Super Argo! Does the name rings your bell? ...... Nope? Can't blame you because this movie character (yes, there's a movie based on this character!) existed more than 2 or 3 decades ago. I was around 5 or 6 years old when i saw it on the cinema and got me haunted forever with his silly bright yellow costume and stupid grin. Curious about him? Google "Super Argo" and find out yourself.

Technical/artwork notes :
Based on body figure generated using Poser. Here's the breakdown...

Body : I used 'Dust and Scratches' effect to soften the body surface so i looks more like cloth instead of yellow-painted naked body. The right leg and boot was created last and somehow i'm not satisfied with the result, it look a bit flat, i don't know.

Mask/Head : The visor, spiral were created using CorelDraw, exported as EPS and used as mask selection in Photoshop. The 3D looks on visor and spiral were achieved using 'Bevel and Emboss' effect which i usually hate but surprisingly it worked here.

Cape : Again, imported as EPS from CorelDraw, opened as mask selections and lots of airbrushing job.

Gloves : I tried to achieve realistic looks by creating seams on certain parts, i hope it works.

Belt and Buckle : Same treatment with The Cape.

Background : I gave some 'spiral'-ing effect to emphasize the hypnotic ability of the character (if the memory serves, that's one of his ability...)... thus the spiral on his forehead.

Others : I added 'Pointillize' and 'Noise' effects on most parts of the costume, trying to achieve 'velvet' look, not sure if it works.
