This Is The Captain

[bliumchik]

I did it.


Behold, Captain Oblivious!

First I figured I'd go for bright obnoxious colours and a strange fashion sense.


That one wasn't heroic enough although tail coat = win, so...


It's a bit seventies :P I love the O, but orange or not it's still too... smooth. I wanted something a little more chaotic. This can be Silver Age Captain Oblivious!



There are jeans, the boots don't match and the glasses over the mask made me giggle (because I would totally do that. Fuck contacts!) but it's still colour coordinated, and no hat! So I shrank the boots to show the jeans length and mismatched the gloves and the tunic ran in the wash, and of course, hat. Add one souped-up baseball bat and... voila!






PS: After all that I kinda wanted a picture of myself as a cool superhero, the kind I'd totally never be.



Call it my evil twin.

I'm impressed with the relatively-slender male physique -- the Heromachine (http://www.ugo.com/channels/comics/heromachine2/heroMachine2.asp) had only three builds, but they were superheroic, gargantuan and dwarf. (Though they also have those three for females, too.)

And yeah, colo(u)r wheel aside, the problem isn't as much being able to pick a color as it is me being capable of discerning it. If left to my own devices to choose a skintone, the results are occasionally...comical. Well, to everyone else, at least.
