I second the Superman logo idea, but any superhero logo would be pretty cool. You could maybe do fish on it with some seaweed around them and bubbles and stuff. You could be your own aquarium!

Or do a trompe l'oeil painting of a shark gobbling away at your flesh.

you have to do something on the rib area for sure!!! the fish scale idea sounds cool and is not too hard to do. please post pics when you decide on what to do.

Okay!
I got started! and it's looking GREAT so far!
I will try to get some of the pics up today if I can....

I just started on my 3 mil - and went with the Spiderman type look
(or Spider-girl, I guess)

Anyway....I went with neon orange (puffy) paint from the LDS
(I already had it from marking some gear last year)
and started with the spider webs
on the limbs...

I have to hang it and let it dry after painting each section so it's slow
going, but I got a really good start on one leg and one arm so far.
(I'll be wearing the 7 mil this Saturday, so I'll be able to work more on
it at the end of this week) - I'll keep you posted on my progress -
and will, of course, post final photos once it's done!

Okie Doke -
I'm trying to attach some photos of my "work in progress"....
let's see how I do.

the photos themselves are not so great - taken with my phone,
without the best light, but you can see how it's coming!

the first three photos are of the left leg - the third picture is
my suit hanging in the closet while the paint is drying....

The fourth picture is of the right sleeve....i just started on that
one. The red thing in the photo is a balloon in the sleeve to
hold the suit in shape while I paint on it.

I hope you can see it OK -- I'm just tickled with how it's turning out!

That looks awesome. Are you taking orders? I'd like mine to have the Thor chest plate.

That could be done! - If you have a vest we could get some silver and
paint that right on it! (I'd watch out for the silver if you dive around barracuda though!)
