Post redesigns of characters!
>>150740703
>>150740857Does megatron count?
>>150740721not everyone needs to be hitting the juice
>>150740906This one is so retarded.
>>150741096I wouldnt say she's that muscular here.
>>150740906Any Superman redesign that goes out of its way to make him more alien, specifically a shapeshifting alien, always makes me wonder if the artist is aware of Martian Manhunter.
>>150740906Oh, it's this retard
>>150741657Martian Manhunter? You mean that green Superman ripoff?
I bet Green Martian Superman rips off Superman's super-effective will control too...
>>150740703But i don't want to
>>150741269Ugly. Can't believe he didn't simplify the designs whatsoever over the years.
>Aquaman but Gill-man.>Wonder Woman but no exposed skin>Batman but 1800's >Flash but neither Barry, Wally, or Jay>Cyborg with afro>Martian Manhunter but spooooky>Spider-Man but gay
>>150740793I like this one
Incomplete Iron Man design I was working on.
>>150741882Jesus Christ, Golden Age Superman's powers really are "Yes."
>>150742233Looks neat. Bubble helmet or is it just round?
>>150740703Ugly as fuck and misses the point of Batman & Robin's designs>>150740721Looks like a troon>>150740793Looks more like a redesign of ManBat than Batman>>150740906Completely misses the point of Superman and I agree with the other anon that you may as well redesign Manhunter>>150741269See what I said to OP>>150741661He looks obese kek>>150741912This is for literal children>>150741922Not much of a Doctor Doom guy but I like the royal aesthetic
I had fun making these
>>150743151I was on the fence before, but your determination to hate makes me think all of the designs are good except for the Dr Doom one.
>>150743151The Batgirl one was specifically designed to look like a cartoon.
>>150743280That Anon thought it was so good that he needed to hate on it, but couldn't find anything material to say. That's true for anyone who nebulously says things like "It misses the spirit of the character (no explanation how)" or "This is for children (lots of cartoons are, so that sentence is meaningless)".
>>150742546Pilot helmet.Also it's got MADOX-style tech on the inside
>>150743151Wolverine's a short dude, he's also buff as fuck
>>150743151>Looks more like a redesign of ManBat than BatmanNo? Man-Bat's a mutant monster bat, not a guy in a suit.
>>150742546Here's a hastily finished better look at the helmet as well.Tony is barely 5 feet tall in this version. The Iron Man armor is 7 feet.As to why he's such a manlet, it's because he's a 16 year old who suffers from congenital defects that've rendered most of his organs weak, which has stunted his growth.
>>150743181Freakazoid's a little boring, but Dexter, Freakazette and Steff are decent enough modernized takes.
>>150743550It's something I was thinking myself
>>150740857Holy shit it's the hand alt mode from RiD
>>150741922I think a gold inlay on his armor would've tied this design together more.
>>150743151shut the fuck up
>>150743151Why don't you post some redeisgns from yourself wiseguy
>>150743823Absolute fertility goddess. Mother Nature indeed.
>>150744367>Ben now say RELEASE THE BOGUS
>>150741824Is that supposed to be mystique?
>>150743181literally just tumblr sexyman freakazoid
>>150743823when will this obnoxious art style die off?
>>150744367I dont think a single cast of characters gets shafted harder in these threads than the FF. Every single attempt seeks to make them sexier, more tacticool, modern, etc and it always fails.
>>150740703Murdoch Chan
>>150743151alright tranny enough seething

>>150744514You're not wrong. Though it is morbidly fun to see how wildly off-base some people's ideas are.
>>150745747
>>150743732why is his crotch exposed
>>150745344It’s because nobody understands the whole “family” aspect of the fantastic four anymore. They just think they’re supposed to be a group of cool super-friends, and the only reason they’re called a “family” is because Reed and Sue have kids. So they just ignore everything else about the team, make Reed look vaguely “dad-ish” (hence all the shitty attempts to give him unkempt facial hair), and try to make them look like a ragtag group of diverse teenagers that grew up a little bit because that’s the only fucking type of team these people care about.
>>150745769
>>150746064
>>150743181Faggazoid, more like
>>150746076
>>150746064Nice
>>150746135Done. Finally.>>150745979Spot on. Sad that people can't seem to grasp the family aspect unless its through the lens of "quirky found family of misfits" that's so popular these days. It shouldn't be a surprise, since most classic characters tend to get forced into modern archetypes that way. It's just so more obvious with them since their new archetypes rarely match up with their actual personalities.
>>150745344I like black haired sue.
>>150747022I like the symbol trick.
I did a ton of stuff in Heroforge. Like an unreasonable amount of stuff
>>150747527Well don’t just tease us post some
>>150746219>>150745979They always leave out the fluidity of them. They never look as though they been together for years, only that they know eachother and hang out a lotThey look more like separate people than a whole family unit when the redesigns are put together.Take the pics from >>150745747 and below. The most modern day, hipster-equse fashion to them where Johnny seems to be the only one trying. JOHNNY.They forget the closeness, the uniform, the feel like they've know eachother a long time. The casual connection between them. The family is a married couple with a brother on each side. But they leave out one brother and the marriage every time
>>150740703I actually like this Batman, though it would be better without the steampunk front coat panel. But that Robin just sucks. >>150740793This art just has no personality.>>150744367These designs suck but at least the art has personality. Sue a cute. Not sure what's going on with Reed.>>150745979>>150746219I've read very little fantastic four, but I do get the feeling that the fanon versions of them as shown through the lenses of these redesigns is just a group of dorks who hangs out in their tower waiting for someone or something more interesting to drop by. And that's just lame. But there's little room for the space age adventurer archetype in modern fiction.
Redesign it already!
5000 hours in MSPaint>General design is a collar around neck like a suit and a 4 Logo on the chest.>They were all going to wear the same type of suit because Reed said it was practical but Johnny shot it down because looking the same was boring.>Reeds is basic, the light blue on his limbs is meant to evoke muscles/springs and he wears astronaut-like bootsthat lets him increase the gravity of his kicks.>Johnny wants to invoke cool sufer uncle so he wears a short sleeve and shorts variation with sandals. The headband on his head is a special device made by Reed that letsd him know how hot his output it, so that he can choose whether to flame on like a gentle candle or go nova blast without memorizing numbers.>Sue's is a bit magician-looking, her stomach and hands are coated in a material that can help focusin light reftaction and lets her shoot out a navel beam or blasts of light and form shields from her energy>Got kinda lazy with Ben. I imagine he has a sort of modified collar that's more of a He-Man like harness. Along with the wrist bracers it woul let him focus kinetic energy that he builds up with his bulk.They should just have the same general color scheme but not look like they all can swap suits willy nilly, it's a balance imo but I'm not a designer.
>>150749565Now without trasnparency.
>>150749586Give sue more cleavage
>>150745344i really like this one
>>150747996Should do that ngl
>>150750880I went so far as to do Absynthe btw
>>150741912Batgirl's design is okay here. Specifically the colors.
>>150745344>P2 fantastic 4
>>150741912Harley would look better without the hair, it clashes with her otherwise simple design and color pallet.
>>150744367>>150745344>>150745747>>150749586>>150752281Does anyone actually think Reed would be better with a beardIs that really why this is so widespreadOr do people just think it’s impossible to be a dad without a beard
I'm not a fan of some of the redesigns for the F4 I've seen in this thread, but I'm not sure I understand the critique either. Aren't you just saying you want identical costumes for everyone?
>>150753202What's wrong with it?
>>150745747>I'd like to see your hot sauce collection. Now.
>>150753202He looks fine with a beard, he looks fine without a beard.
>>150753125Kon, Kara, Jon. But who is the guy on the left?
>>150753672Zod's kid.
>>150743544pretty good anon
>>150740721This feels like it should be She-Hulk's costume when she's moonlighting for F4
>>150752324I think it's fine since it helps emphasize she's just a kid in a hoodie and not an adult with a bespoke costume yet.
Dont quite like this design.
>>150753202I think a short, well-kept beard is fine for him as long as he has hair on top of his head to show his greying temples. >>150745747Bald with beard is just never a good look. Too cliche with the hipster crowd. Tis one in particular makes Reed look like an intern, not a lead scientist.Especially the slobbish, untucked shirt.
>>150755101Niceeeeee
>>150755254I mean Ben looks suitably monstrous
>>150750880>>150747996Here's the Hulk. Yes, I intentionally made him look like that. Helps to hammer home how he's basically the perfect human physically speaking
>>150755520Alright that's it. I'm compiling a file of all of these
>>150755101The pinup girl is a great touch.
Why is it that the people who are most inclined to "redesign" super hero costumes are also the people who clearly don't understand or even read very many super hero comics.
Powergirl has two kinds of redesigns: Porno and Puritan
>>150753202>>150753246It's a decent enough look when drawn well, but the problem is that it's become a somewhat generic way to add flare to a look. It's like that period when every other action girl had a sidecut. When so many people try to modernize a character in the exact same way, it stops being innovative and just becomes trite.
>>150756188Why is Catwoman always a mutt or black nowadays? Where's that sexy blonde/noirette white Selina at?
>>150756209Because DC uses them to push diversity through characters people actually know instead of actually using black characters no one cares about.
>>150756236That and everyone likes Eartha Kitt
>>150755686Okay how do I share a gigantic folder of images
>>150756306You post them individually, one at a time.
>>150756306>>150755686>>150755520https://imgur.com/a/jcp7UUSFINALLY
>>150756348Darn, the link doesn't work
>>150756158>>150753951 is one of the better ones since it doesn't stray too far from the original (although it could use a few tweaks to be more consistent with itself). The spectrum of Power Girl redesigns ranges from "slight variation of her classic costume" to "the essentials are there if you look closely" to "I'm more concerned with covering her up". Honestly, Power Girl (and other superheroes with similarly simple costumes) is harder to redesign because of her simplicity-there's not a whole lot you can take away (if you can at all) or add without throwing everything off
>>150756137Because cartoons.
>>150755853Wow, I didn't think anyone but me remembered this.
>>150756158Post porno ones.
>>150756209Selina's been half cuban since the 90s. So a lot of fan designs want to make that apparent.
>>150756137It's the same kind of arrogance that causes some people to think they can be competent at any skill with just a cursory understanding compared to people who have spent years practicing. Add in the stigma that superheroes have, and you have the formula for the mindset a lot of artists have thinking they can improve long lasting characters.Ironically it's not too far off from the mindset of British Invasion writers when handling superheroes. The only difference is those writers actually bothered to research the characters while throwing in elements from classic works. I suppose just doing it for fun can also add a level of detachment that can prevent handling the character in earnest when you don't have an obligation to care.
>>150756379Dammit, I worked my ass off on all these and I can’t even show them off
>>150756908I like the design but not the colors on that Doctor Midnite. I'd say there are two camps to people inclined to shitty redesigns, the type of people you're talking about and the people whose earnest interest outstrips their design skills. Though personally I blame Project Rooftop for a lot of the issues with redesigns, for years they were THE big name on tumblr for superhero redesigns and the people running it had a clear bias for drab realism that ultimately morphed into "practicool."
>>150756137I redesign them by deciding to not play by the rules.I know for a fact I can’t do it within the same context as the writers and artists, so I choose to instead do a more drastic revamp on the design’s core ethos instead of trying to reinvent the wheel.
>>150753125Poor Jon.Gets molested and becomes gay
>>150756898I hate how Selina's been treated. Can't we get an universe where she ends up with Bats that doesn't have her being a DEI bait character or be related to the Falcones or something? I know Earth Two ended like that but that was 40 years ago
>>150757333The falcone's thing not that cmmon, and its not from where the cuban thing even comes from.
>>150756891I like this one
>>150757555Kino
>>150756209It is usually a callback to Eartha Kitt playing the character after Julie Newmar in the 1960s.
>>150756898>Selina's been half cuban since the 90s.DC and Marvel both really needed some sort of internal rule that people who had nothing at all to do with creating a character shouldn't be allowed to just randomly make changes to their ethnicity decades later. That these things keep getting used to try and force changes to the way characters have looked for decades makes it even worse.We basically need an industry-wide reset to factory settings with all these retcons thrown out.
>>150756898I thought she was Italian. Isn’t she some mob bosses’ bastard?
