"Wonder Woman is easily one of my favorite characters. So I was more than happy to give this month’s character a shot! My goal was to come up with a costume that could work beyond comics, and retain most of what I enjoy about the character and keep that iconic feel. My approach here was to pay homage, but create something that could work well in other mediums like, movies, TV, etc. I opted to keep her arms uncovered, but I did cover her legs. I personally don’t have a problem with shorts, bikinis or skirts, but I feel that those work only in comics. I wanted to give her boots, not heels, because I feel she gets into situations that heels wouldn't work in. I slightly changed the tiara, and kept the original bracelets. I also wanted to loosely pattern my Wonder Woman a bit after Linda Carter, who to me, still is the most recognizable representation of the character."
What do you all think? Let us know in the comments below, and be sure to check out all the Wonder Woman entries we've received so far! There's still plenty of time to submit, so check out the Official Contest Announcement and check out our submission guidelines!
You're getting some really nice designs for Wonder Woman. I love everything I've seen so far. It's going to be hard to pick a winner.
ReplyDeleteI see them as plain and simple. Honestly, it would be much greater to add some colors in to it.
ReplyDeleteWarren - I agree, a lot of top-notch stuff has come in. Personally, I love the upper-half of TBranch's design. It looks similar to what DC tried to do with the relaunch except, you know, good. And Furious' design is, I think, a great example of making the pants work.
ReplyDeleteNovasure - Care to elaborate? I'm seeing a great use of color across the board!
Alex, I think I see what Novasure is referring to here. Our entries skew pretty primary as far as colors go. No one took the opportunity to mix up the costumes color pallet much. Perhaps adding in a additional color choice, say my favorite Purple, or swapping it for the traditional blue or red colors in the designs.
ReplyDeleteOr perhaps they're not far enough removed from what one would expect from a WW redesign for their tastes.
Either way, I see a lot of different takes on the character that all have strengths and weakness. All are pretty cool concepts in my book. The best part about this is there is still time for others to submit their designs.
Looking forward to seeing even more WW redesigns!
Furious - I can understand that. That makes sense. In general, I've been happy, but a mix of other colors could be cool; we'll have to see what other artists send in!
ReplyDeleteOne of the Wonder Woman entries has some Army green...
