The Phoenix logo I can go with....fully understandable....the part where she needs folds in the suit (of which there already are a couple areas) I don't see that.

In any case, will be able to better critique this when I see it in its completed form. I just get the sense I wouldn't even notice the lack of more significant folds on her outfit when the piece as a whole is shown with the full base.

Spandex last I heard is form fitting.
Something needs to be done with the suit to give it more depth, otherwise it looks like a bowen statue and for $600+ I don't want a 1:4 scale bowen statue.

SS did a good job with Batgirls outfit... I'm not talking about a gazillion folds or anything, just maybe make the ones they have now a bit more visible, as they are now they're really small.

My issue with it would be this area (circled in red). Fabric doesn't look like this on a woman's chest/breasts. This sort of look was always one of my main peeves on Bowen's female statues. This would be a deal-breaker for me on this piece.

I see your point. However, they tend to look like that in the comics, which is probably the look XM is trying to emulate.

This is how fabric should look.

I have to agree, now that people pointed it out. Her costume is too smooth. It does look like she has green skin. Tight, loose, there would be way more wrinkles in the fabric.

It's more like the costume has been painted on. Some subtle changes would make all the difference.

Yeah I agree, she looks nude with green skin. Would look much better as a costume made of fabric (sculpted of course).

One more on the pile. She looks great, but a few little details here and there could make all the difference and make her look even better.

Exactly, it needs to look like she has material on her like this storm statue. It's the little touches that give a statue a bit of realism...
