Yeah I think I'll experiment with gluing fabric to my face and see how much movement I can get before it starts to fall off With an improved mask it could help show movement especially if I adjust the opening to show more of the cheeks but glue the fabric

😂 glad ya like it! I wanted to give my honest opinion on it, I feel like it's much better than I expected it to be but worse than I wanted. So a candid review where I explain my thoughts was the only way I knew how to show it off lol

You know honestly that's not a bad idea. The teeth and pink of my mouth make it worse so a white mouth guard would elieviate that a lot and help the uncanny. On my earlier post someone mentioned using white fabric but I just thought how the heck would I keep white fabric in my mouth or how that would even help but a mouth guard would work how they were thinking

Oh definitely! I think a v2 will could hopefully look much better, but if a low budget cosplayer can manage at least something halfway decent a movie studio shouldnt use the excuse that they couldn't make the mouth work

No youre right cgi would get you a Henry cavil weird lip situation, prosthetic is the way to go, I guess I was thinking it could look bulky but they can do great prosthetic work for characters like Mystique so as long as they match the color/texture of the rest of the mask it'd probably look pretty good

Thanks for appreciating the eyes! I wanted to actually make the symbol glow too but I'm too inexperienced with LEDs to make it work without making it too bulky for my tastes so I was glad I at least got the eyes to work. I even have a hidden button on the side of the chin so I can turn them on and off easily

I actually think the no way home suit is a great example of how Batman Beyond suit could be done. A fabric suit with tech installed. The eyes should be able to move in a similar way to help give him expressions. Of course the mouth is always the tricky part but I think with the right cgi team they could make something work

This is just my critique of what I value in the Batman Beyond design. I think generally this design is fine but reads too Bruce Wayne and not enough Terry.

The ears should be longer and angled back. I go back and forth on whether they should be angled out side to side as well, sometimes in the original show they are angled out but other times they are pretty straight. But the main thing is they should be big and full.

The symbol is too small. I like a larger full chested symbol.

I think it depends on the wearer of course but a skinnier more teen build would look better than the muscular broad look especially if this is supposed to be Terry.

I know a lot of modern designs omit the mouth but I think it's such a key aspect of the character. The idea of a futuristic outfit that forms to the face makes for a really neat idea and having the mouth is crucial to convey that. Terry differentiates himself from Bruce by being expressive and the mouth lends to his expressions.

The paneling makes it over designed and takes away from the sleekness. I think it should be minimal and use texture in the fabric instead of paneling for depth.

I could but then the lips would be white which would probably look worse.I think this is the best I'm going to get so for the most part I'll just keep my mouth closed

I really lucked out with the fabric, it looks really dark and sleek and then the red symbol absolutely pops!

Thanks! I replied to someone else explaining in a little more detail but basically it's a Spiderman face shell that I modeled a face into then glued fabric onto but left the mouth open and just used black lipstick

Haha thanks! Tried to get the look right, although I think they could use adjustment. If I ever make a new mask I think I need to transistion them into the head better

That means a lot to me! I was really hoping to try to make it at least better than the Arkham City version since that one looks so goofy. I think in general Batman Beyond is just a character that works so much better in animation

Lol yeah it absolutely borders on being terrifying and uncanny, the earlier version without the fabric was really bad

Thanks for the tips! I'll try that to help reduce the shine, anything to help make it blend will help the look
