Help, need interestingly costumed superheroes…

We’re currently planning body armor, headdress, hair job, etc. for the body painting (currently scheduled for next Thursday). I know a bunch of you are into comics (more recently than me, anyway)–any suggestions? URLs are best, I can forward them to the artist…

The current idea is two metallic cobras running up the body, hoods centered over the breasts, heads meeting at the bottom of a metallic torque/armor around the neck. The lines run roughly similar to that on Starfire, from the waist up:

Legs, maybe some jagged metallic-scrap stuff a la Witchblade:

Haven’t figured out the rest of it yet. Not totally attached to this idea, either. Ideas would be nice…my last serious venture into comic books was in 1984 , so I haven’t much idea what’s current.

We’re currently planning to shoot on 35mm film (cheaper, good up to 11×14 print probably–although i’m tempted to go higher up in case I want a poster) and shoot against a brown/gold/orange spotted backdrop which gives an overall rather earthy tone. other than that, still planning. send me ideas! What interestingly barbaric costumes are out there?
