Wendy-Self's Starfire

Back in February, our Starfire contest was a huge success, drawing in record entries at the time. Unfortunately, some people didn't have time to complete their submissions then, but we're happily presenting one of them now:

Wendy-Self

"I liked the idea of giving the character a tribal theme and I tried to play up the more cat-like features of the Tamaranean race. I tried to keep some of the key character traits from the original design like the purple of the costume, red jewels and big red hair but at the same time I tried to make it look unique. I especially loved drawing the tattoos/markings on her skin, the thought being that her people would absorb solar rays through these markings, like solar panels, which she then channels into her starbolts."

Sometimes I get bummed when we get pieces that never made it to the original contests, because they very likely could have been tough contenders. I have a feeling that Wendy's piece would have done well.

Let us know what you think in the comments below, and stay tuned for more redesigns as we approach the end of the month.

Remember, you can send in your Avengers redesigns any time, but keep in mind that they won't be posted until the start of May. For details on the Avengers contest, please click here.
