I had to tackle yet another iconic 60s-70s big and bold comics superstar, this time the original Vision! As based on the famed Avenger (created by Roy Thomas), here is the sensational synthezoid as he was meant to look! Click images below to enlarge and enjoy!
 |
| Above: The finished cosplay! Read along below to see how I assembled this colossal comics costume!  |
 |
| Above six images: Using a basic red "blank face" plastic mask, I then detailed it with various "techno" motifs, evoking curcuit boards and wiring. I then added some flexible rubber liner in the eye areas...Added a plastic yellow "gem..." |
 |
| Above two images: Using a template for creating a heat-formed, foam-made neck appliance, I figured out the final neck collar look by adding a modified dress shirt collar to the neck structure...Then came the tons of fabric stiffener and gold spray paint (and spray gloss sealants).. |
 |
| Above three images: The assembled collar carefully placed and velcro-ed to the bodysuit! |
 |
| Above two images: I found the diaphanous cape online, and liked the fact that it came with an attached hood (enabling me to give the Vision a "hooded wraith" kinda vibe)! After much trial-and-error, I was able to get the cape to work with the collar... |
 |
| Above: Finding the perfect gloves, I continued the "circuitry tech" to portions of the palms and reverse side... |
 |
| Above: My design for the bodysuit, again using the repeating circuitry pattern, combined with the traditional comics look for the character! |
 |
| Above: The full look! Adding boots and belt (and a thick neck chain), the overall vibe really works! |
