Project Rooftop's latest redesign contest is focused on Image Comics' popular teen hero Invincible. I decided to contribute something, despite the fact I knew next to nothing about the character or his book. To prep, I mostly just read the Wikipedia entry on him and looked at different images on deviantART one afternoon. After all that intensive research, I whipped up the design you see above.

I had a couple of ideas: One, I wanted to make him look like more of a superhero, because why not. These are superhero comics; why can't someone wear a cape and their underwear on the outside while fighting fifty foot robot monkeys? (I may have been dealing with some of my anger over the new costumes for many DC heroes, including Superman, with this design) Two, since he's apparently always getting the living shit kicked out of him (he had his intestines ripped out during one battle) I thought it would be good for Invincible to have some armor. But I wanted that armor to look kind of futuristic and sleek as well. Don't ask me how it all stays on his body. It's just Alien Magic Science.
