So I'm picking up my pencil and sketchpad to do something like this after a long time. I know its not the nicest, cleanest drawing out there, Also I have no idea how to color stuff in photoshop. Anyway heres my rendition of Hawkeye. Hope you like it and overlook the numerous errors I have probably made. :D I know that the major problem I have here is the legs, essentially the shins and feet.

some cool stuff in there, like the arm emblem, and the spiky glove. That would give a nasty chop into someones head. If you're ever looking for help on or with coloring digital I'd be more than happy to assist.
" I think I may dick around and enter, plenty of time to jump on this and make something pretty decent. "
There's always room for jello eh :)
Did some playing around with this throughout the week, may or may not do more depending on how time permits. Made him a twin stringed dragonblade bow. Figured he could go klingon on someone in close combat.
-I gave him the goggles to magnify his vision. -Chain mail-like body armor which is also flame retardant. -A variety of "trick" arrows. From Vibranium-tipped to heat-seeking arrows. -Vibrainium soled boots to lighten the impact from high drops. -Various pouches for various gear including a miniature first aid kit, radio, smoke capsules, etc.
@FrischDVH: as usual, awesome work. You got the Clint shit eating grin down perfectly. Love the 'waist' cape too, I thought about giving him a cape but it didn't seem to look right and seemed like it would get in the way of shooting but you creatively pulled it off real slick.
@tonis: Thanks! Yeah I was looking to see how to put a cape in there. It went from a mini-cape to a shoulder cape to a trenchcoat to finally a waist coat. I had the same problem justifying arm coverings for an archer. BTW: I really dug your entry too. There was no way I was going to try to do Hawkeye without purple, you are much more bolder than I. And, that bow is insane.

believe me I fought long and hard over the purple, and it's my favorite color no less. Eclipse had mentioned his surprise that no one took it out and he got me thinking the same. I did actually make a version in purple though instead of black as well :)
@payno: I love yours and at the same time I hate it! >.< Mine entry idea was somewhat similar to yours... except that mine's coat met in an H form and dropped from the armpit area...
Awesome entry man! (I'm just kidding abour hating it btw)
Great job everyone, I'm not really feeling this contest too much. I like the character hawkeye and I know he's going to get bastardized in the movie. But I just find it hard to redesign his character.
I am pretty sure imo the movie rendition of the character will be something like this. i wanted to capture that with my "re-design" And add kind of like a cybernetic aspect to the costume without making some gaudy helmet. Being that I'm sure Tony Stark will be responsible for designing a lot of peoples costumes in the movie or providing "hardware" for shield. anyway enough babbling.
@sora_thekey: very nice Sora, These are the kind of line work I love coloring the most where everythings clean and solid. Makes for smoother palette transitions. Like the leg quivers and mask style too, very creative.
@tonis: I'm not very find of the mask... I was attempting to use a mask style sort of like Cyclops in X-Men: Evolution... but it didn't come how I wanted... Still thank you!
Here's mine. I had this idea of giving him camouflage (dark purple and black) outfit, but I couldn't find a good way of getting it into pixels. :/
Still need to work a lot on my pencils. The body becomes more deformed as you progress down, because I started the drawing too low on the page and was running out of room.... rookie mistake. :)
Hey, I'm new to the forum but this looked like fun so I sketched this over lunch today. Instead of going modern with the character, I thought it'd be fun to give him a throwback uniform to the Roman archers of old.
" @rocketpig: awesome in concept and design. can't go wrong with the classic looks. "
Thanks! I wanted to give him a different look (while sticking to my idea of utilitarian design). I'm working on launching a web comic right now that's a bit different than most and a lot of my character design reflects it. I just don't do the "tights" thing, even though I still read loads of superhero books.

Hey James this is pretty good, if mine were to have a color palette associated with it, you pretty much nailed it bro. I think this is what his costume is going to end up looking like in the movie.
