FASHION TIPS FROM COMIC STRIPS

Kirstin Wells - Superwoman redesign

Doodled this out last night. I wanted to make her look a little more futuristic and make it a little more formal (in the story it was a present for Supergirl to wear at a party, I think). Also, I’ve never been a fan of people in the Superfamily wearing masks; a hood feels friendlier to me. Almost changed the yellow to silver but I decided against it. Hope you guys like it!

The cloak coordinated with the red legwear and red gloves creates a better blue:red ratio, and gives the look a more balanced feel. Also, I’m a big fan of capes redesigned as mod hooded mini-cloaks, so yeah.

Here’s another infographic I did for HalloweenCostumes.com, this time illustrating the history of the emblem on Superman’s chest.

Until I researched this, I had no idea just how many variations the shield went through in its first five years, before they settled on the classic design that went mostly unchanged for over five decades.

My previous infographic (illustrating the evolution of Iron Man’s armor) can be seen here.

Somebody on Twitter was bitching about how they wished the Man of Steel chest emblem was more “historic” or something and I wanted to be like, “Son, which historic chest emblem do you mean?”

Comics, Everybody: The History Of ComicsAlliance Explained!

It’s time again to break down the convoluted history of comics in the recurring segment we call Comics, Everybody! Written by Curt Franklin and drawn by Chris Haley of the webcomic Let’s Be Friends Again, today’s subject is one very near and dear to our hearts: us.

Who are we? How did we get here? Where did we go? How and why did we come back? The story — or at least Curt and Chris’ version (with color assist from Joe Hunter), which arrived suddenly in the dead of night — unfolds on ComicsAlliance…

Doodled out my Black Cat & Kit redesigns from last night for a little warm-up.

As much as I love leotards, I’m all for Harvey Comics’ Black Cat in a sleek and modern catsuit. As for Kit, thank you for keeping his dope belt in his redesign.

Avengers Gowns: Iron Man & The Hulk, by kelseymichele

Although the Hulk look is quite glam and pretty, the Iron Man ensemble steals the show in this redesign (unsurprisingly). The structured cocktail dress and the arc reactor pendant are audacious, yet beautiful interpretations of Iron Man’s showboating armor. While I’m not the biggest fan of strappy gladiator footwear, I do approve of the chunky wedged heel with this ensemble.
