Supergirl by Faith Erin Hicks
Done doing these so here they all are in one place! Fully Dressed Redesigns of Superheroines.
Point of this: An exercise in character design, attempting to clothe the heroines nearly all the way and not making them painted-on, while still keeping the look of their original costumes in some way. Hopefully keeping them looking as iconic as the originally were. Just showing what can be done with a costume breaking outside the barrier of the norm.
NOT the point of this: some moral code I’m trying to push on you
Sorry if there was a character you wanted me to do that I didn’t get to!
I really like these. :)
Personally, I’ve never had a problem with Supergirl wearing a skirt or Wonder Woman showing her legs (in fact I love the Supergirl skirt, as long as it’s not a frilly belt), or etc, but I was really impressed by this. They really do look very recognizable and keeping to their iconic aesthetic “feel”. The Vampirella one really impresses me because it looks like it fits her so well, and yet is such a change from what she normally wears.
My only thing would be I’m not sure if the brown pants work on Wonder Woman. I really love the Supergirl and Power Girl designs. :3
(Credit to sugarfiendgfx for showing me this.)
I kinda love some of these, but not all. I’ve never quite embraced the idea of closing up Power Girl’s boob window, since she’s always owned it, but I do love the almost military styling of her costume here. And I wouldn’t claim that some of these designs are any more practical than the classics, and in some ways less so, but there’s some delightfully deft touches here at seeing how far you can push a design and still have it suitably recognizable.
Finally got to become my hero Supergirl this past weekend at Katsucon. I adore Kara so much, I’m so happy I finally got to cosplay her. *3*
