If they had toned down the severe color contrast to match the original look, it might not have looked quite so doofy. Well, there's no help for those eyes.

That looks weird but at least with the all-black it works. I have no idea why the game seems to be going with the weird "Black shoulder pads and gray pillow abs" look.

They didn't use the designs.

I think they're brilliant and would've worked great for the space-faring series.

e: I think he said this stuff was initially rejected for the initial run, but he was in the credits they first put out for the July relaunch (with a TBA writer, which is why I'm not sure till the solicit is out,) so hopefully they get in now. Too bad Jeff Lemire won't be there,

I want to like Stargirl, but it's just too. many. stars. Most of the Starman costume designs (Ted Knight, Will Payton, Prince Gavyn) just have one big star on the chest.

The half-star on the end of the staff is an interesting idea but it doesn't quite work for me.

As for Animal Man, what are those bladey things on his shoulders supposed to be?

If you nixed all the stars on Stargirl except for the legs and middle of the chest it'd be a knockout of a design. I even like the staff thing.

Animal Man is the worst. It's a literal visualization of all of his potential animal powers-- stripes, spots, fins, etc. The coloring and individual pieces are excellent but it sucks chode as a whole.

Teenage Fansub posted:

They'd look like utter poo poo being drawn by a sub-par artist and much more difficult to cosplay than the legions of other outfits out there. There's always some gibbering retard who goes "lol yeah cater to the bottom 10% that's a great strategy" but the truth is it is a great strategy because superhero characters thrive on how easily their image can be replicated and plastered around in other media, and the busier and trendier a design is the harder it is for that to happen.

I'm guessing crow feathers or something. From the last lot of designs he posted, it looks like his suit changes to match the power set he takes on.

I love it.

I don't think the Animal Man costume is bad per se, but I do think it has a lot of orange, and Animal Man is blonde, and what I'm getting at is it looks really close to Aquaman's costume. Sure you can make it all weird, but to me I just see fins on Aquaman and think "Man Aquaman is being really heavyhanded with this King of the Sea motif"

Hasn't Animal Man had an orange costume for most of his history?

Yeah, when I saw the first image of that design I was confused as to who it was, Aquaman or Animal Man. Doesn't help that they both start with "A."

Orange and blue.

I think part of the problem is the little black flecks all over AM's top, which kinda suggest the scales on Aquaman's traditional goldfish shirt. The stubble also puts me in mind of Aquaman's beardy barbarian phase.

I love the poo poo out of his style but feel his costume designs aren't very iconic. They are neat, but just too detailed to be memorable. Except his awesome monster Metamorpho.

Aquaman and Green Lanterns are ace (would love to read that Elseworld), but the others are emblematic of Rocafort's "Mark Silvestri Jr." tendencies.

I really wish people would stop trying to redesign Flash's costume. The Wally redesign worked since all it really did was modernize Barry's costume some, but was pretty minor overall. Everything else just comes off like it's trying to hard.

Some of those are cool, but I don't really like how both of the wonder woman (are they both wonder woman?) costumes look like swimsuits with a bunch of details piled on top of them instead of completely cohesive designs. The cynical approach is just to say that it's titillation, but even putting that aside it's wasteful because part of the costume is just dedicated to saying "check out her thighs" instead of saying anything about the character at all.
