i-Rix Tries to Draw: Power Girl (costume redesign)

By ImperiousRix 12 Comments

"September" rapidly approaches and, with it, the DC Comics reboot.  Before that time, though, and inspired by Comic Vine's recent sit down with Judd Winick, I decided to take a crack at a Power Girl re-design.  Yeah, technically it looks like she doesn't exist in the reboot, but here's how a PG costume would pan out in the (in)capable hands of ImperiousRix. 

No Caption Provided
Karen definitely gets a lot of flack (and some rather unsavory attention) for her costume, so I tried to cover her up a bit more and give her a costume that's actually... well, a costume.  I obviously had to keep the slit in the middle, and I kept her "shoulder-cape" (?), but changed her main colors from gold, white, and red to gold, white, and light blue.  In the end, it was maybe not the best decision, but whatever.  I also gave her a shorter haircut and (what I consider) a sexy mole near her chin. 

For a better view, check out my DeviantArt account HERE.  

And for those interested, this drawing was done in pencil, pen, colored pencils, and pastel chalks. 
Enjoy, and feel free to comment and critique!

@ImperiousRix: I like the approach you are taking here, reminiscent of Darwyn Cooke to an extent. Nice job, keep at it!

Darwyn Cooke, Bruce Timm, and Phil Hester are definitely three artists I most try to emulate when I draw.  I wish I had even an ounce of the talent of any of those artists! 
Thanks for the comment!

@ImperiousRix: No problem, man. Those are great artists to emulate, that's for dang sure. I like a lot of different art styles and it is always great to see when someone is trying something a bit different.

I see a tint of Bruce Timm's style in there :) 
 
Great stuff, dude. I especially like the shoulder cape :)

nice design, I think PG looks as good in a body suit as a bathing suit. Cool what you did with the shoulder and the straps.

@tonis:  
Yeah, I definitely wanted to ditch the leg-less suit, and almost went with a skirt a-la Super Girl.  In the end, though, PG's suit has always been simpler, so I just went with a full-body suit with a belt to break it up a little bit. 
Also, the straps on her leg have no function, and serve only to compliment the straps that hold her cape on her.

not bad at all, and it looks like you got some refrences to her older costumes in there
