The DC characters REDESIGN thread

very nice spiderfan

 

[Harls]

Wow, I like that version of her costume better than the official redesign!

 

[M.O.Steel]

i know. what's with the costume/origin redesign? they essentially made her a female-superman.

 

[camp Blood]

Edit!

 

[BATZARRO WWD]

Wanted to redesign WOnder WOman as well, I guess as a response tho the new costume. I kinda screwed up the symmetry of the shoulder pads.My attempt to sort out the kinds of issues that people complain about in WOnder Woman's costume. I put in diamond like jewels instead of stars and made the red and the blue slightly of.

Edit: Further attempts at Redesigning ahead

Tried Refining my previous WOnder WOman design and adding details. Came out a bit more manly that I would have liked, though.

A redesign of Eviless, and Early villainess who I read doesn't have a current version. I put as much Tilda Swinton in as I could muster.

Cheetah Redesign. Not much to say. I added a helmet based on a bicycle helmet that had these kind of ear like designs.

 

[THE MR. TERRIFIC]

This is a GL I created for a GL RPG I'm playing. This was done old school in color pencil!

this is my redone night wing from the previous page i cut a lot out and kept it simple i didn't give him a utility belt but instead a kit pouch and escrima stick holders the cape is small and more for flash and movement when hes fighting to confuse its opponent. i know i screwed up on the eyes but they are supposed to look like they do in the side shot sorry i did this pretty late at night as you can tell by the time of the post. i changed the suit to really hone in the the fact its nightwing

hope you guys like it

 

[camp Blood]

bump'n for opinions

batzarro i like the wing shoulder guards.

 

[sabetoonth]

i dont like the cape, and the helmet/mask thing could use some adjustment imo, but ther est looks cool

 

[camp Blood]

Ok but what kind of adjustments I'll do another one

 

[sabetoonth]

ive never played silent hill and i think he looks pretty Pyramid Head-ish with the cowl

 

[camp Blood]

I tried to make it look like a beak maybe I'll adjust the angle

 

[M.O.Steel]

i like the concept, especially since night-wing is currently batman, and will return to being night-wing, it seems like it would be a hybrid of the batman design and his original night wing.i really feel bad suggesting things because it is an original design, and like art, its part of the artist. it's like saying the Mona Lisa would look better if the background had more blue. but since you asked i hope you don't mind...

1) i personally prefer the original bird/suit color scheme, instead of the inverse that you went for. just a personal preference
2) i would move the bird up so that the whole design ends in his torso and have it go over the deltoids. it feels weird having his symbol/logo over his stomach. imagine if the Superman S, or the bat, or the green lantern symbol was over the stomach/crotch.
3) i think the helmet idea is very cool, but not practical as is. the helmet is meant for protection, but you sacrifice vision and range of motion. a cowl/mask is great for moving, looking, but no protection. this is a helmet, but with a open mouth, so it compromises the helmet. like a fort with open door. i think a better idea would be if the helmet can close. either the top part flips down, or if you want to keep the "beak", have the edges of top and bottom piece actually touch (does this make sense?)
4) i think i like the cape of your original drawing better. but i like the split in this one, but this one looks like the wings of an insect instead of bird. I think you should still keep the wing shape so that it does the same effect of the bat with batman
5) in general, i say pick 2 colors, and create the whole thing with it (maybe a third if it is black or white). i feel that there are too many different colors.
--this isn't a design idea, more of just the drawing. NW is kinda small compared to the mugger. if you look at NW's feet the are kinda small compared to the guy's face, or even the guys own feet. it looks like a robin. if you can, try to make the character bigger with photoshop or something

i hope you don't mind. again, these are my personal suggestions, not flaws.

 

[M.O.Steel]

so i noticed you said you wanted the beak...

my first idea, if the parts flipped down, would look like this,

and my second one, the beak,

 

[sabetoonth]

I tried to make it look like a beak maybe I'll adjust the angle

maybe make it more like the cowl/mask is more like a bird's whole head? make a pronounced beak to go over the nose? i like the idea, it just kinda looks iffy imo

 

[camp Blood]

I think I am just going to give up on nightwing both my designs were all wrong so I am going to move on to my flash idea

 

[M.O.Steel]

i don't think you should do that. you have something there.

 

[camp Blood]

Well I had something but I did imagine him having a HUD like ironman inside his mask so he really wasn't sacrificing vision

 

[sabetoonth]

you never said that, see, we need to know that kinda thing or we say he is sacrifcing vision

and you do have someething there, just needs a little tweaking

 

[camp Blood]

I thought I mentioned it in the first pictures post

 

[M.O.Steel]

Well I had something but I did imagine him having a HUD like ironman inside his mask so he really wasn't sacrificing vision

nah, i think you may have missed my point.

i love the helmet idea.

even in the case of iron man, it's still restricting his vision, even with the HUD system. he is losing his peripherals. and it is restricting his general head movement. again, i'm not saying that helmets are bad, and masks are good, because mask literally have zero protection. in fact, i think helmets are more badass than a domino mask.

it's a pro/con situation between the helmet vs. the mask. the problem with your design is that it takes the disadvantages of both. you get the restrictive nature of the helmet, but it's open, so you don't have proper protection.

 

[camp Blood]

Maybe I'll give it another go

 

[sabetoonth]

cant wait to see what you come up with

 

[Young Superman]

I was inspired by the recent Wonder Woman redesign to make my own. Basically I just took a bunch of components from older WW designs I liked and put them all together into one suit.

Nice

 

[camp Blood]

well i gave it one more try and here is another late night post. i don't think i need to explain it again so here is the suit with the changes you guys said. i went with a ninja/acrobat suit that is a throw back to the robin suit with full face mask and cape thats the three point like the first design and a new bike design that is inspired by the new tron legacy footage

There is a little squiggle on the bottom left of the cape ignore that it's a accident from a sneeze
