Poison Ivy redesign.

As with Wonder Woman, I’m trying to eradicate the absolutely asinine ‘bathing suit’ costume Poison Ivy has been shackled with for 47 years.  Obviously I get that there’s that temptress quality to her character, but for too long that’s been cited as an excuse to further fetishize her appearance (the Arkham games being really guilty of this).  Ivy should look like Klimt or Aubrey Beardsley designed her - she should look earthy and timeless, and yes have a sensual look, but one that’s subtle and most importantly doesn’t undermine a threatening quality she NEEDS to posses.  She’s poison. 

Day 29: Redesign (Wonder Woman)

I’ve been wanting to redesign Wonder Woman forever - pretty much every “official” design looks absolutely ridiculous for a bevy of reasons (except the late-60’s white costume…that was pretty awesome).  Anyway, I wanted to give her something that honors the basic look and pallet, but that isn’t a strapless bathing suit.  I had seen this golden armor-like outfit made by Alexander McQueen that is sort of the basis for this, but then I plugged in these ideas stolen from Brienne of Tarth (because she really IS what WW should be).  This whole design isn’t exactly supposed to be actual practical armor, but more a kind of ceremonial armor (that actually covers her too! WAT).  Something majestic like she just walked out of a Ribera painting.  Hope you dig…
