STUNNING!  These “practical” superheroine redesigns by Meredith McClaren are just to die for. I love how fashionable they are, how much they take into consideration the real world, there’s a practicality and function that is nevertheless completely badass. They’re also so far away from “basic catsuit” type stuff that it all feels so damn new and fresh!I mean…Look at that freaking Zatanna! I’ve never seen anything like that!

AND, you’ll be able to buy the original line art for some of these as she releases rewards this week for her AWESOME KICKSTARTER…although you guys are going to have to fight me for that Catwoman.

These are so amazing guys!
Meredith is beyond talented.
If you haven’t already you should go support her Kickstarter.

dat Zatanna and Wonder Woman

God I love dagged sleeves.  Almost as much as I love slashed ones.  I just want to dag and slash everything I can get my hands on.

I’ve wanted Maleficent to be the first villain in the series for a while now, ever since I made the mental leap between Maleficent’s horns and 15th century horned hennins.  The time period works out pretty well, actually, since I wanted her to look a little more dated than Aurora’s 1480’s getup- both houppelandes and horned hennins were all the rage during the early- to mid-1400’s, and they make for pretty good analogues to her official costuming.  Sexy stuff.

This proves more than any of the previous pieces that these are adaptations, not improvements.  I mean, look at the original Maleficent design- how does one improve on PERFECTION

I like Toothiana so much! I think she would be so kicking ass as an human - even though I think she already is as a Guardian and everything!

And well… I’m done! I think I finally settled with her human design! But now, I’m thinking about Bunnymund’s one and my head is full of his human versions! I tried to draw Tooh veeeery short, now that she’s so tiny in the movie!

Lovely!

These pieces came out of my note book from lecture classes, (productive right?)

Then I fixed them up in Illustrator. 

I played with Aya’s design with a retro twist and with some“Bruce Timm Hips”.

Enjoy!

Kate Bishop: Hawkeye - 24/46

… why is her midriff exposed though

that’s like a whole bunch of super-squishy, super-important organs right there, you want that armored

don’t get me wrong, it’s a p. good design aesthetically, it’s just my suspension of disbelief is having a problem

First off thanks for liking and reblogging my stuff :D.

I knew this was going to come up so allow me to use your comment as a way to air my opinion on this matter as, I assure you, I don’t make decisions like this lightly and I predict more comments of this nature.

1. Kate, and the young avengers, at their inception, are not about practicality, or armor, or anything that a covered midriff would represent. They’re about an idea and a belief in superheros, and what they represent. And to be a superhero requires a lot of flash when it comes to a costume.

2. They’re kids. They’re going to do a lot of impulsive things cause they look cool. Even Kate. Especially Kate.

3. One more piece of cloth across her stomach is not going to do any bit of difference should she be shot or stabbed. She’s not wearing armor, this group doesn’t have access to it. Their uniforms are cobbled together (well, okay, Kate had hers custom designed, but that’s cause she’s her), they’re not designed by, say, SHIELD, the military, or some other overarcing crime fighting organization. They’re making do.

That’s pretty much my disjointed thoughts on the matter. Like I said, thank you again, and thank you for letting me springboard that answer. :)

mayakern:

WOW! i am just astounded by all the responses to my Warrior Princess Zelda design! and i’m so excited that my amazing friends Dana and Michelle liked her enough to draw her!

here’s to hoping that soon i’ll have enough time to not only draw her as a Gerudo, but also as a Zorra and like a million other things!

I thought Bobbi was my favorite. I was wrong. I WAS SO WRONG. SAAAAM.

Basically this tag right here is the best place to be on the internet from now until IM3.

Finally updated Pocahontas!  I don’t think this is what people were expecting as the next entry in the series, but some of the criticisms of my first design have been eating away at me for years now and I needed to get off my ass and address them.

So hey!  Spunky age-appropriate Pocahontas/Matoaka, sans feathers in the hair/European imagery/other superfluous details.  This is closer to accounts and illustrations of Powhatan dress from the period, and I kinda think it’s closer to the Disney design anyway. WIN/WIN.

Thanks to everyone who’s educated my ass over the past couple of years, including moniquill, apihtawikosisan, this-is-not-native, and numerous others.  You’ve made me a way more thoughtful artist in the process. :)
