I found this picture of Monica Rambeau



Does anyone have any ideas for the sleeves that doesn't use cloth or loose the articulation in the arms

You could modify Darkhawk's or Falcon's wings. They only clip at the wrist, so it wouldn't interfere with the elbow or shoulder movement. The downside is that they would always be "deployed" (for lack of a better word). Or you could mod classic Storm's.

Otherwise, I think your best bet would be to with what Proteus suggested. You can also post this question in the Radicons section over at TFW.

Maybe go with vinyl for outdoor banners- you'd have to anchor it in a couple of places to the upper and lower arms but if you give it extra material, it should move more like cloth than static parts like Falcon/DH wings.
I've been playing with it for a Manta custom.

I love that outfit and wish they'd bring her back to the Avengers! Comics seem to have some unwritten rule aganst having two black women in a team, which is stupid- Photon and Storm would kick ass together!

I think you could use some pipe cleaners, napkins lol, I dunno , really should be cloth, with fabric glue to adhere on certain spots, or modify storm's arm bandit things.

I think you could possibly use the lower arms from one of the Padme figures (those seem to have billowing sleeves) and just attached to the upper arms.
