Busy with family this weekend, so I didn't get to do as much in the way of compositing and writing filecards. But here's a favourite:
Snake-Eyes
Design notes:
- The main basis for the re-design was
Snake-Eyes v1
. It's still my favourite costume design for the character, very understated but very memorable nonetheless. I added the
pinuti
short sword from the
1985 v2 Snake-Eyes
though, since it's become a hallmark of the character (click
here
to view a traditional
pinuti
sword, it's the third one from the bottom).
- The visor/balaclava combo was a little less straightforward in terms of redesigning. I wanted something that would be a combination of the goggled faceplate that the original wore and the visor worn by the 1985 version, but most contemporary tactical faceplates look like
the ones used for paintball
, and I wanted something that looked less like something a weekend warrior would wear, and more like real military gear. In the end, I went with a scaled-down version of one of the prototype helmets created by the Army's Natick Soldier Center for the Future Force Warrior program (click
here
to view the actual helmet).
