Hmmm - kudos for pushing on with this stuff dude.  I see what you mean about the primitive feel of this costume - doesn't seem too futuristic to me either.

Do you pull these straight from your head or do you do a bit of research first?

How do you feel about maybe doing some research first and then putting together your own costume.

Couple of guys I feel do great futuristic costumes are:

Anthony Jones:  https://www.artstation.com/robotpencil

and

Nivanh Chanthara:  https://www.artstation.com/nivanhchanthara

Maybe some material to study next time.

Keep pushing dude :).

The main issue is i am world building so there no definitive cultural influence really i am more thinking about era than geographic influence .I am inspired to try to bring medieval with futurism i think it just hard to pull for me right now and i am certainly not there yet i think the main issue is my shape language and the texture read more as primitive material.But i don't want to go overboard either so i am still trying to reach a middle ground.I sense i got an affinity for more medieval stuff so i gotta fight myself to balance toward adding more futuristic shape language.I like the idea of having jacket to protect against hostile environnement but i certainly don't want my character to be wearing hoodies,t-shirt,jean or some sneaker so i gotta find inspiration away from those 3 thing.I am thinking of extreme coexisting in the same universe on one side you got the real poor wearing medieval style fashion and the rich and powerful would be wearing more futuristic clothing.

So far i not been really hitting the color palette i found in most of the futurism fashion i am looking at.My palette would need more beige brown,white and black.But i also have faction color i want to incorporate so that every character can read as being from a different faction.

I only recently started playing more with color so i am still going to learn alot when it come to pairing color.
