Done doing these so here they all are in one place! Fully Dressed Redesigns of Superheroines.

Point of this: An exercise in character design, attempting to clothe the heroines nearly all the way and not making them painted-on, while still keeping the look of their original costumes in some way.  Hopefully keeping them looking as iconic as the originally were. Just showing what can be done with a costume breaking outside the barrier of the norm.

NOT the point of this: some moral code I’m trying to push on you

Sorry if there was a character you wanted me to do that I didn’t get to!

I like many of these better than the originals, particularly Elektra and Zatanna. Considering the artist’s efforts to try and keep the costumes iconic, it’s sort of depressing to note that many of the originals (in particular Vampirella and Black Canary), the icon seems to have been “more skin.”

Lord British Completely Misses Irony:

The two choice quotes from the article:

“[Other game designers] generally say, ‘You know, I really like Medal of Honor, but I would have bigger weapons, or I would have more healing packs, or,’ you know. They go to make one or two changes to a game they otherwise love versus really sit down and rethink,‘How can I really move the needle here?’”

That’s a direct quote from Richard Garriott, basically calling out his fellow game developers for incrementing or re-visiting the well too often.

Then the article concludes with this (not the quote inside is taken directly from the Kickstarter page):

“Garriott’s new game, Shroud of the Avatar: Forsaken Virtues, has succeeded on Kickstarter with the promise that it’s a ‘return to his fantasy RPG roots, hearkening back to his innovative early work.’”

Uh-huh.

If Spider-Man’s power was shooting spiders out of his hands, no one would commit crime ever.

Spider-hands = no crime.

I will run for office on this political platform.

“I don’t mind your showing me your legs. They’re very swell legs and it’s a pleasure to make their acquaintace. I don’t mind if you don’t like my manners. They’re pretty bad. I grieve over them during the long winter nights.” —Raymond Chandler
