Figured i'd post his ref sooner than the other characters because its pretty much the same as it used to be, just with small differences. (plus its so far the only character ref i've drawn) So here have this Guy
another set of listener icons/logos, this time for the shaw pack!
darlin -> angel
sweetheart -> babe
darlin's originally had scratch marks but i didn't end up liking how they fit on a tape so i had to remove them 😔 angel has a flaming halo bc around here we love the latent fire elemental headcanon, sweetheart has an "invisible" heart to represent their stealth core, and babe's is mostly just 'cause to me they feel sparkly 🤷🏼♀️

okay so finished product. here's the blue beetle jacket (blue beetacket) inspired by the design by @drempen in their fanart. ill ramble a bit about making it under the cut but overall this was super fun and im excited to wear it to theaters!
basically i wanted a blue beetle varsity style jacket more then life and when it became clear this movie was getting very little promo and probably merch i realized i’d have to do it myself.
the design itself is heavily inspired by these pieces of fanart which i rotated around in my brain for So Long before deciding to make this.
it was actually easier to make than i thought it'd be. but honestly that's just cuz im lucky and know someone with a cricut machine who is much craftier than i am. the scarabs on the back and sleeves i used the cricut machine for. i just got some htv online and then cut and pressed those on.
the letters and numbers are iron on patches. i honestly kinda wanted a "class of 06" patch as a nod to the varsity style and jaimes 06 debut, but unfortunately thought of it too late to get one in time for sdcc (which is where it obtained the slight wear you might see in the first picture)
the "reyes" i embroidered by hand. its super messy cuz i'd only embroidered like two things previously, but i'm pretty proud of how it turned out.
Trying to scan him but it simply cannot capture that changing silver... I'll probably need to figure out some photograph setting to take this kind of painting
