Description
First three Guardians: Edmund, Steppenwolf, and Moonwatcher, for my Brotherhood of Guardians redesign project. Also part of my Sonic characters' families project, for Knuckles. Based on these: [link]

Gonna move this to scraps after I get some feedback from you guys.

Edmund's outfit is mostly based on his scientist lab coat, only tribal-ized. It's really hard to make out here, but the top is Nocturnus-style armor, only white, and the bottom is just a fancy tail cape. He's wearing a helmet with blue glasses over his eyes, based off of his original glasses and tech-looking-thing-connected-to-his-glasses.

What I want: I want Nocturnus elements (because it's a plot point in their history in my faniverse, that the Nocturnus based their culture around him), I want him to have red hair like Knuckles, and I want him to look authoritative and cool and very Atticus Finch. If you don't think I got all those things, please let me know what you think I could do to get them across better.

Pretty happy with the outfit, I'm just concerned about the headgear and that he doesn't really look Edmund-ish. I want to incorporate the glasses in a better way, but I can't figure out how to make them look tribal or Atlantis-y.

Steppenwolf's not really different from the original, since I actually don't mind the original Steppenwolf design. All I did was shorten the hair so he didn't look like a Knuckles clone, and give him tribal/empirical clothing to fit the SEGAverse. It doesn't show up here, but he's going to have black eyebrows like he does originally, since those are a key feature that needs to stay.

What I want: I want Steppenwolf's outfit to look a little bit lower-tech than Edmund's, since his generation had less resources to create elaborate clothes from. My biggest thing was changing his hair to differentiate from Knuckles more. I want to maintain his father's authority, but have Steppenwolf more ragged-looking, since he's had to work harder than his father did in his lifetime.

I'm happy with his hairstyle, and head in general. I'm wavering on the clothes, since they fit the style and progress from Edmund to Moonwatcher fine, but just seem... off. I also haven't decided what colors to use for him.

Moonwatcher's based off the design I already uploaded, which I liked, but, as someone pointed out, he didn't look Moonwatcher-y enough. So, as lulzy as it sounds, I went back and tried to put in MORE Geordi Laforge, since I think I took too much out. I mostly maintained the look he had from my previous design, but rearranged the clothes so that they looked more like the Star Trek uniforms. I colored one part of the sash yellow, and the other part black, and now he looks a lot like Geordi without being embarrassing.

What I want: I want him to invoke some of the Star Trek vibe that he originally had, but make it so it wasn't an obvious rip off. It may seem weird that I got rid of the visor, but I didn't want him to be Geordi the Echidna. Just be more of a source of inspiration than a copy. I also want him to look like a storyteller, since he's blind and maintains the history of the Echidnas.

I'm pretty okay with this one and don't have any quips with it yet. But I'm open to suggestions if you have any.

So, yeah. Scrap these later, I just want to hear your opinions on them before I go any further with them. In the meantime, I'll go work on the next three.
