Is it me or are skirts ridiculously underutilized in costuming?
I absolutely loved Sin's Skadi outfit.
>>83863155
Skirts are a tool of the patriarchy and have been evil ever since names like [noun/adjective] girl went out of fashion.
That brief period where J'onn had four arms. It had the nice old school martian element to it that I liked.
Skirts limit the ability to draw the character as you can't really draw the character going through any movement that would cause the skirt to fall up or any angle that would show an upskirt. e.g. the character can't fall vertically or be grabbed by the ankle and yanked in a fight without it being sexual.
Even if you're not seeing any more than you would if the character was just wearing a leotard or whatever the fact that it's under a skirt makes it to some extent taboo.
I really like this costume.
>>83863155
It's for the same reason skintight costumes are the vogue. Cloth folds are hard to draw.
>>83863155
Pretty much like all her costumes honestly.
>>83863155
Unf I love this design
Sif's amazing too
Black Manta's design is so freaking cool.
She needs to make a comeback.
Best costume design ever coming through.
To bad nobody will ever use this Cyborg design. I bet he'd be much more popular if they did.
>>83864302
Skirts technically have been tools of patriarchies
>>83869706
Poor Cap. Unfrozen since the 60s and yet still so naive about certain things.
>>83870065
>cyborg with an actual haircut
Holy shit that's so much better instead of his stupid buzzcut
>>83863155
They're over-utilized. Woman wants to appear competent and professional..shows up wearing some bedroom role-play-looking shit that offers no protection and is distracting in a team situation. Bitch shows up dressed like she's looking for a fuck-buddy, not to protect the world.
>>83870065
Looks like shit, he's a CYBORG not BLACK DUDE WITH FUTURE ARMOR. Post the fucking screencap of that one anon explaining why the Teen Titans Animated Series Design is the only Cyborg Design to actually work.
>>83870155
Wait...didn't the new run of Cyborg get a bunch of his organic body back somehow?
>>83870148
If they just recolored this into blue and red earlier, so that stupid vagina plate never happened, it would've been great Supergirl costume.
>Starfire's hair will never be this poofy again
>>83870185
I don't get the hate for the plate. I even see people say call it a diaper and I just dont see it.
Though I do think the rebirth outfit is better even though she won't have short hair anymore
>>83863155
Always loved 90's Jean Grey, especially this one drawn by jim lee
>>83870185
Sometimes I'm meh on it and sometimes I think it's awful, changing depending on the artist.
I think a big part of it for me is the bottom part doesn't 'line up' with the blue swimsuit part so it really does look like she stuck a whole new piece of fabric there.
>>83870155
The Teen Titans series design looks like shit.
And cyborgs don't need to look like a Tin Man to prove they're cyborgs.
It shouldn't work, but it does.
>>83870091
How do you fuck up a simple design? What a ugly costume.
>>83868033
That is a great costume. It's like space knight, but fucked-up and changed and edgy enough that it's a perfect fit for Phylla-Vell's weird brand of space crusader/pilgrim/GotG stuff. The asymmetry in it really works.
I'm a sucker for these knightly superhero costumes actually. Guillotine in the CoC comics has a similar, but more boring, design. I guess Faiza Hussein also has something similar. Who else is there?
>>83870378
I dont know
he looks like he could be some mook in a random street gang
>>83870200
The TT cartoon took away so much of her design.
>straight hair
>not tall
>pupils
>rail thin
Why does nobody but Perez seem to understand how to draw her?
>>83870742
That always bothers me the most when people draw Starfire with pupils
Kinda wish they had used the yellow suit for an episode, or at least presented it and had Matt laugh it off as being tacky. But his actual suit is sexy.
>>83863155
Best Mary Marvel costume. Hopefully the white makes a return whenever the Shazamily actually get an ongoing.
>>83872136
>laugh it off as tacky
>can't even see it
>MCU Matt
>laughing at anything ever
Does not compute.
>>83872308
Like, he puts it on and can hear the barely contained laughter of his outfitter.
Also, MCU Matt laughs at ton of shit.
The original MCU Ant-Man suit is one of the very , very few live action suits I have zero complaints about. It has that perfect balance between practical and kind of goofy that gives it a sort of old-school sci-fi vibe while making it look feasible and functional.
The Civil War suit is okay, but the old one is definitely the better of the two.
>>83869706
>cap biting his lips
Thicc
>>83870041
Close but no cigar
>>83870200
god no.
>>83863155
Spider-Man (Unlimited)
Superman (Batman Beyond)
Bane (Justice League Doom)
>>83873560
>not liking poofy hair
how does it feel to be everything wrong with this world?
>>83863155
Best Spider-Suit imo.
I don't care, I whole heartedly vouch for this shit.
I dig the fishbowl helmet and eye symbols
>>83870091
Is this a joke?
Theres a lot I like about this Batman design; the short ears, the rectangular bat-logo, the Arkham style gauntlets/material. I know Bat-suits tend to have their strong/weak points, but this seems like a good middle ground
The mask is very intimidating, makes up for her frame
more female heroes should have full masks
Also hair coming out the back of the cowl is fucking stupid, this is the only batgirl costume I accept
>>83873174
I even like the logo
The old black bolt design
>>83873452
My nigga
>>83873995
Kate's costume is so based.
>>83874164
Both costumes here but especially Dickbats. Easily the best Batman costume ever.
>>83874188
Also this is the best design Lex Luthor's EVER had so far as I'm concerned.
>>83873957
I like Priest's take on the costume better. The gold and black really suits his look. But I do enjoy also his classic simpler costume.
>>83874285
>>83873957
>>83874285
>>83874299
If we're talking Black Panther costumes, then this is the GOAT.
>>83874371
>Power Ranger Panther w/ surfer necklace
The door please.
>>83874399
>the perfect fusion between traditional African aesthetics and modern suit design
>essentially summing up Afrofuturism in one shot
Door's over there, breh. I'm staying right where I am.
>>83870742
>>83871643
Starfire with green pupils is cute and works with her whole deal of being friendly and inviting. And you still have glowing eyes for when she tears things up.
>>83870742
this guy gets it
Shame she was just a one-off. Didn't she get killed off too?
I've always liked Stargirl's costume a lot. Don't ask me why.
>>83874454
You have to keep in mind the Priest costume did this, but also appeared more simplistically complex(If that makes sense). The Priest costume was heavily based on Ashanti styling. With their magnificent gold fashioning.
>tfw you think your original character has one of the best costume designs in all of capeshit but you don't wanna post it because you'd just be shilling for your comic
They need to stop trying to fix Peeg.
>>83874665
Go for it.
>>83874665
>liking your own design
you dont say
>>83874626
That's cool and all but I think I prefer the MCU version. It's more stylish imo, plus I've never really liked solid gold on Black Panther. It looks kinda tacky with the solid black imo.
>>83874715I didn't design it
>>83874665
you gotta post it now, man.
>>83873596
>>83873755
I want to fused these two together.
>she will never appear in comics again
;_;
>>83874665
>>83874715
>>83874783
Post it you dweeb, why bother mentioning it if you're not going to show it off?
Along with GL, the only New 52 costume design where the extra lines actually make sense.
>>83874784
Best mixture would probably just be Unlimited's mask on Last Stand's body, maybe give Last Stand dark blue gloves. A cape would kind of ruin Last Stand's jacket vibe.
>>83874916
i like unlimited symbol.
But it will look ugly on the jacket.
>>83874843
Its the queerest thing I ever saw. Why not just post it without giving us the backstory? People would have thought nothing of it and rated it normally.
>>83874843
Well ok, if you insist.
>>83866957
Put shorts under the skirt. I've been toying around with more feminine super hero outfits after seeing how Pre Cure make the girls look super cute and girly but still powerful at the same time. Jean Grey can fly and fights psionicly; Does she need to wear a skintight body suit or can she wear a dress of some sort?
>>83875001
>I was only pretending to be retarded
>>83874997
Yeah really, just man up and post your OC my guy.
>>83874892
I think part of it is having a god tier artist during the first run but yeah I too like the yellow lines. It helps break up the red.
>>83874747
The only problem I have with the MCU is I want a mask that he pulls onto his face when shit his the fan. It could have some future tech hardening into what we have now.
Fan art/redesigns are allowed here yes?
>>83875271
The style and all seems cute. The design itself if take out of the style seems like it'd be a bit bland but the style seems so simple that it might be more interesting design when more details are shown.
>>83875324
Sure why not.
This Medusa costume
I love Kamen Rider.
>>83875327
That's fair, it's meant to be more simplistic to match the style. Some people draw her more detailed though and it still works pretty well I think.
>>83875463
Not bad but maybe a bit more contrast in the tones. And I have a theory about basic leotards/bikini costumes needing to have the right acessories to work but I can't really think of anything that would fit this character to add on.
>>83875346
How is it that EMH STILL has the best Wasp design?
>>83875563
The black and gold bodysuit is the best Wasp design.
>>83875522
I don't like how technical it looks, but I do enjoy the jacket.
>>83870098
this looks really cool, who's the artist?
>>83875538
Yeah that's fair. I certainly don't think it's "the best design in history" but it fits the role of "super spy that happens to have stretchy powers" pretty well. I guess with a design so simple yet functional, it's a bit hard to add much else to it?
>>83873962
I really do like this design.
>>83874522
I like her without the pupils because its cuter, and remind me of how Alien she still is while having a human side. With pupils just comes off as weird to me
>>83875459
I like both Beetles for different reasons. I heard rumors of a movie in development and was curious on who theyd pick/handle it.
>>83870203
I don't like the costume, it draws attention to her vagina in a really awkward way. She needs a belt or something but just throwing a red triangle down there is so weird.
I love that art, though.
>>83875963
I know people debate the skirt/no skirt thing with Supergirl but why not just give her shorts?
>>83863155
Any full body suit with a starfield is okay in my book.
>>83875291
That's not a bad idea actually.
>>83868800
>Black Manta
>cool
>>83876065
Oh yeah, I really like this costume trope but you never see it all that often anymore.
>>83876092
Shit taste detected
I'm curious, what does /co/ think of my character's costume design?
It's cropped from a comic page so that's why she seems to be missing a foot.
>>83874371
>Make costume
>Completely miss the point of silly Wakanda stealth tech in plain sight
>>83876092
You shut your whore mouth.
>>83876114
I dislike the YJ version.
My ideal Black Manta suit would be slightly more tactical than pic related, kinda like a Navy SEAL or something. Something to suggest that he was all decked out for amphibious combat or something. But nothing TOO much more than the classic design, it's already almost perfect as it is.
>>83876264
Seems kinda Spider Girl, but really you should ask in the OC threads
I have always loved Alex Ross' Spidey suit
>>83870185
I have always found the knees of that suit stupid.
>>83874623
Because she is gold.
>>83868800
>>83876114
This one would be my pick. It's a bit overdesigned, but I like the visor. What do you think?
>>83876264
Meh, kinda generic. Not ugly but nothing I'd really take note of.
>>83876345
I dislike any version of Black Manta where the neck is as long as it is there because it doesn't even really make sense.
Body's fine though, if overdesigned.
>>83875463
That design is shit. Terrible silhouette and the color palate is too limited. If I had to sum it up in six words, they would be: Simple, and not the good kind.
>>83876264
The head looks like the generic female costume from the 80/90s
If you need to work on any part, start reworking on the head.
>>83876289
Its hard to reinvent the classic Manta look but I like what YJ did. The shape is still very reminiscent of the old design yet it also reminds you of a manta ray or shark too. I think the round head looks better with the air tubes
>>83876345
Overall its fine but I dont care for the visor. Personally I like Manta with 2 separate lenses on the helmet
Love Kris Anka's Captain America. Way better than the shit we have right now.
So much better than the one he got in Sinestro
>>83876114
>>83876289
>daddy issues key element of his personality
>goal and resolve is a result of his daddy issues
>cool
>>83875907
Other than you forgetting about Dan Garrett you filthy heretic, you do have good taste.
Most of the time armor redesigns are tacky (i.e. fucking Superman), but in your pic related it's beautiful and now my favorite Ted Kord.Also, Blue and Gold movie when?
>>83876949
You literally just described Batman
>>83876949
Wasn't that a Geoff Johns retcon?
Honestly as much as I love Black Manta and everything Johns did for Aquaman, I don't like that aspect of his run. I thought it was kinda lame and typical.
>>83874256
Thanks doc.
Perhaps my favorite Sinestro design
>>83870185
>>83877011
The differences is that Batman isn't overly obsess over a specific individual.
>>83877277
I don't care what anyone says, this costume is really good aside from the neck.
>>83877291
>What is the Joker
Manta is essentially the Captain Ahab of DC so I think it works.
I really like Laura's Wolverette costume.
Wondy's rebirth outfit is pretty much GOAT.
It's introduction was botched though.
>>83877621
You're the only one.
I don't even like Taskmaster, but this is legit one of the best designs ever.
Wally's new Flash outfit I think is better than the current flash costume.
>>83877735
thank you for adding the conversation
>>83877741
Can't wait for MCU Taskmaster.
Zatanna is pretty much timeless.
>>83877820
I really like this, but I think it'd work more during when he lost his healing factor.
>>83877735
No, he's not.
>>83870203
>I don't get the hate for the plate. I even see people say call it a diaper and I just dont see it.
CHASTITY BELT!
>>83877976
Just because he can take the punishment doesnt mean he'd want to. There comes a point where you get tired of bullets falling out of you
If we got a Superior Spider-Man Vol. 2 I'd want this outfit.
>>83878054
That doesn't make sense either.
>>83878091
I think the main issue is that it draws your eye directly to her crotch area
>>83878087
add the otto eyes and we're good
>>83870742
>>83870200
>>83873667
There's a reason it went out of style. Stop trying to be ironic.
I dont know what it is with artists trying to make Green Lanterns costume look biological. When live action Hal comes around again, just give him something like the Injustice costume
>>83878087
Otto did know how to dress
>>83873452
An acceptable alternative, but I prefer a longer cape.
>>83878140
It's how she distracts her enemies.
>>83877976
My nigga.
Zee's design is perfection.
>>83878183
>I dont know what it is with artists trying to make Green Lanterns costume look biological
It's different, makes more sense in context in that its created using an alien ring, and it isn't stupid fucking leotards with white gloves?
>>83878182my gf loves Starfire's 80s curly, puffy, hair
>>83878252
>makes more sense in context in that its created using an alien ring
None of the other constructs it makes look like that
>>83878252
Well the opera gloves can be dropped and I was mostly referring to the alt costume. Im just not a fan of the muscle look because it looks odd and the ring always covered the body, not fuse with it
>>83878252
>makes more sense
Name one time changing a costume to have it make sense didn't result in the costume looking worse than normal.
>>83878182
It went out of style because people lost their taste.
stop trying to deny the world the poof.
>>83878375
>someone deactivates your ring and everyone knows your identity.
>>83878651
Its not like the mask did much anyway
>>83878651
>laughingGuyandJohn.jpg
Hal is a huge dork
>>83877760
It looks fine when it's drawn by absolutely anyone else but Booth.
I think the biggest problem with it as a design is Wally's red hair and the red of the mask not really playing nice with each other.
I think unmasked Ultron-Pym looks awesome.
>>83878817
>It looks fine when it's drawn by absolutely anyone else but Booth.
You're actually right, damn.
>>83878941
Booth is a shit artist that makes everything look metallic and pointy. He also has a bad case of sameface. At least he was a good sign on when to drop the Flash book
>>83879046
In his design sheets, he even insists that Wally's new suit has to look "shiny" and "reflective." As an overall design, it's mixing Kid Flash and Flash and that's all fine and dandy, but it has to have the right artist attached who knows how to make it work.
So, not Booth.
>>83879213
I kind of get where he's coming from, trying to convey that sports car feel, its just that he cant translate it well
>>83878817
>>83879046
They should just give Wally a jacket.
>>83879789
Worked for Guy. Also I think Wally looks better with goggles
>>83864532
> after transformation hear his prayer in Kermit the Frog's voice
welp
>>83870378
thumb looks like feel guy
>>83876264
hey liefeldianabomination, long time no see
I just finished reading the entire run earlier today but I have to say the design is forgettable, perhaps because of the color choices.
Also
> secret identity
> open gloves leaving fingerprints everywhere
>>83872308
wouldn't he just be able to tell the guy is lying when he wrongly describes the suit to him?
Pretty much every single Night Girl version looks top class. Except for the Vampirella sling bikini version from the late 70s and early 80s.
>>83881476
also that headless costume on the left is Gary Frank's design. I really like his art and how he draws Superman but some of his faces look absolutely horrible, including that Night Girl one, so I cut it away.
I feel like the only one that really likes Mera's design. I prefer the longer sleeves as well.
>>83882779
Most people agree Mera's design is great.
>>83882813
You never really hear anyone talk about it.
>>83882779
Its fine but I feel like it needs something to break up the design to not appear like a jumpsuit. A belt maybe?
>>83882858
Because they're too busy fapping.
>>83882866
Might you like the sleeveless variant then?
>>83882890
For real. Bitch got my dick diamonds throughout Johns' run. Christ.
>>83883006
Thats fine too I suppose. Again its not a bad design its just that it it may need something to break up the green
>>83883051
I see what you mean but I think she'sfine.
>>83881476
>top left
>all those beehive hair designs
Give that bitch some glasses and she'd be a dead ringer for Bayonetta.
>>83880369
Oh FUCK you, that's all I hear now.
>>83883502
bee-hive hair night girl is best night girl
>>83880369
damn you!
