Wonder Woman's Wednesday Wear

[atom_punk]

Another round of costume redesigns I've collected for your perusal, this time with a focus on the eternally awesome Wonder Woman.











For legality, Wonder Woman CSI-Miami-ing in WW #25. I thought this was appropriate given how Wonder Woman's appearances in TV and film seemed to have stalled as of late. As a side note, this might become my new icon :)

I recommend putting this under a cut ASAP! :)

[atom_punk]

Whoa! Fixing ASAP!

[fungo_squiggly]

With regards to the legality scan, had the film studio just burned down?

Because that CSI moment would be perfect if spoken with a burning film studio directly in the background.

Nah, just a smashed set.

[moetushie]

Aww, Wondie, you're a blockbuster... In my heart.

(I especially like the second design.)

[drexer]

I swear that WW redesign by CallMePo is a perfect concept for an animated series or a short and sweet 2D brawling videogame.

Except for the 'rope' around the chest which just seems uncomfortable.

I love it and have saved a copy of it because it's just so simply perfect.

[jlbarnett]

yeah, his is the only one I like

[biod]

That's the one I saw before. My favorite bit is how she looks slightly inebriated.

[q99]

Of those, I like mase0ne's the most.

[razsolo]

I like the first one with the exception of the odd loincloth bit...

I like the CallMePo one with the exception of the uncomfortable-looking rope around the chest bit...

The last one is kind of an interesting and different take, though I can't take it seriously without something more than a loose bit of cloth covering her downstairs area...I think if the breastplate was conceived more as a one-piece bathing suit sort of thing it would look a lot better.

The rest of them I am not really that into, though I think the kiddoblivion one might make a cool costume for Donna Troy; she's never worn white and gold, has she?

[leoboiko]

My support for all the ones that have her in white & gold, instead of blue+red.

[liara_shadowsong]

It is quite a nice color combination for her.

I like the ones by CallMePo and GinoDrone the best (though I think there could do to be some adjustment to the straps on the first one, which look a bit uncomfortable as is). Although I don't mind the one by mase0ne either... it has a vaguely Big Barda aura to me, for some reason. (What I don't understand is why there isn't more to the bottom half of the very last design, if the front and back trailing cloth pieces were joined together into an actual skirt so the whole thing was like a one-shouldered tunic, it would probably look rather nice, instead of looking like there's something missing)

[atom_punk]

Looks like most people agree that the one by CallMePo looks good, save for the incongruous leather straps. Honestly I feel the same and I'm not sure why they were thrown in as the brown takes away from the otherwise colorful costume :P

Some people have commented they like the white and gold and I'm glad to hear it. I particularly like the last pic although I too was worried about why there seemed so little fabric at the bottom. The artist wanted to evoke a Greek toga and while I think he succeeded overall, I do think he could have made it into a tunic like liara_shadowsong mentioned without losing the effect.

I tried to find redesigns that had white and gold as the dominant colors mainly because I was always rather irked by how an Amazon warrior would wear an outfit based on the American flag with the red, blue and white stars. Yes there are numerous in-universe explanations, and the real-world fact that Wonder Woman (like many other characters) was made in a patriotic spirit but it never sat right with me. Especially since the colors of her costume are more or less the same as Superman's.

In my head, I will always picture Superman decked in red, yellow and blue; Batman in dark blacks and grays; and Wonder Woman in white and gold. Each costume unique and contrasting with the others, yet balanced and complementary. Just like the characters.

My thanks to everyone who commented and viewed!
