The Flash vs. Zoom

Here's a first anigswes costume battle!

Two costumes, two characters, two primary colors- which one do you like better??

Green Lantern Meets Blue Lantern

Oh, what a bad blogger I've been!

Tsk tsk to me. 

Don't worry, lots of fun stuff in store in the next few weeks. I am hard at work on orders for Halloween and New York Comic Con (Alpha Flight)- AND there will be a awesome new webstore opening- so stay tuned!

Onto this week's entry:

Green Lantern Blue Lantern combo:

Custom Orange Lantern

I've done some Orange Lantern-inspired designs in the past, but this one is very fun, because it includes the awesome Kyle Rayner-esque sleeve details.

And you may be asking who is the awesome guy who conceived such an great design, and it modeling it so nicely?

None other than the man behind Comicbooked!

Seriously, check it out.

Batgirl Stephanie Brown Hoodie

Just a quickie this week. 

Every once in a blue moon I get to make something for myself to keep. I've had so much fun working on  this Batgirl costume, I thought it would make a great hoodie. It was also a fun way to experiment with the glow in the dark fabric.

It's simple, purple ribbed side panels and glow in the dark symbol and bat ears.

Those it's been largely too hot to wear it!

To all those who will be attending SDCC next week have a blast and I wanna see pictures!

Green Lantern Movie Jacket

I was asked to design this jacket inspired by Hal's costume from the Green Lantern movie.

This idea seemed totally daunting to me at first, mostly because the costume doesn't really exist! Oh CGI movies! How is an actor supposed to play a superhero without the costume??

 Ryan Reynolds has nothing on you!

 With some thought I came up with this jacket that I (and the wearer- who looks awesome!) enjoyed. As you can see there is a lot of detailed stitching on the jacket, which is stitched with glow in the dark thread for maximum awesomeness.

Red Lantern Guy Gardner

"Red Guy" has been getting a lot of chatter lately, so here it is!

Updated: Halloween 2011. Lantern party! Next year gents I'm makin all the outfits!

Owlman

Going the criminal route this week!

And the criminally adorable!

This character was a challenge to turn into a hoodie, but I quite liked what I came up with.

A certain Mr. C had the idea to use the owl face as the center chest symbol, as well as the yellow eyes which I love because it is so striking.

Check out photos of the hood and production after the break.

Impulse

In honor of Smallville's last episode, I'm putting up this Impulse vest this week!

I'm seein' red!

 The back.....

Yellow Lantern Scarecrow

 That title is way too long, so I've been saying "Scare-tro" or "Sines-crow" cuz' I'm hella clever. 

WonderCon fun!

Me-ow!

All you WonderCon attendees be on the lookout for this monster and snag some pics for me! (I doubt the pooch will be at the con.)

Green Lantern with EL Wire

No photoshopping or special effects in these photos. It's all the EL Wire.

On.

Off.

On. 

You get the idea......

Batgirl: Stephanie Brown

There are many incarnations of Batgirl, and this is the latest as worn by character Stephanie (I know she's had some tough storylines, now let her enjoy this costume) Brown!

I was asked to make the cape, bodysuit and utility belts. (you can never have enough pockets!!)

The Bodysuit:

 

 Since this bodysuit has  those purple side panels I was able to eliminate the side seams that would typically be there. 

Booster Gold Costume

UPDATE: NEW PICS!

I love the Booster Gold design, so after making the jacket, I was looking forward to making the entire costume.

Hell yeah, lookin' awesome!

Blue Beetle

A brief entry this week- some detail shots of the Blue Beetle jacket.

Booster Gold

Booster Gold. I wanted to make this design for years!

Here is it- finally in all it's blue and gold glory at Fan Expo.

Orange Lantern

Finally, Orange Lantern!

Larfleeze translated into a pullover. I've been wanting to do this design for sometime. I searched for awhile for an orange that I liked, and I finally found this.

Plastic Man

Latest project: Plastic Man

Plastic Man in Jacket form.

Guy Gardner

Oh, I've been gone for awhile- but not due to loafing- been busy! So, here's a project that I was sure to make at some point in time. Guy Gardner.

You know what old bowl-cut looks like:

You know he's got an interesting wardrobe. This is what I was what I was able to do with it:

Kyle Rayner Strikes Again

Happy New Year! Before I get to Kyle, I just wanted to say it's coming up one year of this blog.  I already have a lot of fun things in the pipeline for this year- so thanks for looking, hope you enjoy!

Once I began learning about Kyle Rayner, I immediately became enamored with this version of the costume and just needed an excuse to make it.

  Luckily, my pal Ryan gave me such an excuse.

Cool, no?

A Funny Little Thing Between the Bat and the Cat

This month I will be taking a break from my typical and much-loved superhero clothes to work on outfitting five local actors for the town's reading of "A Christmas Carol". Tomorrow I am doing a fitting and should have some progress photos shortly.

In the meantime here is something I found greatly amusing.

Yes, this is real. This is from Batman #1 in 1940. The Bat has just deduced that the jewel thief was none other than Catwoman disguised as an old lady, and is exposing her.  Apparently  Batman had a slightly different approach to crime back in the day.......I found this while perusing the local library I found this in a collection of Catwoman comics.

I just thought that this was so bizarre that it required sharing. Enjoy!

Sinestro Pullover

I think the word you're looking for is "kick-ass".
