The Dark Knight Rises The TDKR Batsuit Discussion Thread VI

[Gianakin_]

The only part I like are the arms I guess...

Agreed.

 

[the dmg]

It's not 100% but I'm too lazy to add the finishing touches. I'd like to modify the abdominal area some other time so the suit can be better armored.

Nice work Mister Meddle. I still think using Tron's outfit is the wrong way to go. Sam Flynn's seems like the better route to take. Still, great work.

 

[DaRkVeNgeanCe]

That is awesome work but now it sort of reminds me of Darth Vader a bit for some reason.

Heh. I think that's case-closed. That looks like the TDK suit with the armor part either partially removed, or scrambled so that there are huge gaps. It leaves exposed the most vulnerable part of the abdomen.

Good manip. What is the opposite of "proof of concept"?

[Mister Meddle]

Yeah it's hard to make the suit look completely original. I had to get the essential elements, such as the cowl, utility belt, emblem, gauntlets and cape from TDK and BB costumes.

Yeah, doesnt matter what you do, either it looks too similar or nothing like it.
You did a great work with the manip imo.

 

[meee]

Yeah, I know.

That's why I said the Tron suits look MORE like rubber than the TDK suit does.

12 words. That's all. In English.

[.:TheDarkKnight]

I wonder how realistic the possibilities are that we see a new suit... I'd assume since there's been so much flak about it we'll see a new one.

 

[Hotwire]

To those wanting some sort of spandex-like material to stretch over the pads, do you guys have any idea what it would look like? Or how it would work?

Just look at a cop. They wear bulletproof vests under their shirts.

He said it's a work in progress.

 

[KneelBeforeZod]

I heard him. Like I said -- it is a good manip, but I don't think concept works. If you armor that suit up right, it'll just be the TDK suit again -- which is fine, but defeats the purpose of using the Tron suit at all.

The problem with Tron manipulations is that the idea isn't just to take a Tron suit and slap Batman elements on top--that just looks weird, as we see above. It's the concept we're after; the suit would take the same approach as the Tron suit, but obviously with a different pattern that better suits Batman.

Exactly.

Still, it's great to see manips of something else besides the TDK suit.

 

[BatScot]

Just a very quick one. I merged TDK suit and this one, and i couldnt find a decent cape, so it really looks like somethings missing.They're all little details really, so it might be just a small diference.

Not really what i was looking for, ubt should give you guys a basic idea of how it would look like.

First, let me just say that I appreciate your manip abilities; quite cleanly done. But as far as the concept goes this is just the TDK suit with an H.R. Giger like twist. That could work in a wraith/creature way (assuming you didn't let it get out of hand) but here we're seeing the worst parts of the TDK suit being replicated in a not all that different way. Keep at it; I'd be interested to see what you come up with when you find what you're really looking for.

 

[Saint]

Exactly.

Agreed.

That's interesting. Still a little busy in the abdomen as you say, but different enough from TDK to seem as something other. The chest is an improvement, though not quite there... and you need to lose the finger bones on the left hand

 

[the dmg]

Agreed.

Very refreshing.

I love that those suits are more streamlined and form fitting.

 

[D.P.]

The Tron manips could use work, but already look much better than the TDK suit IMO.

Looks form-fitting and sleeker without sacrificing the illusion of armor. The lines/segments just need to be rearranged.

Anyway, to contribute to the thread/discussion:

[BatScot]

Yikes!

 

[DaRkVeNgeanCe]

No thanks to that, great art but that suit is bleh.

MEETS...

 

[D.P.]

Someone should manip the armor placement of the art I posted onto the Tron suit. Might work.

This could actually be pretty bad ass. I'd like to see a real version of it.

 

[Godzilla2014]

MEETS...

I can't see the second picture.

 

[Mister Meddle]

It looks a lot like that one TDK Rises fan made suit. It's the very bulky Halo styled one with the golden emblem on the pecks and both shoulders.

I can't see the second picture.

Same here.
