KA. Posted January 29, 2004 Report Share Posted January 29, 2004 Sketchpad, I doubt if you read my post, but your rendition is exactly the kind of thing I was talking about. Good Job! KA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allensh Posted January 29, 2004 Report Share Posted January 29, 2004 Originally posted by Ben Seeman See, I just don't get that. I think that's the best part of his costume. Why does no one find anything wrong with Batman's big ass ears sticking up? because they're just ears. They don't look like he has a chicken on his head. Now, if you made the hood black but had just a stylised beak on front, it would still look birdlike but not like he has two sets of eyes. or make the hood cowllike and have the beak (still black) come off his nose. The rest of the costume is just fine. Edit: Sketchpad's look is EXACTLY what I was thinking of! Now that's a Nighthawk to be feared!

KA. Posted January 29, 2004 Report Share Posted January 29, 2004 Ben, With the utmost respect for both your position and abilites, you are starting to sound like "Count Floyd" on SCTV. For those of you too young to remember, Count Floyd was the host of a late-night horror movie show on a no-budget television station. Count Floyd would come on, dressed as a vampire, to host "Monster Chiller Horror Theatre", but instead of the horror films he expected, he often got stuck hosting something like "Four for Texas" starring The Rat Pack. Then he would try to make whatever turkey (pardon the expression;)) he got stuck with, sound scary to the viewers. "This movie stars "The Rat Pack". Ooooohh, Rats. A whole pack of them! That's really Scary!" KA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wcw43921 Posted January 29, 2004 Report Share Posted January 29, 2004 Originally posted by BishopofB&W There are a couple of changes I would make. First, change the silver to a darker gunmetal. He is supposed to sneak around, after all. Second, I wouldn't make it so obvious where his eyes are. Instead I would make the cowl so that it would look like he was seeing out of the birdseyes. Much more totemic and intimidating, IMO. I'm thinking of Anubis and the Horus guards in the Stargate movie. Just don't give him bird feet. I agree--it's the four-eyed look that puts me off about that costume; either lose the headpiece altogether (replace it with some sort of metallic hawk-emblem on the forehead or covering the face) or pull it down so that he's seeing out of the hawk's eyes, like the Bishop said.

Kristopher Posted January 29, 2004 Report Share Posted January 29, 2004 Originally posted by Chuckg Grandfather clause. Which Nighthawk doesn't have. (Heck, if it weren't for the fact that the costume was around before most of us were born, we'd think Superman dressed funny too. But it's a classic character, so we all deliberately not notice.) Superman _does_ dress funny. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had actually made that one after talking about 'Hawk's costume on a different thread ... I've got a full body shot that I may UL a bit later as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
