The DC characters REDESIGN thread

[sabetoonth]

not bad, personally, i like the body suit of version 2, but i love the mask and cape on this one Bravo

 

[camp Blood]

I tried to make the cape snd straps a grayish teal color and I didn't go with the body suit cause I really want to throwback to the circus outfit

 

[camp Blood]

ok so saber-tooth you liked him better with the body suit so i scrapped basically every idea i came up with and went with a more traditional style nightwing costume and this i came up with i hope you guys like it cause it will be my last try

 

[sabetoonth]

again not bad, kinda kept the beak idea in his mask and the blue lenses which is cool,

 

[camp Blood]

Yeah I'm done with him I feel like a did all I could with him I just want to move on I got a really good superman idea I want to get on paper and a flash one too I've also been wanting to redesign martian manhunter

 

[sabetoonth]

no prob. glad you like them. i really like the redesign, and definitely see him taking on a look thats more in line with batman after having been batman. I just recolored it so that every piece is either sky blue or black. let me know if there are any parts you want to see in blue or black.

 

[sabetoonth]

i like the one with more black/grey best

love the cape and the way it drapes. very cool idea. as i mentioned before, only thing i would do is make the navy blue areas black or sky blue (including the cape), and make the knee pads the same color as the rest of the pants.

i like the mask, although you spoiled us with the cool idea of the helmet.

has a middle eastern/persian feel to it with the scarf/cape. i like it. it could be something he wears when he goes to fight RAS alghul in the middle of the sweltering desert and instead of a helmet and a cape, this could be a lite version.

sorry if i am hijacking the thread but here is my superman throwback redesign.

its based on the very first superman costume, i got all inspired like when i saw the dc universe online trailer

Thanks for the kudos you guys , it's going to be a while before I do another NW
MO my fav NW recolor is the one with the sky-blue cape I think it really works

 

[camp Blood]

Anyone?

Hey Camp, your design is pretty cool. Although with the symbol, I realized a long time ago that it's already been perfected about as far as it could go. I tried a similar retro design once and a wise artist shared this insight:

"For me, the shape of Superman's logo is a diamond crossed with an infinity symbol, and symbolises his near infinite strength (both physically and morally)

I don't think anyone could come up with something more perfect for the character. "

Once I read that, I couldn't unsee those two designs and I really think that he was onto something there. Also I'm confused by the lines you drew on the briefs. What are they for?

The clasps are neat, but it took me a bit to notice them. I would define them more and maybe make them a tad larger?

That's my advice. You're definitely onto something I think.

 

[camp Blood]

I did the lines on the briefs cause it looks like on the old briefs he has a fly but thanks bro I got a good idea now

 

[camp Blood]

one more superman

now to tackle martian man-hunter which is going to be tough

i gave him a headband thing to make him feel more herculean / princely plus it helps hide his eyes a little so its more of a disguise too. above all i wanted to give the suit a kryptonian feel

 

[spiderfan970]

Cool idea! However I think that the S needs a bit more work. It's kinda hard to read as an S.

Here's my take on the Superfamily.

 

[camp Blood]

Sorry I was trying to make the s look alien is if it's not supposed to be an S but that's just how humans read it

This is awesome.

P.S spiderfan970 your take on Superboy ROCKS!

 

[camp Blood]

Thanks YS what did you think of the second son of krypton one

 

[Young Superman]

Thanks YS what did you think of the second son of krypton one

I think it make a good Elseworlds costume

 

[camp Blood]

That's actually a really good idea

I had a feeling you would like the retro one throwing back to when supermans symbol when the "S" just stood for superman

 

[spiderfan970]

Sorry I was trying to make the s look alien is if it's not supposed to be an S but that's just how humans read it

Hmm...why not just use the Kryptonian symbol for it then? The one where it looks like an infinity symbol.

P.S spiderfan970 your take on Superboy ROCKS!

Thanks buddy! What'd you think of the other ones?

 

[camp Blood]

I would but I really want to come up with a new symbol to truly make it my own redesign

 

[Young Superman]

Thanks buddy! What'd you think of the other ones?

Not bad, but Superboy stuck out too me.
