fucking tenouttaten taste, you guys.
I am also fond of the classic x-men outfit. While 90s may have been peak, this was a solid foundation. minus the cowls.

>>149220305
Thanks

The big derpy eyes going into the helmet is such good, fun stylisation. Really makes this design stand out.

>>149219598 (OP)
>>149220331
Action was so underrated. Obviously it was weighed up against the giant of Justice League (Unlimited), but it was still a lot of fun and the art style was equally as distinctive and cool.

>>149220848
I was turned off by how light and kiddy it was, but every time people post a scene, I realize they were obviously putting some work into making it legit.. I feel like I'd much rather watch it than ever rewatch The Batman.

>>149219598 (OP)
red x from teen titans, so simple yet so fucking badass.

>>149220941
2D or 3D the suit will look good, simplicity is power here.

>>149220960
no matter the angle, red x looks pretty good, impressive for 2003.

>>149220992
>>149220960
>>149220941
ehhh if I can nitpick.. his small, round cranium makes him look kind of pinheaded. he's got a pingpong ball noggin. and the round skull mask doesn't help that at all, gives the impression of a receding hairline. In contrast to his narrowed eyes that are badass
lemme just make one quick tweak
okay I gave three options.. notched mask top, flat mask top, and then elongated mouth, very reduced mask top, and improved cranium shape. though I realize this now makes it way too obvious it's Robin.

>>149221443
eh, the 3 are alright.
but you could totally have gone the gray fox route and make the entire head a skull.
it gives the design a better contrast with the suit design.

>>149221747
yeah that's the other way to do it
skulls naturally have a nice boxy top that's incapable of not looking badass
i get that this is just the style for teen titans, lots of apple-headed-chihuahua heads, but... I can't help but fix what looks wrong to me.

>>149221747
now that I think about it, the whole red x suit would actually been better if the head part was a skull helmet of sorts with technology inside to aid robin or whoever wears it to detect stuff they won't see.
infrared and ultraviolet vision being a must.

>>149221770
and thats a good thing anon, a proper design goes a long way with people like you seeing issues like that.
you can iron out details and make the final product better.

>>149221859
too right. if the entire thing sucks, you have no idea what to fix. If it's almost perfect, the issues will jump out at you.

Here's some Red X redesigns that I found if that's helps.

>>149222384
neat. but only the first really looks like the character / has Robin's build. and it's the weakest mask of the four.

Some of my favorite Shocker designs that only has full mask on.

He looked sicker than the Peter Jackson version, shame about the voice though.

>>149222747
would definitely be interested in knowing the backstory of the toothy and multi-armed ones.

>>149220305
The classic uniforms definitely have longevity for a reason, but I've always preferred the First Class redesign and wish that look had caught on.

>>149222684
That's not a character design you dumbfuck it's just a standardized anachronistic outfit but you can't see the head. The thread's not about pictures you think are neat it's specifically about character designs.

>>149223780
you like the beltless X huh? looks like a womb tattoo to me

>>149219598 (OP)
>Big Barda (ROUGH)
yes

Armada Prime is unique and underrated

>>149220331
It's the hair

>>149220848
It was just a simple fun show. Nice and short. Booster was a riot.

>>149223800
I just think he looks cool

>>149224114
the hair definitely helps with the often-unfortunate tiara-forehead problem

I said this in another thread and while this isn't my favorite design,if you're not gonna have the trunks just making the belt yellow goes light years in making the design still work well.

>>149222622
Beat me to it

>>149224309
absolutely, red belt was the dumbest thing they could have done when removing the trunks.

>>149222384
try a robin build with a full skull helmet, the gray fox is whats gonna make this work.

>>149224663
this shit still scares me.

>>149224663
what part of this design do you like? seems pretty.. random and unpleasant to me. like the torso part is nice, i'd like that on a regular woman..

>>149223800
You retard.

>>149224883
The part that hides and reveals she's a spider creature underneath

>>149225119
see now that is a way cooler design..
wait the comic has actual nips?

>>149222622
>Make him cool in the cartoon
>In the movie he basically just coughs a lot
What did they mean by this?

>>149225194
>wait the comic has actual nips?
You have no fucking clue dude
The amount of raw smut made me hesitant to recommend Saga to a friend of mine until I found out what she read on AO3

>>149225270
you have friends who are bothered by nipples? does she shut her eyes when she showers?

>>149225344
No Anon, I'm talking about moments like a later issue having a two page thread of a giant dragon sucking his own cock

>>149225373
in a western comic? seriously? how is it published??

>>149225392
>how is it published??
Even BKV was surprised but yeah, Saga's fucking filthy and was also a big deal when it came out.

>>149225392
>in a western comic?
Have you seen the stuff the Europeans put out?

>>149224557
Honestly it just seems really obvious

>>149221443
The mask is fine as is.

>>149225235
The cartoon made something really cool but didn't really understand the point of the character which was to be a reflection of Vader's cyborg aspect.

>>149225549
only in cartoony, newspaper-comic-strip art styles. not like this with very distinctly american typesetting and everything
>>149225935
theeerre you are. I was worried.

>>149225978
>theeerre you are. I was worried.
I don't know what you're referencing.

>>149219598 (OP)
Laira from Green Lantern: Emerald Knights.

>>149226844
Just that your opinion usually shows up sooner when I want to redesign something.

>>149224981
fuck off

>>149226853
>see character in off shoot media: They're rad as hell
>See source material: BRALRAGALG DEAD

>>149219598 (OP)
Barda is such a solid, great design. Every artist can emphasize what they like about it, slightly tweak it, and it still can be identified as the Big B.

Forever the GOAT, no matter what anyone else says.

>>149227142
I read a novel with him in it.. It makes no sense on a bunch of counts, but I did like seeing more mutants whose powers kinda fuck them up and give them a lot of powers and drawbacks at the same time. Also had this chick who was like, made of black hole, so she would crush anything she touched, and another girl uhh Husk I think? who could make her skin into anything but lost her clothes in the process (hell yes. fuck unstable molecules) and at one point turns herself into diamond so she can give the poor black hole chick a hug, since she never gets any hugs. and like, the diamond is still cracking and chipping off of her, but she's fine.
>>149227189
that is.. a very interesting costume.. so the idea is that his red parts are like a spider giving him a hug?

>>149226866
We've never met.
Or you mean conceptually, someone is bound to disagree with you.

>>149226919
I think Laira's been dead longer than she was alive at this point

>>149227189
love the House of M costume

>>149219598 (OP)
I love the cape and tails combo

>>149224663
>>149225119
I feel like it would have worked better with arms. The leg reveal would still have worked.

>>149227761
She's called the Stalk for a reason
Giving her arms would also distract from the surprise reveal that's she's spider-like and having be armless not only be more alien but also evokes Venus de Milo vibes

>>149227726
Tails?

>>149227330
All green Lantern should wear leotard

>>149227133

>>149230015
Take the second design and see shoulder pads.

you might not like it but to me this is peak design.

hmmm look at that pelvis, those thighs

>>149224663
Nice nipple

>>149230839
Hey, that’s my handiwork! Thanks

The one thing I truly liked about The Ultimate Universe was the design of the Iron Man suit. Not the look itself, the helmet looked pretty weird, but the fact that they made it big enough to actually fit an adult male inside and actually had to be serviced like a fighter jet before and after missions to replenish fuel and ammo. It really set Stark apart from all the other heroes not just because of the silhouette, with him being bigger than regular people instead of having a skintight metal armour in the shape of muscles, but also in the way he couldn't just keep on fighting like they did, he had a set timeline before he had to go back to base or risk crashing it. It's probably the best choice they made for the UU and it's sad that the idea will never be used again. They even abandoned it in favour of a skintight suit in the later UU issues, IIRC. Cowards.

>>149219598 (OP)
I know some people hate his white navy outfit, but it looks clean. I also like how baggy it is.

>>149219598 (OP)
I know some people hate his white navy outfit, but it looks good. I also like how baggy it is.

Amazing how such a few simple additions turns the classic suit into a completely new beast.

>>149220848
People suck for not giving it a chance at the time, but the network is really the one to blame. I rewatched it recently and it's a blast, there are also some even shorter episodes, I need to watch to those at some point.

>>149229100
coattails. that kind of split-back coat.

>>149224309
Yep, it balances it nicely.

>>149232105
yeah it's annoying how allergic they've historically been to making IM mechanical, but I get it.. in the old days, the artists were trained to draw naked muscular people and -that's it-
you could bullshit a chestplate okay, but everything else had to just look like metallic spandex and boots and gloves

>>149219598 (OP)
I'm a sucker for purple Catwoman, green cape looks nice.

>>149235323
i like how they kinda just reused that for Huntress after it no longer suited Catwoman

>>149225235
The coughing and him being hunched over were there to make him seem less of a droid and look more organic. I really like how the cartoon incorporated it. He didn't naturally have that hunch but it was a thing he did just so he'd be at eye level with everyone else, which then accentuated his height and made him look even more imposing when he stood up straight as he towered over everyone. Unironically just one of the many details that makes the cartoon design specifically a phenomenal villain design

>>149230092
The full beard is good.
But...

>>149235445
>Dorito

>>149234112
I'm sick of how they don't even make him beefier and taller than someone like Hawkeye. He should be towering over Cap, with arms twice as big, but instead he's just the same size as every other guy on the page and it just makes things so fucking boring-looking.

>>149220941
Such a good design DC made him canon to the comics and immediately fucked him up. Harley Quinn would be proud.

>>149236490
well there's only one 'right' way to do a power armor suit, and that is to be short and bulky, with unpleasantly narrow shoulders.

>>149227255
>so the idea is that his red parts are like a spider giving him a hug?
Essentially. He was rarely posed in a way to properly show it off, I've always appreciated the thought that went into it.

>>149236692
well I can see two key problems with it
one is that the thing on his chest looks like a separate head, with a NECK. the other is that the legs appear to be coming out of the spider's abdomen

>>149225235
In the context of the cartoon, a warning to how dangerous the Jedi can be. Grievous had trounced multiple Jedi only thanks to Dooku's teachings (and his unorthodox fighting style). The second he struck a pose instead of booking it when Windu showed up, he instantly got his ribcage crunched in.

>>149236899
also wasnt the idea in the movie that he was still recovering from his wounds in the cartoon?

>>149236725
It is a little more abstract than maybe necessary, but like I said, I appreciate the thought behind it and wish the idea was used more (outside of fanart, of course).

>>149237007
yeah the thought is good. I'm sure there's a way to make it work
though probably still better to do like Mayday and Ben and have the BLACK spider symbol have the huge spider legs.. even if you do it backwards so it's reaching around you still.

>>149236978
Other way around. The animation team was only allowed to do season 2, provided they lead into the movie, which had already determined that he would be coughing a lot because the actor was actually sick during his voice recordings.

>>149219598 (OP)
>the white/light gray cape
>the gem belt/cape connector
Bold decisions were made and they work

>>149237119
He coughed a lot to mirror Vader's iconic breathing

>>149237348
There's an interview with Grievous's voice actor that says otherwise. He showed up sick after a flight and George just went with it.

>>149237119
so they wrote him an excuse to be less badass
>>149237296
huh i dont think i know this guy

>>149237296
He looks stupid as shit. It's an awful look, like he's gay Spawn or something. The Kingdom Come design is a massive improvement.

>>149237455
>half the pottery is accidental
Shocking

>>149237489
and now i'm wishing i hadn't looked him up
>>149237528
that's just spider-man noir. the only thing that makes it not that one same design we've seen a gorillion times is the capelet. capelets are cool.

>>149237528
Anon, that's just The Shadow.

Ross thought he was being cute when he made their shadow guy look like The Shadow.

>>149230015
Jade really did look like shit with all those designs. She can't have a green outfit because that would be too much green.

>>149230857
The fake swearing is tacky

>>149237632
she should have the dark bluish-green green from JL
I think they chose that to contrast better with the electric lime green of the powers

>>149220992
>impressive for 2003
I don’t even know what this statement is supposed to mean

>>149221443
These look terrible.

>>149222384
First one is good s a more detailed version of the normal costume but the rest are over-designed ass juice.

>>149224309
>If you’re not gonna have the trunks
Then don’t make a Batman or Superman project.

>>149238299
if only that was how it worked

>>149226971
Im so sick of people giving their drawings red noses. Where did this start and why is it so ubiquitous no matter the art style?

>>149230857
Goddamn I hate how barda is written these days

>>149237546
Kingdom Come came out more than a decade before Spider-Man noir retard, both just look like the shadow.

>>149238312
it's a thing that happens to some people. especially drunks.
>>149238346
what did you think I meant by "that same design we've seen a gorillion times"
the shadow, that other guy, that one guy who's the shadow except his trenchcoat is red.. the phantom before he had the onesie.. they were all like that.

>>149238366
>Thats just spider-man noir
Implies it came before. Either admit you misspoke or admit you’re esl. Which is it?

>>149238649
i was using spider-man noir as shorthand for uncreative noir hero designs who are all the same, going back to the 30s. Which is why I went on about 'that same design' which obviously now i'm going back further than 2009.

God, jump down a guy's throat for being a little inarticulate. a smackerel of good faith assumption would have cleared that entire thing up

>>149238804
>for being a little inarticulate
Because you misspoke and still refuse to just say that.

>>149238877
the irony. right, i'm the one refusing to admit a mistake

>>149238985
What mistake did I make, retard? Anon said he liked the obsidian design from KC which came out in 1996. You replied it looks like a design from a comic that didn’t come out until 2009, rather than the design it actually drew inspiration from which is the same thing spider-man noir was influenced by.

>>149239141
i love BMO so much

>>149239097
I literally just explained that that isn't what happened, while admitting I didn't phrase it very well. It was one thing to make the mistake the first time, but to continue to INSIST that I MUST have been saying what you interpreted.. definitely a woman.

>>149239141
Cute little Gameboy nigga.

>>149238366
the phantom and the phantom stranger are two different characters anon

Hajime Sorayama's Iron Man.

>>149241759
Bigger. Because holy crap that's gorgeous.

>>149238312
It seems to be a Tumblr thing and it goes with that simplified art style. If you were drawing a character, you would make the nose shape a slightly darker and pinker version of the base skintone and then over time, artists copied each other and it got more exaggerated to where all of the characters had pinkish or reddish noses even if it wasn't that simple Tumblr style. It looks especially jarring on more photorealistic styles because it looks like the character is either drunk or has really bad allergies.

>>149241904
When Sorayama isn't drawing horny gynoid robots he drops gems like this.

>>149219598 (OP)
it is a solid design. Plas is timeless though

Every other Raven design DC does is awful, I don't know why they won't just go back to the dress and cloak.

>>149242569
New 52 Raven was a good design, just really terrible for Raven.

It would've been real cool for a new villain.

>>149241775
The Judge uniform absolutely should not work with all those clashing design elements, but by some miracle its iconic. Same as these handsome chaps - 45 years over a handful of appearences and only one major-ish stylistic change in all that time.

>>149243156
The second iteration of his costume is so iconic.

I like the no-face burning skin look of the Human Torch more than the Johnny on fire look.

>>149243758
Why was he on fire?

>>149219598 (OP)
The best

>>149244420
>Why was he on fire?
Because it's not always cool to be cool.

>>149220941
Was he Jason Todd?

My waifu of course

>>149246165
She carried that show on her generously proportioned back

>>149246209
That she did, and its easy to see why.

>>149242569
Same reasons that motivates the cape comic industry at large: spite and pride.

Shredder's design peaked with this.

>>149246770
this anon gets it.
