My new track suit
Design finalized, now I just have to wait for it to get sewn and come in.
Bit upset it took the whole race season to get this done, but them's the breaks. Next year!

Custom suit? What's the price? Maybe I need one.
(with a different logo... before someone cracks a joke ) |

I love it!!!
Just the right balance of colours & accent and the logo is excellent!!! It just needs a little track rash!

For anyone interested in the creative process, here's the development of the suit over it's drafts. Also the 'inspiration' for the initial design, Lady's suit from DMC, with a few reference pictures.

Teal/Aqua is nice, but not my color scheme. It's why I nixed it in v3 (v2 was from Heroic's designer)

Looks nice. I have an off-the-rack Heroic Traxxion suit that kinda-sorta-fits me well enough. The build quality is really nice, though and once it's on I forget it's there.
One of these days I need to get a custom suit made up.

Not great image quality (I think he took it on his camera phone in bad lighting) but, it's done! Now to wait for it to come in the mail!

Still waiting for my local track orgs to put up their 2017 schedules. CSS's earliest class would be Vegas in Feb; which I'm undecided on (last year I did Vegas in March, Feb's weather can be a little hit or miss for me to ride at my best).

Still waiting for it to arrive, but Heroic made a gallery of it. He got some details wrong (it's not based on any of my characters; I think he assumed that Lady from DMC was from a game I worked on) but some good shots.
