My Project: Rooftop Wonder Woman Redesign

Here's my entry for the Project: Rooftop Wonder Woman Wardrobe War. It's not awesome. But I put time into it, so I'm sending it up! LOL!And unless anyone thinks I'm unaware of the lack of originality...it was designed that way. I was trying to pay homage to the history of the character and her creators:
The John Byrne/Hippolyta tiara, the Phil Jimenez/Donna Troy jumpsuit and choker, Mike Sekowsky pulled-back hair, H.G. Peter golden-age eagle, Terry Dodson "WW" belt, large George Perez-style bracelets, and baggie Adam Hughes boots.Anyway, I just did it for fun. Take it for what it is. :P

My almost-tribute to Mike Wieringo

Okay, so Project: Rooftop was doing a sort of tribute to Mike Wieringo this week. The object was to redesign a costume for Bart (Impulse, Kid Flash, Flash) Allen, a character co-created by Wieringo. I thought that it sounded like fun and wanted to play. But after I spend 2 and 1/2 days on it, I realized that it wasn't quite what it should have been. I didn't really do a whole lot of "design" work on a costume. In fact, I was almost just self-indulgent, doing my own thing. In the end, I decided not to send it in. It just wasn't what I felt it was supposed to be. But I decided to put it here anyway. It didn't turn out as well as I wanted, but the idea of what I was going for is there. Anyway, here it is:


And for anyone who may be unfamiliar, here is the source of inspiration that I used:

Mike Wieringo Tribute at Project: Rooftop

From Project: Rooftop:

In memory of our friend and fellow fanboy, Mike Wieringo, Project: Rooftop is announcing an open call for redesigns of Bart Allen, the super-speedster sidekick (and later mantle-bearer) of The Flash. Bart was co-created by Mike Wieringo and writer Mark Waid in the mid-90’s. ‘Ringo recently wrote some interesting stuff about Bart over on his blog.

Submissions should be emailed to editors@projectrooftop.com by Sunday, August 26th, with the subject line “Impulse,” “Kid Flash,” or “The Flash” depending on the era of Bart’s life you decided to build on. Be sure to include your name and website with your submission. We’ll showcase the best entries all next week. In addition to the Bart Allen fun, we’ll also be talking about some the best superhero costuming work from Mike Wieringo’s career.

Mike had a timeless appreciation for these awesome characters and enjoyed the heck out of online costuming/drawing events, so I think he’d really dig this kind of fun being held in his honor. Whether you consider yourself a friend, fan, or both, come join us in remembering Mike Wieringo, whose incredible artwork and unfailing kindness continue to serve as a source of unending inspiration and joy.
