Title: The Flash Noir
Name: Christopher Brändström
Country: Sweden
Software: Maya, mental ray, Mudbox, Photoshop, ZBrush
So, I finally managed to finish this piece. Started working on it almost 2 years ago but didn't have time to finish it back then.
This is my take on a 40s version of The Flash. Didn't want to overdo it with very sci-fi gadgets, nano-fabrics or general high-tech neon-glowy-stuff. Wanted it to feel like a first trial run of the suit before it became the red/yellow spandex suit it is today.
Hope you like it!
Here's a VERY highres version of the image which I think you'll appreciate more:

Fantastic cloth. Brillant used look of the leather.
The work was really worth it.
I also like the pose.
Cool work, Chris!

Being not familiar with the depicted hero, i can only say that he looks like a smart Swedish sportsman with unique earflaps. Outstanding styling and excellent execution! :thumbsup:
great character, like the textures alot, cloth is great. the only crit i have is the mouth area, it could get more detail/definition.

Thomas-Rudat: Thanks, Thomas! Really appreciate it!
bearfoot: Thanks for the comment and feedback!
MatoH: Cheers dude!
Skoglund: Thanks for the fix! Not sure why the link got altered though.
TheRazorsEdge: Thank you! I'll post some Zbrush renders for you soon.
zokana: Ha ha ha! I see your point. :) Glad you like it anyways!
Kzin: Thanks for the feedback. He's got a light fairly close to the face which is the cause of that.
DanHibiki: Thank you!
CHRiTTeR: Thanks! I was putting my focus and time on the character but yes, as an action image it's more appealing with a proper environment.

this is one of the most well done noir interpretations i have ever seen. my only critique is that the lightning bolt on his chest should be a little more pronounced. maybe a lighter color leather or something else subtle. also, i think the original character has red hair.

I mentioned this on the ZBrush forums but I'll say it again.....

Freaking AMAZING work! Looks way better than the actual Flash. Would you ever care to give pointers how you did the hair? Its phenomenal! (The whole piece is fantastic and some of the best I've seen.)

Finally, a pic from the top image gallery that is not too old and locked for me to comment on!
This is awesome. Love everything about it. I would have like to have seen the tiniest indication of blur or movement being hinted at but other than that top stuff! :)

Wow that looks awesome, love the darkness of it. It would look great if you included his natural colored speed trail as well, just to see the contrast in color.
