It's the penultimate post of redesigns in the
Girls Gone Geek and
Superhero of the Month Starfire contest!
"I was always a huge fan of the original Perez design, especially the
collar which always reminded me of an Egyptian Goddess. I started
tailoring my design after ancient Eygptian fashion which to me fit
perfectly with the character, and within the DC universe. The Egyptian
women were very sexually liberated, often depicted bare chested, so
that's kinda what I rolled with. Me and my girlfriend came up with the
loose-fitting, see-through cloth so that she wasn't completely bare
chested and then we added the straps as seen on some statues of Isis.
The original version actually has no straps, but in the end we needed to
keep things site-suitable (and at the risk of sounding like a creep I still prefer
the original version)."
"The thought behind my Starfire was to create a grown-up version from the
Teen Titans animated series. Some inspiration is taken from her comic form, but the
design is simplified for animation. I focused on the happy, energetic alien aspect of her character, rather then the warrior aspect."
"I wanted to keep her
costume sexy and revealing, but make her more cute and fun at the same
time. Less
Playboy, more playful. Also, I wanted to highlight that a
costume can be revealing without being completely impractical."
"For my Starfire redesign, I wanted to go with something simple and
clean, but with a little bit of sex appeal without showing all the
goods. I'm more of a fan of
Teen Titans cartoon Starfire, but I also
like pre-DCnU Starfire. I wanted to do a take as if the two were
combined and a little more modest than Starfire has been. I like to
think my Starfire remembers her friends and lovers."
"There's not much to say about it - she's a super-powered hippy with a fusion reactor for a haircut."

ReplyDeleteAll of them are quite good and the amount of time that was obviously put into them is amazing. There's some nice talent here.
I liked the show Teen Titans and seeing the different 'takes' on adult StarFire is fascinating.
My only critique is on the last one - I can't really see that being StarFire. But, it is a good in it's own merit.
Side note: I love this blog :)

ReplyDeleteLadies and gentlemen, I present to you how archeology doesn't work.
