I was a bit reluctant to do a re-design, since the previous one was fairly recent. But the Ravelos wanted a sleeker look this time around, and this became the final design (after going through several ones). So, which one do any of you prefer, this one or the one that came before?
I'll b posting more artwork at my capsulezone website one of these days.
And if you like, you can also watch the trailer for the TV series below...

Congrats Sir Reno! I'am planning to make a custom toy of this new design after seeing the trailer on t.v.
Thanks, Randy!
To be honest I actually prefer the previous design, however this version might actually look better without the silver. This is just my opinion but good job anyways :)
Why not make one that looks more Pinoy than foreign? Why do our superheroes have to have attributes akin to their Western counterparts? Japan, for instance, seems to have done well with theirs, so how come ours have trouble finding their identity and voice? We Pinoys are pretty resilient and flexible by nature, but also resourceful and innovative, and this should reflect in the fictional characters who inspire us to improve as a nation, or am I being too idealistic? :(
Anonymous 1, I also like the previous design better, but they wanted a sleeker, more streamlined look, so this is what got approved.
Anonymous 2, that's a very good point, but I think Americanisms have been so deeply ingrained in the Filipino psyche that most of us find it hard to break away from it (we use the english system of measurement instead of metric, for example). Also, I don't have creative control over Captain Barbell, I was just hired to design the costume.
There's nothing wrong with being idealistic. :)
Pinoy hospitality seems to extend further than welcoming foreign attitudes to the point of completely embracing them by imitation or adaptation, as evident in the genre of superhero komiks, but it's ironic that in trying to encourage some form of nationalism we've neglected some of the qualities that have made our flexibility recognized globally: Time was when most of us have been able to speak English as the language was the instruction medium in academic institutions as well as widespread in various media.
Nonetheless, it's never too late to change the course in which we're heading in all aspects, but it has to start somewhere, and in the case of your genre your input still counts as your work has a degree of influence to those who have access to it in whatever media they are available, as the old chestnut about great power and responsibility goes :)
I think the Ravelo's wants to follow the trends of costumes today...not to many cuts, sleek like something kinda like Green Lantern (Ryan Raynolds)
