Now, who's an interesting character to have our many talented resident artists redesign? Hmm...Alot of interesting characters to choose from, but I've decided upon using...

The Phantom Lady (who appears to have switched publishers more than once).

Now owned by DC, she's gone through a few costume changes, but none by the hands of Comicvine's amazing artists. Her powers include invisibility and she's packing a ray-gun.

EDIT: New Deadline by...November 22nd by 12:00 pm. Still time for last minute entries.

@ARMIV2: Ah, yes...Phantom Lady. The thing with Phantom Lady is this; certain of her earlier appearances and comic books are considered Public Domain while later ones, as claimed by DC aren't. So this still qualifies as Public Domain. Similar issue with some other characters which DC has claimed but Phantom Lady is the one that stands out and is often talked about on PD boards.

My rambling and pointless trivia aside, an excellent choice!

@KEROGA: It would seem your "nice rack" comment is shown in your redesign picture quite well. Awesome drawing!

Is the deadline for this contest midnight, tonight, or 11:59 p.m. tomorrow night? I'm off work tomorrow &, astonishingly, have no other obligations, so I could probably get something posted tomorrow afternoon/evening. If, however, the deadline is tonight, then... never mind. I'm afraid I work way too slowly to get anything worthwhile done in 7 hours. There's always next time.

@payno: Absolutely beautiful. Nice job. @chalkshark: I wish definitive times would be put forth in the contests, as your question demonstrates why. Not harping on ARMIV by any means but it would be helpful if winning artists would at least try to set a time for the deadlines. Wished I could answer your question. Perhaps if you don't get this one you will enter the next one as you say. It'd be great to see your art.

That is a really good question. I was figuring that a good official deadline would be 12:00 pm.

Sorry about not setting a time-frame, folks.

That was my bad.

 Okay... better late than never. Took me all day to render this. Would have liked to put in a background, but the day's starting to wear on me. Bit of a departure from her traditional garb. Wanted to get away from the lemon-lime color scheme. In my opinion, there aren't enough characters in white costumes. Tried to maintain a 1940's sensibility with the design. Although, the more I look at it, the more it seems 60's mod to me. I felt her traditional costume was rather... impractical, but still wanted to keep the sexy element to the visual. To that end, I gave her a more voluptuous figure, which is actually more of a 50's standard. If there's one thing I've learned from Black Canary & Zatanna, it's that you can never go wrong with fishnets. Wrestled with the hair style. Considered both Rita Hayworth's & Veronica Lake's, before settling for a more modern cut. The skull broach holding her cape in place, was a nod to the Phantom's famous skull ring. Played around with the skirt design, as well. Considered a visually more interesting pleated style, & also a slinkier, hip-hugging number, before going with the one illustrated. I like the bell shape silhouette it provides, & also it seems more practical in terms of movement. Wish my schedule allowed me to participate more often in these contests.  Hope everyone enjoys this entry. I had fun doing it.

@chalkshark: Very nice, great take on Phantom Lady by giving her a truly voluptuous form and the retro Mod costume.
