A link to the article/his blog/his deviant art He's simply great at having a balance between the superhero costume, realism, respect of the sexes - and simply making them look good. Give his Avengers (fan art) designs a look.!

Kris Anka's Captain America design is so much better then the one they went with

Also he simplifies the New 52's Costume designs into something palatable. His Superman is top notch.

it's like, the most transparent attempt to make him look like Movie!Cap.
I think you have your own answer right there.

Date: 2012-10-11 12:51 pm (UTC)We wanted [Pyslock] to be wearing something that looks like it can actually be used and beneficial in her sneaking around an enemy base where she doesn't risk the chance of falling out of it at any given moment, let alone a fight.
And
I'm not one that agrees with the notion that every female character has to be "sexy." It needs to serve a purpose.
I already like the new costumes and this is just like icing on the top. I think I may have to keep an eye out for other things Kris Anka does.

Date: 2012-10-11 01:33 pm (UTC)Hell, it's either that or Disney are somehow starting to put pressure on Marvel to make the costumes a bit more covering, but I doubt that very much. But these are definitely a step forward, and it's telling that the only one with a kinda provocative transparent costume used to work for a guy like Mojo.

Date: 2012-10-12 01:06 pm (UTC)I mean, it's just the refusal, here, to go along with some standard design elements, too - like those grey strips on Betsy's outer thighs or the 'X' across her chest - I think in the mind of a lesser artist, it would be so easy to just make that exposed flesh. So I think the designer really does deserve some kudos just for breaking from that tired old routine.

Date: 2012-10-11 03:59 pm (UTC)I mean, as artist looking at this - these lines are *so* easy to get a handle of, sure you're definitely gonna have to reference when illustrating the comic (any decent artist should), and Bishops will need simplifying for those who can't (or won't), but since they're straight lines it's fine.
I wouldn't even call them superfluous - they help make the clothes look like clothes, and the uniforms look like actual uniforms - not flat pieces that look like they were printed then painted on.

Date: 2012-10-11 05:07 pm (UTC)If you really couldn't remember - that's (lady) Fantomex you're talking about and LE GASP! Artists have had no trouble drawing those lines for the ten years he's (now, she's) been floating around. The transparencies on the Spiral are of intermediate difficulty, i see the holes on the top of the boots being removed by most artists, but if you're getting your moneys worth from the artist, don't worry they'll handle it fine.
This isn't animation, were talking sequential, but static art.

Date: 2012-10-13 09:55 pm (UTC)But the costumes only difference is that it's being worn by a woman I think. The lines have always been there no? Well since X force anyway - most artists seem to tackle them just fine.
