I love costume discussion. Not that I have anything to add, the OP is pretty great though, and the worst part of internet creatives doing cool redesigns is when you compare them to what is standard in comics right now. I think Extremis Iron Man by I assume Adi Granov was Tony's peak look. Since then it's all gone downhill, even in the movies. I would love to hear on designs people know are terrible but are still nostalgic about. I've liked a lot of Wonder Man's terrible outfits and Kyle Rayner's crab mask.

I didn't like the old costume at all but this one doesn't click with me immediately. Interested to see how other artists interprete it. I felt the same way about Cap Marvel at first too and now looking back it was an A++ change.

I think that's an example of a good art style covering for a plain design. I think stars aren't a good fit for her since it makes her seem American inspired. Still, better than what we usually get.

I never noticed before, but her skirt situation is weird. And her thigh/hip situation. I liked her eagle war armor at the end, though. And speaking of Kingdom Come costumes, I wish more Lanterns looked like this.  It's practical, makes Alan Scott look older and more vulnerable inside, while also making him look way more badass. It's not the form fitting outfit of a young agile hero, it's the blocky solid armor of an experienced and powerful old man. Chinaman7000 fucked around with this message at 04:28 on Dec 30, 2014 |

Amazons use weapons and armor so it fits just fine, Stars and Stripes aside. I agree about Superman, though.

TwoPair posted:Even if elements of it are dumb, I really do like cartoon/90s Cyclops more than any of the full bodysuit versions I've ever seen. No Scott, putting an X on your face does not make the body condom cool, just stop trying to make it work already. poo poo, young time-displaced Cyclops has a better costume. Gonna just mention I hate the costumes on the young X-Men. They look like throwaway-teenage-superhero-group that shows up for one issue to fight the Teen Titans because they're boss is actually evil. The different colors make them look like Power Rangers.

Red Bones posted:I thought Cyclops' big red X was a physical object, like his regular visor is. Is it always meant to be just a red bit of is costume vacuum formed into every contour of his face? Depends on the artist. I prefer the physical object interpretation. It's still more molded to his face than the old visor, but it should not be drawn like they are just red color on his spandex mask. I also think the costume works best with really stylized art and flat colors, the more details you add the less cool it looks. I like Kitty Pryde's current costume cause it's just a basic rear end X-Men outfit. I always preferred X-Men outfits looking like uniforms over superhero costumes.

At some point, when you are trying to achieve that much efficiency with so little artistic merit, why are you even a comic book artist anymore?

Teenage Fansub posted:Examples I agree with all of these. The Animal Man one is hardest since it's the last recognizable to me, but the overall design is simple and catchy. The others are all pretty good evolutions of the original looks. Orion and Adam Strange really won in the reboot designs. New Raven and the Starfire costumes have been pretty awful though, and that Robin up there is a literal joke that can't be real, because this is reality, and that thing doesn't belong in my reality.

T-shirt Superman was great last time. I like the classic S a whole lot, too. It feels much more like a modern take on him than the techno-armor stuff. Haircut and grimace are putting me off, right now though. Wonder Woman I like some of, but don't know where the hand knives come into play. It feels like DC is listening to complaints and facing up to weird poo poo they've pulled. It's not really that perfect yet but these are cool moves.

Giant wrist swords seem weird and not in an interesting way to me. I don't mind robot Batman or wild rear end changes to designs but it will take a lot to convince me that those are a good addition.

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.

His style isn't bad but it isn't superheroey. Stuff works for a fantasy take on DC, and I would be very down for that.

Knives Amilli posted:Speaking of the Ray, I liked his new 52 look. Even though it was deviation from the "Fin Head" look, it had a "light hero/Apollo/Sun God" aesthetic (shiny skin really is reminiscent of Captain Atom tho) . Really looks he'd fit better in a Cosmic setting (character is basically dead now). I know nothing about the Ray other than tiny cameos but I loved his fin head look. It was very different but memorable.

I'm having a hard time thinking of any anime designs that aren't terrible. And I don't even hate anime. Gundams look cool and look how much they have to milk that. (Let's not make this the anime costume thread)

Two characters who should look extremely goofy and corny and unique: FIrestorm and Alan Scott. POOFY SLEEVES. I like the giant design above the same way I liked the monstrous Metamorpho from Travel Foreman. Superheros should have more distinct body archetypes.

Does not look very inspired. Also his name is Kenji which makes me really confused. As an American-born Chinese guy who loves superhero comics and is married to a Chinese lady this whole thing sounded really interesting but looks stupid as poo poo.

Deadshot's classic mask is a loving treasure and the most obviously cool design. The last time I was this offended at a pointless open face was Starlord. Also, someone explain how Croc's jaw works.

Firestorm works because of what was said above. Booster and Herc (and Gambit) are arrogant smug pricks so it works on them. I've solved the equation.

mind the walrus posted:In the interest of not being a salty poo poo everywhere I should say that the one thing I kind-of like about Ray Fisher's Cyborg design is that it makes him look like a head thrown on a metal skeleton which is visually unsettling in the way Cyborg's built-in angst should be. new-Robocop was the first time a movie has made me feel the impact of this sort of thing. Not sure if that's what I'm looking for out of a superhero movie but it definitely left a mark.
