The first batch of Wonder Woman redesigns are in!
"I had all these ideas about whether it should go this way or that, and researched things about Greek goddesses, and armor and what not. Then I got a stupid idea of 'Hey, what if she was like Sailor Moon?!' It turned out to be the most original idea I had of the three, so I went with it. I still kind of went with the Greek goddess idea with the armor, just made it a bit more anime-ish to fit the theme of what I wanted."

“I tried not to go too crazy in redesigning Wonder Woman’s costume. I wanted something that could actually be used in the comics and not something that was barely recognizable as Diana. I gave her pants because it makes more sense to me but when I tried to cover up her shoulders/arms in a few ways it just started to feel less like WW so I kept them bare. After this was finished and up on the web, I realized that I totally forgot her lasso but that would’ve probably remained the same.”

"Wonder Woman, like Captain America, made her debut just before the United States entered World War II. This costume reflects a Wonder Woman who would have fought alongside Allied troops during the War."
"For my redesign I wanted to give her a more modern look while still adhering to her mythological Amazonian background. I feel like Wonder Woman is an icon of female empowerment, but for decades has been dressed to appeal to men. So hopefully this look makes her a little more intimidating and a little less eye candy."

"What I really wanted to do is lean more towards the goddess part of Diana’s origin, and move a bit further away from the Amazon part of it. In this redesign, I was going for a more peaceful Wonder Woman, with less of battle gear, and more of soft, smooth, and lighter clothing."

"I rearranged everything. I left the boots out because I liked them. Wonder woman rocks!"
What do you all think? Let us know in the comments below, and sharpen your pencils: all redesigns are due by August 24! Check out our official contest announcement for all the details!
My goodness! Why is there so many WonderWomen in such short notice?! I think we are getting more entries compared to War Machine. haha
ReplyDeleteThink I see entries that I like. haha
the design by Muhammad Usman could well be inspired by a certain armour available on the MMORPG Guild Wars. it is a Ranger elite armour, and if the wiki wasn't blocked at work i would post a link. regardless, i like it :)
ReplyDeleteShe's a big name, and certainly easier to draw then war machine. Also, her suit was/is/will be never quite perfect like Spiderman's or Superman's suits can be. And here's hoping for loads of girl drawing power.
ReplyDeleteLot's of solid designs right off the bat, that's amazing! Something tells me this is going to be a really hard competition to judge, haha. Personally I'm liking Muhammad's design the most. Not just the costume, but the art style as well.
ReplyDeleteI agree, there are some solid designs that have come in already! I'm hoping this one turns out to be awesome!
ReplyDeleteThese are all AMAZING so far. Voting on one's gonna be hard when the time comes!
ReplyDeleteI love the science fantasy direction of Schilling's design. Reminds me of the Thor film in the sense that this is an advanced civilization that inspired the Greek legends of the Amazons. That's sort of the approach I'm taking with mine.
ReplyDeleteI'm crazy for Muhammad Usman's design, I think it would look amazing in an animation of Wonder Woman when she was growing up in her home, or something like that.
ReplyDeleteAnd I like a lot Sebastian's design as well. Maybe the colors are just too...'strong'. But I like that warrior/sportive look that she has =)!
Good Luck Everyone!
