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.

You know, I really do like that first one. Maybe it's the stripes, or maybe it is that win!tail coat. But it seems perfectly plausible to me. Actually, they all look great, I think -- though the cleaver's a great touch. The finished version of Captain O -- with or without uber-bat -- with the red/black gloves, still nine kinds'a cute. And the Evil!twin reminds me a lot of Wonderella for some reason. (I imagine her not using the staff as an actual staff but as a very long stick for poking things very gently.)

Dammit, I'm gonna have to do this, now, aren't I?

Actually, I like the first one the best... bow tie, tail coat, spectacles, book... Mmmm...

*needs a lie-down now*

Is that a "clue-stick" she's wielding?
