I want to stand for something yes. I do like complex and interesting uniforms, but also feel more so for the simple costumes. I think its kinda bad-ass. Still variations can be made:P

Heres a redo (I accidently posted this on the Blur's thread) but here it is:

I will lok for the figure tonight Renegade and see if I can send you a picture of it

Yeah in case you haven't noticed I make all the ones I make in Hero machines
and Ren I looked through your gallery, those all look very cool maybe you could try your hand at mine? see what you could come up with

I'd lose the Sash (except on your dress uniform) as it's just something for someone to grab a hold of.

Is this the same Renagade with the Blue & black Gimmick?

actually there was a sash on the old design, the thing your using for a belt
