Comic Book Armors and Battle Suits

[DerylWingate]

This is a place where I will make Mech Suits of Armor for Various Superheros. I've started with DC and I'm working my way up. Please free to display your own Armor's and Battle Suit creations. Also feel free to Critique and add you comments and opinions on the Armor's and Battle suits presented.

For this concept, I was thinking that superman had to overcome Kryptonite once Lex Luthor found a large amount of it. From the Superman Animated series superman goes into a suite. He also has a space suite. I figure that in the Justice League, batman would help him create a better and cooler looking suit. So the idea of Superman's Armor Battle suit.

In this concept I looked up Several different comic book, cartoon and toy pic's. I picked these Pictures to create Superman's Suit.



When I combined everything that looked and worked great I came up with the below Drawing:



Here is how I designed the battle suit and what I used including two other pictures.

Nice! Looks very imposing. Would like to see it in color.

Finished the new battle suit in color:

Basically I took my drawing and went in photoshop and colored in all the areas in straight colors. Then I shadowed and lightened some areas using black and white brushes on 2,3 and 5 flow. I also used water and metal textueres to overlap onto certain areas then shadowed and lighted in what I needed it to look like. I used multiply on the textured layers with metal and water. Supermans S is purley white that I lighted up with a flow of 1 or 2 sometimes 3.

Took the coloring, shadowing, lighting and added more metal, plastic and other textures to the drawing. Also changed some of the lights colors a little and also toned down some lights, I took photos and pictures from toys, models and also added them into the realistic picture of Superman's Armor Suit.

The way I put together the realistic look is put together many pictures from toys, figures and models before I added the shadow and lighting to it.

And I also came up with a open mask version using christoper Reeves Photo and the using the open mask Iron man toy as a guide:

[DerylWingate]

Heres how the two pictures look side by side. Notice that I made the open mask as close to the original picture as possible with the same lighting and shadowing to be as realistic as possible.

I Decided to do wonderwoman Next and create Battle armor suit.
This was hard because there are not any wonder woman mechanized or armored suits. The closet I could find was an Iron Woman costume that I basically used to create the wonder woman Armor Battle Suit.
