Today I worked on the next suit that will be included in the mega fan art which is the Noir Suit!
This is the source image that I used:

The pose that I had with this suit was meant to show stealth and silence. So to achieve this I chose to do the classic perched on a ledge pose… With a twist.

This is the base idea that I had. However, instead of handing the feet together, I chose to spread them apart to make the pose seem more comfortable.
The challenge that I faced with this suit is the whole color scheme. The suit is basically all black and I had to use a variety of texture overlays in order to make the different parts of the suit stand out. As you can see in the reference image of the noir suit; there is a cloth based portion and a more leather part. These two actually greatly differ in tone while still being greyscale.
This difference is one that I understood very early in the process of making this image. The source image, wasn’t the only one used however.

This image was heavily used for the finer details of the face and the resemblance is uncanny.
The noir suit is actually quite further back in this image and the details aren’t clearly visible. That is why for all the suits I have exported them as different images and uploaded them on social media sites such as: Newgrounds, DeviantArt, Instagram, etc.
