Advice on comic book suits!
Hello, citizens of the comicwriting Reddit! I am seeking some advice on writing/crafting a superhero suit for an upcoming project that I am in love with!
I sometimes look at some of my favorite superhero suits out there, and for some reason, I can’t understand how somebody just decided, “This character is going to look like this!” and created generational suits that are AMAZING and unique. Maybe it’s me being uncreative but I can never storm up a suit this peak, but maybe somebody can give me some insight into what they do or things I can do so that the process can feel more natural!
I try to make superhero suits, and I notice that I try too hard to make them too “different,” to the point where they sort of don’t make sense for the character, if you get what I’m saying…
I have a passion for edgier superhero suits, like the ones shown, since my story is more edgy… sorta.
I want my suits to be unique but still have the fundamentals of a superhero suit present. It’s kind of hard to explore when you don’t have an artist and are just relying on text and references.
To give myself some credit, I am AMAZING at creating heroes under the mask (hair color, accents, personality, race, etc) but when it comes to suits I struggle.
