Super Heroes!

Just finished 4 of these suits for an Intel event! Here they are being modeled by my boyfriend and myself. They wanted general sizes - they'll look more appropriate on the models! I used a pattern for the suits but I had to create my own for the balaclavas, capes, gloves and boot covers, as well as the circuit pattern cut-outs. It was a huge challenge. My spandex order ($300 worth!) was late in arriving from New York so I only had two weeks to pull it all together!
It was also my first time working with EVA foam for the chest pieces. I'm very excited about the potential of this new-to-me medium! There are lots of tutorials online thanks to the generosity of cosplayers everywhere. The results were not as smooth as I'd hoped, but I was pleased at my first attempt and can't wait to try it out again!
