henry recommend looking up Bruce lee flexing so i get i better idea of how to do the muscles in the sides under the arms and the back. this was useful as he has well tones muscles i can see better how each muscle curves and where they should be in the body.
Some images of jay cutler
since my character is superhero who bases his alter ego around fast food i though i would look at some mascots for fast food restaurants to get an idea of what style to go with and mix with superhero costumes.
Some superhero costumes that are similar to what i have in mind, going for more of a grounded city level superhero that’s more muscle and weapons based
burger transformer i got recommended to look up by classmate
All the reference images i got of superhero’s and other characters are here because they got a similar theming, body type or have a costume/ weaponry and gadgets to what i’m looking to include. some things i was keeping an eye our for is capes because i want to include a cape that resemble lettuce, gloves, utility belt, shields, a costume that could be made using assessable materials (so not titian or anything sci-fi), broad chest/ shoulders and smaller but still somewhat muscular legs to contrast the bulky upper body.
using this to see how others stylise muscular body types
though it would be funny to get some reference images of real life “superheros”
Phoenix is probably the most famous real life superhero
included rea life “super hero” to see what is attainable for costumes by “normal” people and see what people would priorities like looks or functionality, it’s turns out to be looks with some armor mostly being chest projection (with built in muscles) or a helmet and goggles.
Fast food restaurant uniforms could help with coming up with a citizen attire for my character
for uniforms i was looking to see colour schemes and designs as i was thinking of having the superhero costume be a mix between i standard superhero getup mixed with what you’d expect to see someone wearing in McDonalds or something.
references of burgers and fast food restaurant related items
(kinda hungry now)
gathered these images to get a colour pallet made and try and come up with a pallet that’ll make people hungry(for burgers) just by seeing it.
this images are for what items i can give my character and what kind of functions they can serve like spatula sword or a tray as a shield, burger box handcuffs maybe and mustard and ketchup that can be shot from my characters wriest like spider-mans web shooters.
needed a reference for how to make a holster to hold the sauces
need to see how shields hands go around the arm.
Colour palette
Some AI generated images i got using the new Bing AI image generator
i like how the how the AI came up with a helmet that resembles the bap of a burger, i originally planned to give my character a bowl cut but didn’t really look heroic so i scrapped that idea but i really like the burger helmet especially the one with lettuce around the sides, i also planned to have the spatula be normal sized but i kinda like the oversized spatula.
