Batman Begins BEGINS Costume Sculpt...My work in progress

[darknight7]

Sorry, but none of my Bat related items are for sale.

I make them for myself only.

I'm glad I could help out David! Your suit is simply amazing! It looks even more like the REAL suit in this image!:

Hope you like it David!

Nice job Wilde, the contrast here with the logo actually looks quite good, now if only the real thing... well here's hoping.

Oh, and you've done a nice job too David

 

[Exabyte]

Well, there maybe some kind of a penilty if he were to sell it, I am not a law man my self but the WB might thing that you copied their suit and file some kind of a bull**** clame. It is always better to keep things to yourself.

I would. But I would also dress in it and run around my neighbor hood, jumping on peoples roof tops.

Yeah that site http://dullam-causey.com/gallery/view.php?action=count&path=L2JlZ2lucyBhcm1vdXIvc3VpdCBtb2NrdXAuanBn

It does sculpts of super heros, full body like wax or something, anyways, all the stuff is under licensing or something, I think Dav would get a hurt up his butt if the WB found out he sold it because of the design. Just like if I took the windows source code and re-did some of it to make it better and started selliing, I would go to jail for sure.

But man I would love to get in a suit like these. I would go out to the bars like that.

 

[Exabyte]

theres is good too.

 

[Exabyte]

these guys are building a tumbler too. geez

Hope you like it David!

Whoa... looks very legit... you could give some fanboys a heart attack if you did some creative photoshopping with your suit

Spoiler

make a fake image of Batman facing the joker, or some other wild stuff that doesnt happen in the movie... if you used photos of your sculpts people would totally believe it.

How coooooool is that!
Thanks man!

You guys with your photoshop work are making me all hyped up about my own work!!! LOL!

I really gotta work hard now as not to dissappoint anyone.

Thanks once again!

Here's my take on it... i know the symbol stinks... but i hope you like nonetheless

 

[Orlando Spider]

Hey trigulous, i know you're excited about those cowl and chest pieces... but this thread is for DAVID's work.

Would you take monet's artwork into a van gogh realm to show them off? I would hope not, it is disrespectful and steals the spotlight. Though both these guys do excellent work, let's give DAVID the spotlight in this thread.

You're always free to start another thread

 

[Infinity9999x]

hey question: how do you make suits like this and how much does it cost? I'm just wondering cuz I love all kinds of art and I'm just kinda interested in how u make these great looking costumes.

Who the hell said I was trying to steal the spot like, I was goofing around with it that is all. Disrespectful my but. Did you sculpt it?, NO! I wasn't finished with my manp yet but figured I would post it, I was using my pic to uses a s a body stance, if you can see that I am trying to cover up the whole thing....get it genius? People take other peoples stuff and mess with it all the time, where is the difference, there isn't dude.

And why start a new thread, most these threads on here (excluding this one) are very pointless. i.e. Do you guys like the name Tumbler thread, that could have been discussed in the threads about the batmobile, but that doesn't stop people from posting them now does it. Why would I contribute to it. And I feel that I don't have good reasons enough to start a thread of my own, I know most people when they get on the site just have to post a thread don't care what it is about, they just have to do it. Not me.

Sorry Dav if you got offended, that wasn't my intention.

Some of you guys need to get over yourselves and fast.

 

[Orlando Spider]

I'm not saying that YOU are stealing the spotlight for yourself bro,

the cowl and chest pieces that you are photoshopping there are made by Dullam-Causey. I'm saying you're giving them more of a spotlight than you are to David's sculpt, which this thread was created for. So far you've posted their stuff twice. Don't get too upset man, geez. As an artist myself i know sometimes i get upset when i make something for feedback on something i've done, then someone else mentions something about another persons work-- and the topic shifts. I'm just trying to prevent that same frustration for David.

Do you get it now? I'm not trying to hinder your fun, but since this is david's thread... i would try to use his cowl/chest piece INSTEAD of using the dullam-causey cowl/ and chest as you are now
THEY actually have their own threads in the product forum.

DAVID, sorry bout all this, it's just alittle misunderstanding here.

 

[DAVIDYR1]

Guys it's totally OK.

I believe in my work enough to not be worried or bothered by other examples of fine work such as theirs.

As an artist, to me it's flattering that I can even be compared to what they're doing. This is not a contest for either of us. I'm doing my work and they're doing theirs. They have a reputation to maintain and I'm just working hard to get one......that's all.

I'm sure once both our suits are done people will really start to compare them so in all honesty if I see that at the sculpting stage I'm holding my own then I know that so far I'm on the right track.

triguluous,
No worries at all buddy. Post what you like here....if anything it pushes me to work harder.

Orlando Spider,
I totally understand where you're coming from and thank you for your concern. I have no problems with any pics of other Begins suits being posted here. I've been working very hard on this suit and I feel pretty good about the work I've done so far...as a result my confidence on this particular project is pretty good. Seeing other pics of fine work does not offend or intimidate me in the least. If anything it pushes me even harder to work better.
You guys here have been exceptionally helpfull to me with your critiques. I've done my best to regularly post updates and some of you have stepped up and made suggestions on what needed to be changed, and I'll admit that sometimes they were areas that for whatever reason I had not done accurately.

I'm on many boards...and am happy to say I've made many friends in the internet world and posting here with you guys here is no different. That's why I like it here.

I respect everyone and thank everyone for continuing to post their feedback on my work.

David

David that's great to hear.

You are an excellent example of true integrity and character! Many artists with your skill don't have any close amount of humbleness and respect (when it comes to your peers) for other's work. I'm glad to see you (and the Bobs), have this smilar level of "good- sportsmanship" it's refreshing! Because, sadly i don't see that very often anymore.

I haven't been around that long, but i certainly respect you both greatly, especially now

Keep up the fantastic work, I hope to see it in person sometime! (Or own a piece maybe?)
Do you plan on producing these to sell?

Umm just askin again but to David I was wondering how you got interested in this proffession bcuz I love art and I'm very interested in how exactally make these great sculpts. Like what material and machinery, and how much it would cost. Do you draw up a skecth b4 hand? that kind of thing.

 

[Exabyte]

no problem.

How did I start?
Good Question...

Since being a kid I've always loved costumes...and always made my own for every Halloween.
In 1984 I made my first latex mask and chest appliance...Freddy Kruegar. No one believed I had made it.
That spawned interest in the Halloween world of costumers here locally....no internet back then.....and year after year I'd come up with something new and pretty radical....for back then..

Push came to shove....people asking me to make them halloween costumes or window displays with my work come halloween time....then the decision to start taking custom orders.

4 years ago I started my business and it's since expanded to include leather garments too....and soon fabrics as well.....Very exciting times for me ahead..

Drawings I always make for all my leather goods.
When working on a custom costume I usually make drawings based on what the client needs so he can approve the direction I'm looking to take with their idea.

More and more custom characters and concepts are being worked on which is a nice change from what I was doing even up to a year or so ago.
Now...fortunately, I can find the time to make costumes for myself also such as the begins suit I'm doing.

I started doing this because it evolved into something pretty big for me. I never just woke up and said "hey that would be cool to do". It was a fun hobby that started to take life on it's own and now has become my source of income.

Scared is not the way I'd define how I felt when I started this (but close enough) however I am happy to say that my wife has supported this from day one and together we've never looked back since.
I maintain that I have the best job in the world...to me at least...and that every day is full of exciting challenges.....incredible highs and terrifying lows...at the end of the day it certainly is a JOB...but one I utterly enjoy.

If you or anyone is looking to start something like this my advice is take it slow. Learn how to use materials and understand their costs. Be prepaired to make mistakes and be prepaired to have 50+ emails every single day...

To me...I'm living a dream come true.
