Wonder Woman redesigns









I really really like these last two:

*blink* Am I crazy, or does the second-to-last one look like Robin from How I Met Your Mother?

(I actually think the third redesign is my favourite.)

I frigging love the middle one and the second-last one. I think they're personal canon now.

The middle one actually showed up when Diana takes down the Chinese army, from memory

I like the first one, but it needs colored better. Likewise the "live" picture, but the skirt/armor needs to be longer.

I don't like the third one with the completely animal face of Cheetah at all.

The rest is good.

Nice art style, but I'm not a fan of the first one, which makes her look like a Valkyrie sponsored by the USSR.

The second last one is very Xena-ish, but I think it works, would like to see in in a comic style too, rather than photoshop.

I really love that top design, but it just doesn't seem too Amazonian. It looks more nordic, to me, as if Diana were a valkyrie, or something along those lines.

And I can't get behind either version of Cheetah, somehow. The former reminds me a little too much of the redesigns of Sonic the Hedgehog and his supporting cast when Sonic Adventure was first announced, and looks like she could be slotted in there as a new, irate villain, and the latter makes me think of Alex Ross' idea for the Priscilla Rich (I think she was the version that featured in Justice) version of Cheetah, which I loved, but this one just doesn't work for me, somehow. I think the leathers and stuff work against her almost as much as the cheetah-skin pants she's been wearing as of late.

Maybe it's because I've been watching Babylon 5 lately, but the 'live' picture looks abit like Delenn

Not so sure about the Cheetah images, but all of the Wonder Woman ones are spectacular. The first one looks less Amazon and more Valkyrie, though. I blame the helmet. Would be awesome if there was an Amalgam-verse where Wonder Woman and Thor were spliced, though. Middle scan one of Diana is, like, my favorite battle outfit I've seen her in in canon (she wore it to fight Medusa). The realistic one is also damn awesome. Last picture is pretty, but hard to distinguish a few of the details of the outfits... but I think my favorite of those is the second one counting from left to right.

These are all great, although Drew Johnson's second Cheetah design seems to take place in some weird alternate universe where Kate Moss became the Cheetah.

I like the 2nd to last one-- it actually looks like it could function as armor.

The last one's nice too-- although Donna doesn't use a lasso at this time and Cassie does. I also like how Polly's armor is the most detailed and ornate of the five, as something befitting a Queen of Themyscira.

Ooh, I've seen the second to last one before, but still love it. However, I've NEVER seen the last one, and it's BEAUTIFUL. Is the last person supposed to be Artemis? I love her expression.

I also like the first Cheetah redesign. The second one is...whaaaehhh...but the Medusa Armor always gets love.

The first one is like, "I'm here for my date with Thor."

The live-action one is cool.

Maybe I'm missing something, but what's so redesign about Cheetah in the second picture? It looks more like revert except for maybe the nose.

huh. the tag for Hippolyta has her name misspelled.

I love how a consensus seems to be forming around the Xena-esque armor skirt and greek warrior look, which is something I've advocated for for years. I agree with what others have said about how the first design is really gorgeous but doesn't look amazonian enough for Diana, and how the "live" pic is also beautiful but needs a longer skirt more like the other pics.

One thing I want to point out about the Drew Johnson WW pic is that the outfit is just about dead-on perfect, but like most other times she's appeared in armor in canon it's too busy. The Perez armor insisted on giving her a flag cape and cap shield, the Kingdom Come design had the eagle wings and helmet, and this one has her carrying half a bloody arsenal strapped to her. How many weapons does she need? It looks bulky and cluttered. I'm fine with the short sword on her side, but the rest of it needs to go, including the helmet and shield. It's just too much.

On the subject of weapons though, who here hates the lasso? It makes no sense for a greek warrior, and is an obvious callout to Marston's bondage obsession. As has been joked, it often seems that Wonder Woman carries her own rope as a courtesy to her enemies so that they always have something to tie her up with. I'd like to see it go.

I also wonder how we can have a character with the name of Diana, moon goddess of the hunt, without a bow? Amazons in myth were archers of legendary skill, and Diana is named for the goddess of the bow. How archery got dropped from the concept in the first place is baffling, I think it's long overdue it was added back.

All in all, this is some great stuff. I only hope DC is paying attention.

Sweet Athena that last one is gorgeous. I particularly love Diana's torc, and Artemis.

That last one looks great. I love the crescent moons on Donna's tiara. And Cassie has bracers!

What's that on Diana's neck?

The last one makes it look like they're all on a team called the Wonder Women. I'd prefer a bit more differences between their costumes (for instance, Cassie is an honorary Amazon, so her wearing more contemporary clothes would make sense, and Artemis is a Bana, so she might have full Kevlar body armor in a sleek advanced-Themyscrian-tech sort of way), because as it stands, it'd be easy for them to be indistinguishable from each other. In full-on art, you can tell them apart by the costume details, the physiques, and the face/hair colors, but in crowd scenes, they could easily get lost.

I really don't get the skirt thing. If anything, Diana needs pants.

Whatever. I have no problem with the bathing suit . . . as the base of her outfit. She's just in workout clothes. When she's doing serious ass-kicking (barefoot ass-kicking is different), then she hops into her armor.

Which she keeps in her invisible plane.

Which works like the Bug, or the flying Batcave.

And can transform into a mech.

Aaron "The Mad Whitaker" Bourque; because that's what Diana needs. That's what everyone needs.

The last two are definitely gorgeous. Only a pair of minor critiques: the first one could use a couple extra lamellae at the sides of the thighs, and Artemis looks a little skinny in the second one.

But that first Cheetah pic...ugh.

Someone was on /co/ last night! :D

Also love all of these WW redesigns (especially minarho's Wonder family).

As for Cheetah, Drew Johnson's redesign kind of scares me, too realistic Cheetah face on a woman's body creeps me the shit out of me.
