Description
Not sure if this one will make the cut for P:R. But I decided a couple competitions back to be true to myself with the costume redesigns I've been doing. I'm thinking of it as how would I PERSONALLY redesign these costumes, not thinking of it as if I were designing for a specific writer. I think when I do that I try to hard to make other people like it, and lose my own style in the process.This one kind of went scene/emo, but I liked how it came out, it was a lot of fun. I think the main goals of Project: Rooftop are: have fun, and improve yourself as an artist. I did both on this, and I'm also happy with the pose.

Very nice!
About the pose, to me it almost looks like she's grabbing onto, and leaning from something.

Thanks Jakob! I was thinking of it as if she was posing for the camera (as most scene girls do), but she was spinning around. So this is mid-spin!

It's cool art. Really cool, but the pose confuses me, I can't tell if she's posing or moving.
Interesting how little of the superhero you chose t keep in there too, pretty much just the gloves, and they're ambiguous in their association. Kinda reminds me of Eisner having The Spirit be plain clothes and then just throwing a mask on him, more heroes should be styled that way.

Actually both, hahaha! She's a scene girl version of Black Canary, so she's kind of spinning for the camera!
It was a conscious decision, I knew that some people would go either completely true to the original costume, or COMPLETELY superhero. Neither of which are a bad thing, but I decided to go the separate path...very minimal superhero. I love that about the Spirit, or even the Green Hornet. They kind of just blend into the crowd.
If this one does get picked, I fully expect to be picked to get yelled at about this decision. I felt like it was a different point of view though that needed exploring!
Thanks for the great/insightful comment!

It seems like the perfect decision to me, not just because it allowed you to stay true to your style, but because Canary's not exactly the most stereotypically attired superheroine to begin with and this just pushes her further in that direction. I hope it gets picked!

Sweet design man. Getting kind of a Phillip Bond vive off it.

Dude, that is one of the best compliments I've ever received! It's sad, but not that many people I talk to know who Phillip Bond is, and he's so talented! Kind of Jamie Hewlett-ish.

Oh man, I've loved Philip Bond ever since reading Kill Your Boyfriend. He's an amazing illustrator.

My favorite piece is where the knees touch each other and almost seem like one <3
I love this.
