Re: Kreator's Arkham Asylum inspired suit!
I was just looking back through some of the photos from the other night and I kind of like this look by itself, not necessarily as an Arkham Asylum look, but just in a general rubberized comic look, so I figured I'd post it.
This is without the AA seam/rivet/emblem pencil lines enhanced in Photoshop (you can still sort of see them drawn on the armor) but I tried it with a Returns emblem. I just wish the neck piece was lined up properly.

Re: Kreator's Arkham Asylum inspired suit!
Just curious... Because I've worked for GameStop off and on since it was Funcoland in 2000... How is this guy you know the owner? They don't franchise. All stores are corperate run. You sure he's not just the store manager or a DM who uses that store as his home store?

Re: Kreator's Arkham Asylum inspired suit!
You're right, she's actually the manager. I wasn't sure exactly as my main contact with them so far has been through my friend who owns the local comic shop in town and organizes most of the charity events I participate in. He had mentioned her as "owner" before, which I thought was odd since I didn't think they franchised, but he clarified that she is the manager. 
Oddly enough, she told him yesterday evening that the game's release was pushed back to Sept. 8th. I disputed this because nowhere online has it listed any different than Aug. 25th, and I assume when the official demo came out and has that date plastered throughout, it's a firm date. Even GameStop's web site still has Aug. 25th, so I don't know where she got her info on the delay unless they plan to announce it all over the internet today. I just don't see that happening this close to release and not a single mention of a new delay anywhere online. (As of last night at least, haven't looked again today.)

Re: Kreator's Arkham Asylum inspired suit!
No worries, she admitted today that she was ill informed and the date has not changed, as I suspected.
Yes!

Re: Kreator's Arkham Asylum suit! (New torso pic!)
Been working on my suit all day, and unfortunately didn't realize how late it is... or early... 4:30am... I've got to be at work in 4 hours. Ugh...
Anyway, here's a quick "teaser" pic of the torso piece finally painted up with emblem applied:
A few quick notes about how it went from the earlier pics to this -- Started as a generic latex muscle torso with black plasti-dip coating. I then added a couple thin layers of primer. Next, drew on the "seams" with a permanent marker. Then I sprayed a very thin layer of a flat gray (darker than the primer), then a couple accent layers of flat black on the edges faded in, and then up-sprayed to darken shadow areas. Next, I inserted the screws with nuts on the back. Finally, the "fabric" texture / diamond pattern was drawn on with a soft pencil. I think that turned out pretty awesome. Basically just freehand cross hatching.
For the emblem, I drew half the bat on paper as a template, tested on the torso, then trimmed it out of a soft pleather. Permanent spray adhesive on the back, then carefully smoothed down to the torso.
Lots more done, (Arkham Asylum styled glove armor and fins!) but I need to get some sleep. Full suit up pics tomorrow evening!
