W.I.P. Ultimate Captain America

I guess pics with a human head inside (use yours if you don't have one in the freezer) would help us decide better :)
Great job!

That'll come soon, waiting on getting everything finished first - or at least together, to do a suited up pic.

great idea,very inspiring. Where did u find the sled?

I'd go with the wings but maybe size them down a bit, seem too large. Maybe half that size or so.

I've gotten a bit of that. So I probably will size them down and still debate on adding them. I made them large to mimic the Kotobukiya statue here:

After the feedback from last night I've decided to go ahead and put together a few versions of the wings to add to the hlmet. So after a bit of choosing which to do, I've narrowed it down to 4 different sets of wings that I like. 3 I designed on my own, and I did a rough version of the Kotobuyuki statue. But I need some more feedback here, so let me know which you think is best. I have my favorite of the 4, but want some other opinions.

Wings 1 - Earlier version I posted but shrunk down in size.

Wings 2 - Slightly modified version of Wings 1.

Wings 3 - Kotobuyoki helmet style.

Wings 4 - More straightened and sharper version of Wings 3.

Wings 4, but I would curve the vertical line a bit more. Maybe make it look like the vertical line in wing 3.

Just a thought
 
# 4 hands down. It's the cleanest looking in my opinion and fits better with how you've designed the rest of the suit. Great job.
 
#4 gives the helmet a very strong and defined presence, which every super hero needs. Thumbs up!!

I think he wants the waves in the helmet since it makes it look like fabric. If the entire thing was smooth it would ruin the look
 
Ok, so 4 seems to be liked the most. "so far" :) I'm going to go ahead and modify it a bit and curve the vertical line some as Tim Allen suggested, which I think is a good idea. I'll update in a bit.
 
It sounds like I may be the only one, but I like 2 a lot. 4 is good, but it doesn't feel as much like a wing to me.
 
no dont curve 4! Leave it straight but make the sloped bottoms of the stripes lined up, it'll look kinda like a judge dredd badge! Makes it more military.

Go with Wings 2.
 
Ok everyone, thanks for your votes and opinions. I've decided to just do a combination of them all into a final wing that fit into each of the previous 4 options. So I made one more and think this will be the winner. Let me know whatcha think!
