Superheroine Designs 2

I went back to some of the other designs to see how I could change them to make them a bit more superhero-like. I added a leather jacket back in like Superboy's 1990s outfit which adds a slightly tougher look to the character. I still wasn't entirely sure if I wanted to go for that yet though; the superhero (named Miss Monomyth for now) will have super strength, but I do like the contrast between super strong body but gentle personality.

I tried making the jacket a little but more fashionable, to take away slightly from the 'toughness' but to still add something more to the top half. These were starting to get a little bit casual again, but I did like the use of vertical lines to tie different parts of the outfit together. I also like the idea of a contemporary suerhero having multiple outfits like superhero Ms America, especially if they got damaged/dirty in fights since most people probably wouldn't carry around multiple superhero costumes with them. Since this comic only tells one story, I don't think it is really necessary to design that many, but it's still an interesting idea to consider. The third design is a lot closer to what I wanted though, not too spandex and usual superhero, but enough that it doesn't look like ordinary clothes.

I wanted to think about the faces and hair a bit more after this, since the design was getting a lot closer to what I wanted. I didn't have to put a mask on the character - some superheros are known by the public, like Wonder woman, Tony Stark, a fair few mutants in X-Men and many other hero's in Marvel's Civil War story line. 

I wanted to keep the face young enough for a superhero that didn't necessarily have that much experience; an older hero could still undergo a hero's journey, but a younger character implies that there is still a lot more to learn, which works well with story lines that deal a lot more in character development than just plot. I added a hood onto the top half like that of Spider-Gwen's and Raven from Teen Titans, which helps a little more with the secret identity thing. I then added a belt around the middle to help balance the outfit a little more, since much of the design was at the top half of the character. I thought that just straight vertical lines could get a bit boring, so I made the lines on the belt diagonal, which made them work a lot more with he shoes, and then added some triangular shapes around the hood so that each parts of the outfits had similar design elements. I think this makes it look a much more finished, put together design, which I am happy with.
