IT's the jacket- it's not the right feel for her. Jackets aren't aerodynamic. Letsee... She's strong and fast at flying, so tight and flexable is good . She looks awesome in armour. I think alot more could be done by DC with her range in costumes- Wonder girl has had some deviant outfits, and WonderWoman is always about the classic. Hmmmm- it's difficult...

[Art] Wonder Woman Costume

Right, maybe lose the jacket. I wasn't quite sure what to do with the top, whether or not it should be staying up some way other than Amazon magic like usual, so part of it was covering that up. I do think she could use pants, though. Poor woman's been in either a skirt or panties for the last 60 years. Even Robin moved on to tights.

I do want to try to evoke some of her old white outfits, though; if you look at some of the getups she had in mer mod 70's period, they're really nifty. Maybe white pants and red top with silver accessories?

    I think her current gi is all about the American pride- Red, white, and blue with stars. Those kind of colours tend to stick with her cause she is one of the trinity of justice for America- like Superman, its about representing their country as much as the sex appeal. One thing I do on my characters is put them in thigh high boots- not only sexy, but practical for movement- I reckon she needs something to balance out the totally covered bottom though. I'd have to sit there and think about it a while. See, there's the American pride, and then the pracitcallity side. Baggy pants just look heavy on her...

      Oh man, I would never call thigh-highs comfortable x_x

      Maybe we should take this to oekaki and pump out a few quick designs?

        No way- not on oekaki. I'd have to sit there and REALLY think about it. If I get time, i'll do it, but costume design is a weak spot for me as it is. It'd have to draw by hand. Oekaki is to weird to me still.
