Submissions are closed, so with that, here are the final entries for this month's contest!
"Making Harley Quinn more fashionable and giving her a touch of royalty, as Harley sees herself as the Queen of the Joker: the King of her affection."
"Ineligible as she may be, I still wanted to include my Harley in the submissions. I actually wanted to do a new Harley for the contest, but February has been a ridiculously busy month. In any case, I wanted to keep some elements of her classic costume in play, but take her a bit more towards Arkham Asylum, without overly vamping the character. I think the miniskirt plays up her 'seductive' side, but it also works as a distraction; Harley's hardcore -- I mean, she whacks people with an over-sized mallet! My favorite part about my redesign are the boots and the spiked gloves."

"Harley is one of my favorite characters, and I've always thought that there couldn't be a better costume for her, so I had to think outside the box for this one. Not delving too far into the Nolan-verse I thought that realistically, if she's a psychiatrist in Arkham, she could very well afford a nice, cusome-made suit. Aesthetically, I was going for something expensive but fun that would let her move around, yet be a bit protective, all the while keeping that 'Harley-something' we all love."
"Harley's always been one of my favorite characters. I wanted to make her a bit more sexy while still retaining the familiar elements of her original costume."

"A little bit psychiatrist, a little bit screwball (or cueball) and totally a summer-only outfit. The pigtails are attached to the red cueball mask. Imagine trying to pull that hair through tiny holes every time? That's a lot of wasted minutes!"

"For my design, I wanted to stay true to the animated version of Harley, so I kept it simple. I wanted to convey that playful attitude, while keeping in mind that she's pretty much insane. I tried to keep the costume very acrobatic looking, and I kept the original color scheme, 'cause it just works so well."
"My take is based on some photos of Marlene Dietrich I was looking at, along with the idea of dressing Harley like her puddin', the Joker."
"I wanted to create a silent and creepy Harley, who's costume seems like it shows off a little more of what she is capable of. In the comics, she is very acrobatic and graceful -- in a crazy way, of course. I wanted to make her this sort of deranged ballerina that hides behind a harlequin mask, and is crazy enough to love and follow the Joker. She doesn't mind getting bloody, and doesn't think to clean it off when it's all over her."
"I tried to keep the harlequin/clown esthetic, but a sexy version!"
Editor's note: You can see more of Sylvia's Haley redesign in action here!

"This redesign was inspired by the realization that if the Joker is a mob boss, then Harley would be his 'moll'. So, in this version, Harley is a kept woman (complete with Hyena fur coat), and the Joker keeps her around to look pretty -- but she can always pull out the giant mallet when needed."

Great set of entries!
ReplyDeleteCaanan's has to be my fave from this set, with a simplistic yet undeniably Quinnish re-imagining!
I also like Lee's suspenders/shorts combo and Julian's Quinn is just too damn cute!
All I can say is... wow. These last-day entries are terrific! I won't say which one of them I like best, but I think there might be a winner in this group. Excellent job!
ReplyDeleteI love the work of Omar Landeros. Sexy, sophisticated, but crazy and menacing. Perfect and very suitable description for Harley Quinn.
