SRI ASIH
For Sri Asih, we had the task of creating a superhero suit that fused the traditional Indonesian aesthetic of the comic book character with the modern feel of a Marvel or DC character. We made seven multiples of the suit, sized for stunt performers and allowing harnesses underneath. The armor is all flexible rubber painted to be metallic while remaining stunt-friendly. We sourced high-density screen printing for texture patterns on areas of the fabric.
The 3-D gauntlet model.
Using the 3-d print of the gauntlet, along with the scan of the actress arm, so pattern the leather gauntlets.
Semi-rigid urethane rubber gauntlets, painted and ready.
The leather gauntlets with velcro. We made them separate from the armor element because they were so tight they had to be put on first, then armor stuck on.
Finished gauntlets.

First chest piece stitched together, with screen-printed texture panels and leather.
Working out changes for different size stunt performer.
This was a very difficult stitch job, all the way around all these pieces.

First finished suit.
This suit was very sophisticated. Many panels, many materials.
For the ear jewelry, the hero versions were not molded, just actual prints painted gold.
The stunt versions of the ears were molded, and cast in rubber.
Gold arm bangles. With elastic straps. The easiest part of the whole project!
