Formfitting superhero costume are rampant in the funnies — after all , they do n’t call it “ donning the spandex ” for nothing . But while T’Challa ’s Black Panther suit in Civil War came out looking pretty much exactly like it did inthe very first concept artistic creation we saw of the reference , it almost took form - fitting to a whole other stratum .
The new concept work come from artist Jerad S. Marantz , who recently posted it tohis art blog . Marantz describes the workplace as a very early pass on Black Panther for Marvel ’s Visual Development team — and while still very Black Panther - ish , it ’s very different to what finally made its direction on - screen door .
It ’s not just tiptop - form fitting ; it bet like a human body with no layer of tegument on top , just picture the sinewy musculature underneath . There ’s a ton of detail in the costume , and it ’s kept very faithful to T’Challa ’s classic design , especially the masque , recreated to look like the loose , material version the character wore class and age ago in his original debut .
Some element transition into the final design , like the silvern claw “ necklace ” motif , but otherwise this is a very different form of suit to what we finally sustain . Black Panther looks great in Civil War , but his would ’ve been cool to see on the adult blind too .
