Description Some of you may remember that until recently, I used to draw Wonder Woman quite frequently . The reason I became obsessed with the character is that I didn't think too highly of her "classic" costume, and thought it could be improved, which I tried to do, again and again.

After a while, it was no longer fun, but I still enjoyed drawing superhero fanart, so I decided to focus on Batgirl instead. I have no problem with Batgirl's costume. In fact, in my opinion, the character has had at least three very good costume designs (the Carmine Infantino design, the Batman '66 design and the Cassandra Caine Batman), and there's no need to improve on them. So my motivation this time is quite different. There's something irresistible with the combination of the words "bat" and "girl", and although I'll be posting straight-up redesigns, such as this one, I'll also draw things which stray further away from the character as it is usually portrayed. And even when I post regular redesigns, I'll be tinkering with styles and techniques, which is why this Batgirl in particular has those big blue eyes.

the outfit and body are cool, but the eyes are just disturbing...

It's an esthetical choice, I agree that it's not entirely convincing.

Excellent work, as always. The suit even has a hint of Nightwing in it.

Discarding the cape seems like a good choice to me-- looks great, but would limit her when it comes to action, so this seems super practical. Also, love the costume design-- great color scheme!

There will be costume variants with and without capes. There will even be non-costume costumes.

Well, then I'll be especially looking forward to the second option, my friend.

I've just counted: out of the 17 Batgirls I've drawn so far, nine have capes.

Batgirl, huh?  Well, as long as you incorporate purple into the mix, I'm happy.  Very '67 TV show Batgirl, only with some nice modern touches.

I've drawn 17 Batgirls so far, and there's a lot of purple coming ahead.
