I've done a repaint on the face and have a leather material for the cape. I've also weathered too. I have superman on the way and i'm resculpting Wonder Woman's head.
Hey, I literally used Matte instead of glossy shoe polish. Despite the fact that Cosplay Chris thought that the suit had a sheen I respectfully had to disagree, I think his mods are awesome except for the shoe polish (IMO that ruins the whole thing). I matte black dry brushed, so that the grooves were lighter than the raised sections. I also dremelled and slashed the whole thing up with a box cutter and a X-acto knife to break up patterns, the dry brushing and even the piping.
I ran over the piping with a dremel. I intend to sculpt in even more creases into his suit (using reference of course!) using milliput. I need to be super careful about maintaining the texture though.
I struggled with repainting his face. I'm still a noob at traditional media and much better at digital art.
IMO, Batfleck has too much of a beard going on to call it a five o' clock shadow and airbrush in some grey. I actually sculpted in his facial hairs with milliput and dry-brushed. TBH, I don't think I entirely exceeded but I'll keep working on it
I have a faux leather material which i intend to glue on. Cosplay Chis was hit by inspiration when he did that, I give him full props, great idea. I would have never thought of that

Meridian -- the suit looks life-like -- It actually looks like fabric! What was your repaint process?
Here's my update: just added facial stubble (sprayed acrylic matte black)

Thanks! I actually just sprayed from the can. Taped off the head to make sure there was no overspray. I made sure I sprayed not to close with clean, even strokes until I liked the appearance of stubble.
