Feedback Please: Man of Steel
At the request of a friend, I am working on a Superman costume from the Man of Steel movie. I would like some feedback and suggestions. (I'm colorblind, so sometimes that presents a challenge...)
Here's a comparison shot from the movie:
A couple of things I notice right off the bat:
* The toe texture is visible! D'oh! I used the wrong overlay. I can easily fix that.
* Some of the colors seem to "bright", especially the boots. I plan to desaturate them a bit, and darken them. Maybe add a little texture.
* The grey parts (like the belt/hips area) are way off. The shape is close, I think, but the color/contrast is awful. They need to be darker, and the highlight/shadows are just terrible. It needs some major work. They need to look more metallic, and be a bit thinner.
* I feel like the overall mesh/scale texture is too large. I want to shrink it a bit, but I'm afraid it will be barely noticeable at that point, especially when zoomed out.
Anyway. What do you think, and what suggestions would you have for me? (NOTE: I'm just talking about the costume itself, not his face or whatever.)
Thanks in advance!
