The DC characters REDESIGN thread

yeah man, good job

 

[M.O.Steel]

Another Batman.

this is fantastic. you were reflecting the burton-era without the rubber? i like it.

only addition i would do is maybe put trunks the same color (basically the trunk lines similar to his gloves). but i know you were going for the trunkless right?

 

[camp Blood]

Yeah , what really makes that shine through it's that it's not yellow it's gold like from returns

 

[spiderfan970]

Thanks everybody! Glad you guys dig 'em. And yeah I was going for a trunk-less Batman. And it's not so much reflecting the Burton era to me as it is trying to come up with the most simple and iconic version of Batman. You just have two colors and that's all you need. The dark blue and the yellow oval/belt. I see the movies always making him black and it makes sense. Were I planning to sneak around I'd dress appropriately as well. The only thing for me is that he'd be wearing blue instead of black. When you're sneaking around in the dark, a really dark blue will blend in much better than black will. Black will be darker than the dark and you'll stand out, also being blue is more true to his comic roots. So yeah this is my streamlined version of Batman.

What about a charcoal or medulium dark grey

 

[Jumpin' Jack]

I really love those Spiderfan.

Yeah that works too, if you look at the nolan movies that's what he did.

I really love those Spiderfan.

Thanks buddy! Glad you like 'em.

Your Batman and Robin pics are so AWESOME! They are the design love child of Nolan,Burton and Timm AKA the best kid ever.

 

[spiderfan970]

Hahah thanks. I don't really see the Nolan in it though, it seems pretty squarely 90s to me. I guess that first attempt is those three things though.

 

[camp Blood]

It's the belt that says nolan

 

[spiderfan970]

Oh snap, if it's the belt that's actually a belt he wore in the golden age. That giant circle buckle with the circles on it.

Also by the way, I was searching for images of the belt and found the coolest cowl sculpt I've ever seen: http://www.flickr.com/photos/atomicrayguns/3855125388/in/photostream/

I want that so bad.

 

[camp Blood]

I'd like to see batman with a octo-camo cape

I think I might do that

 

[Young Superman]

BATMAN 1930'S STYLE.

Nice

 

[spiderfan970]

So I took Wizard's Ultimate Superman design, mixed with David Williams Superman movie design and this is what I came up with. If I were drawing an Ultimate Superman book *cough Earth 1 cough* this is how I think I'd want my Superman to look. Changing the S shield is negotiable, but so far I've found this one to work the best with the style.

 

[webhead9707]

he had a beard at one point, but it wasn't very super-man-ish.

 

[webhead9707]

AWWW! I forgot to crop it , sorry!

 

[camp Blood]

Why not , I have a beard they're manly. Americas greatest president Lincoln had a beard, Jesus and Moses had beards , Vikings had beards

 

[Jumpin' Jack]

So does the ALMIGHTY CHUCK NORRIS.

 

[webhead9707]

Why not , I have a beard they're manly. Americas greatest president Lincoln had a beard, Jesus and Moses had beards , Vikings had beards

i know, but it made him look a little bit too bad tale to be superman.

 

[B-man]

nice work webhead9707, I like the suit.

 

[spiderfan970]

Haha you should go back and crop that man, that's not going to work.

 

[webhead9707]

thanks B-man!

 

[jmc]

 

[Jumpin' Jack]

DANG!
It's always great to see something new from you jmc. High class. Probably better than the one that they do, if they ever make a WW film.

 

[spiderfan970]

This is perfect to me, great work.
