EDIT: I darkened the gray accents to fit in better with the overall design. I made sure the details were maintained despite the lower contrasts.

I wasnt very happy with my first take on the Caped Crusader of the future, so I decided to go back and try again.

The goal for the design was to keep minimal detail but to build to the original design of the canon suit. Contrary to my first design, I neglected to add an extraneous amount of smaller parts, and instead streamlined the look to be a sleek as the original but still be original.

I experimented more with Illustrator, to capture difference qualities of material and texture. I figured out some cool ways to get a dusky rubber look for the grey parts, and a shiny vinyl for the black.

The most difficult part was the mask. Ive seen many fanarts of Batman Beyond fall flat because the mask came out either too detailed, or in most cases too demonic. I researched some interesting concepts of different bat-cowls, and worked in some ideas I got from the cowl used in the Field Test short from the Gotham Knights DVD - alot like flight headgear.
