Early Access: DCAU Supergirl Revisted
Added 2019-05-28 11:01:38 +0000 UTCGonna be on vacation so posts here will be limited for the rest of the month. Hopefully there'll be a bit of an art dump when I get back.
As a parting gift, here's another look at my take on the DCAU version of Supergirl that I used in the recent "Supermoon" sequence. I never could quite buy into the "Rrriot Grrrl" aesthetic, though there's no denying there's a strange appeal to this unconventional costume. Since Kara Zor-El's first experience with earth was Kansas in the DCAU, I tweaked the costume to give it a more midwestern feel. The chunky grunge boots are replaced with something a little more western in shape, and I threw in a belt for good measure. For this drawing I also added some denim detail to that blue miniskirt. I kinda like this revised design and wanted to do a pic of Just kara being Kara without the Lunar Kryptonite drama. It also gave me a chance to try a more muted coloring technique, What do you think of this costume--both the original and this tweaked version?

2019-05-29 18:58:01 +0000 UTCTruthfully I've never really liked this version of her costume.It felt like too much of a departure from the original and too "Earthy" for an alien like Kara.But you've done a great take on it and made it pretty stylish.
