Thanks, VL...
I was just messing around with Optical_Intrusion's displacement map tutorial & with creating starfields and remembered this character.
In some of the comics, the suit has a white outline along its outer edges, but when I tried to do it with the manip, it looked bloody awful--no matter what I tried, it looked like something that would happen by accident, and not by design. Funny how some stuff that looks great in the comics does NOT translate well to real-world.
