X-Men: Phoenix (Jean Grey) W.I.P

[Verde]

Hello everybody. I was thinking of what I should model next, and i have decided on modeling Phoenix from the X-Men. I thought it would be cool to not only get to model a prominent figure in the comic book world, like I did Spider-Man, but also to work with things such as cloth (Her belt/sash), hair and when the character is rigged and everything i can create a lot of chaos with particles and effects.

But first, I must decide on what the costume will look like as well as the character. I want to go with the original phoenix costume, but i want to make it look a lot more detailed than a spandex suit . So to begin this thread, I will post some sketches and then work my way up.

Comments and suggestions are more than welcome.

I like this design a lot. Its from Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2. I like how the tubing of the costume radiate from the Phoenix emblem. I'm going to use this as a base idea. But I want it to look better.

Hey Verde, I cant wait to see where you go with the costume. My suggestion would be to use the original colors and main symbols (phoenix on the chest, etc.) but push your own originality onto it as much as possible. Research different types of materials and try to combine multiple materials and fabrics to get a new and refreshing take on a classic costume!

Thanks Ctrl+S B4 U Save, As much as i like the Marvel ultimate alliance 2 costume I know it would be best to design the costume myself. It will be original, yet keeping the same details as the classic costume. That way it wont resemble the game and people wont think I ripped it off.
