Artist's Comments

I'm making the belt/harness for my friend Adam's FX costume. The belt is basically a re imagining of the 80s Cyclops belt with the overall costume being a mix of the movie and Ultimate X-Men versions of the character.

This is a test piece for the belt buckle cover where I'm trying to decide which texturing I like, whether I want to black line the final product, and which dye/paint I like better for the yellow.

Oh, and I only messed up one stitch on the whole thing, so this is possibly some of my cleanest sewing ever.

That is a very awesome first draft, man.

I'm still undecided about which texture to use though.

I do know I like the dye better than the paint even though it's darker... it's got a cleaner look (aside from the sloppy spots where I wasn't being careful at all and the black got dragged up onto it... that's why light colors are supposed to go on FIRST when dyeing leather), and that I will definitely be blacklining it because the blacklining makes the colors pop more.

Then I have to make a smaller one for the chest strap where it breaks off into that "Y" shape.

Hopefully he finishes the visor soon, FX is in less than three weeks and I still don't know the size for the pouches.

I'd probably cut out the red areas and underlay a piece of red plastic or smooth leather. Especially if it's a piece that won't be bent much.

I look forward to seeing the finished products.

Looks cool - less keen on the bobbly-red than the smoother style... remember to take pics of his finished costume, so we can see it!! :-)

Hmmm...I like the bumby texture with the black line on the darker yellow, the yellow on the left. So that's my :twocents: :D
