New figure project- "Nexus Runner" -[Rep-Detect Deckard]

[Mr.E]

The blazer is a rusty brownish color, as you said Scott. I'm sure you're aware of this already, but the photos of the costumes when they were on display for auction, clearly show how faded they've become. The shirt coloration also has faded drastically. Ive attached a few pics in case you need em.

In this first pic, you can see the coloration of the upper half of the shirt:

It appears to be much browner originally. Also If you've got access to the BR dvd, the documentary "Dangerous Days" and some of the supplemental vintage documentaries on the 5 Disc set, it shows Harrison on set with Ridley, mainly rehearsing the fight with Leon, but the lighting is fairly clear, and you can see the shirt without either of the jackets on.

Also If you take a look at pics of the old Android Hunter figure, they got the color of the blazer pretty close (although the texture fabric is completely wrong, as it should have a "Herringbone Weave" to it).

Heres a pic of the Android Hunter:

Pretty close in color as you can see. Also take note of the properly scaled ribbed collar due to the corduroy material used. Although the collar itself is WAAAY too big.

I wouldn't really trust any production images or screen grabs from the movie as the lighting and grading will have a big impact on the original colors and tones . These images below seem the most neutral lit references. I think a happy medium between these different pictures of the blazer and coat would be just fine

maybe something more like this for the end result though the shirt and tie I couldn't seem to falter. Maybe the red stripes should be a bit lighter.

 

[Mr.E]

As close to screen accurate as possible.

Great guys! That is really helpful.

I like the color manipulation you did zenonithus.
I will pass it along to the tailor for the suit jacket color.
The color of the trench coat in your manipulation is fairly close to what the actual color of the proto is. (It just looks darker in my pictures because of the lighting etc.)

I will have the shirt darkened a bit as well. Although I think in the above pictures it is looking a little too brown...
so to simplify....

From these 2 images- which color combo do you prefer?

A. Bluegreen/ Wine:

B. Darker Blue/ Plum:

Whichever image you guys decide on will go to the tailor.

Thanks- S.

 

[Mr.E]

If it looks like the one on the bottom, I'll be satisfied. As long is its not Christmas Green and red!

 

[marker2037]

I like the bottom one too, but I already think the shirt is good enough.

 

[stshammgod]

That bottom pic is a bit washed out overall, but I think our mental images of Deckard don't have him wearing anything TOO saturated or colorful. I don't know if I've helped or not.... LOL

 

[Mr.E]

The shirt as shown in the single prototype photo, looks like the one that was in a private collection at one time or another. It's faded.

 

[zenonithus]

Not sure about image B. It's definitely more of a turquoise blue. I color corrected this image to what I feel is more close to what it would have been (pre-faded)

Hey Scott when are you going to show some more pics? I think it would be a little easier for the experts here to figure out what details might need tweaking if we saw full pics.
