DC remix: Flash

With a name like Flash, the character should be flashy, with a hint of cocky attitude.

 

When starting this design, right off the bat I did not want a logo on his chest. I'm not a fan of chest logos, and I try to avoid them when possible. The ears, hands, and shoe treads are a different material of gold so that when he runs only those parts would leave a gold lightning streak behind.

 

The overall red/crimson is shinier than usual because, once again, he is flashy. 

DC remix: Aquaman

My version of Aquaman is very disconnected from the land. He spends most of his time under water in his kingdom of Atlantis, so that is why he has very pale skin.

 

He had his hand chopped off, so since he has the ability to control water, he has a liquid fist on himself now that he can telepathically mold into anything, as well as change the density of it.

 

Overall, no more pretty boy looks, instead, he has the "don't test me" appearance.

DC remix: Batman

Batman is supposed to be extremely intimidating in the dark, so I made his entire costume extremely black. I don't know why he always had a yellow belt, but I personally thought that looked bad and took away from his design purpose. Also, I made his eyes be hidden behind dark lenses, and the mouth opening have a scarier silhouette with teeth... Super scary! Since his design is very dark, I've also uploaded a WIP and outline versions so it's easier to see the detailed armor. (right)

DC remix: Superman

No red undies! No red boots! No standard "S" logo on the chest!

 

I tried making his costume very modern and simplistic, but remain very close to the original design so it's still very much Superman. I also ditched the slick hair and pretty boy face. I designed him to look like a man who uses his fists, sharp cheek bones, iron jaw, and over-exaggerated biceps that mean business.

DC remix: Green Lantern

Since Green Lantern has an alien ring that is the source of his power, I decided to step away from his "human made" looking costume, and have him "wear" something that couldn't be produced on Earth. So with this new outfit, I tried to make it look like a window to the live and moving galactic energy.

 

Also, I thought that it would've been pointless for him to just have a little mask over his eyes and the rest of the head showing. Ryan Reynolds was still recognizable when he had his mask on in the live action movie, so why risk it...

DC remix: Wonder Woman

First of many DC redesigns to come, the leading lady, the Amazon goddess, Wonder Woman.

I really love design, as you can tell by my site being filled with mostly concept art and not that many fancy illustrations. Enough people ask what my thought process is behind some of my designs, so here is what went through my head with this one...

 

Personally, I really dislike her costume. First off, I was going to go with a 3 color scheme instead of the original 4 (red, blue, white, and gold). I thought having the white with all the rest was unnecessarily too much, so it got the boot. Another element that had to go was the diaper with all the white stars, too busy, too distracting, it gets the boot. However, those stars are a part of the character, so I still had to sneak them in somehow, so I put in a subtle chain around her waist made up of stars, as well as the 2 large stars on her shoulders, kind of giving her a general/commander status since she is one of the main DC characters. So instead of a hooker-ish outfit, I gave her a fully clothed suit, minus the breastplate. The golden chestpiece is another one of her signatures so I kept it. Throughout the whole suit, there are slight hints of "W" elements, instead of having the cliché superhero logo on the chest. The bracelets got a size increase and a slight Greek design to it, since they were gifts from the Greek myth gods.

 

And yes, she fights crime in heels. Not all elements have to make sense, she has to look good as well... Besides... she can fly :)
