Entry tags:[art] dc, costume design, robin iv

the girl wonder's justice duds.
character: robin iv (stephanie brown)
rating/warnings: sidekick sentimentality.
media: pen, ink, & ps7
artist's note: my own little project rooftop.










personally, i think a pixie or buzz cut would be best for a gal in steph's
line of work. but if the hair's gotta stay faboo, then i can at least
semi-cowl it. that won't stop a villain from foiling her by follicle,
but it might cut down on strands in the mouth between
grapple swings...?




steph had dreams of a mignola-esque JLU!


for the purposes of this exercise i choose to believe that timbo is still robin too, lurking and tumbling around in his swanky red suit. he and steph are super sweet at the "flying south" formation on either side of bruce when need be, but make no mistake; steph's feet are firmly planted in her shin-stompers.

in non-geeky art news, i scored another commission with the las vegas weekly, which is all to the good and much appreciated. but this time the concept's basically entirely up to me, and it is due tuesday. gah! so to those of you who are expecting commissions/obligations fulfilled, um. i solly. can i haff a few days IOU? i am good for it, and if i welch out, you may TP my LJ. fair's fair!

Those boots look amazing. And I love the seams!

I love all of these; the costume looks unique and functional, but still definitely feels like a very "Robin" kind of suit. Thanks for sharing them!

I really like the design of her top, interesting combination of Bat and Robin.

Wow. This is gorgeous. I love the expression of her face in the one where she's sitting, and how she's handling the batarangs. Gives the idea of a Steph that's both calm and violent, a sort of dangerous maturity, I guess. It's beautiful.

OK, first of all, I think I just had A Moment over those boots. Those are kick ass fucking boots.

Also, her expression and the way she's sitting and she just...she looks dangerous. Amazing.

Oooh, wow, this is gorgeous. I love the nightwingesque uniform design, and her shit-kicking motorcycle boots.

…do you have a hi-res version I could put on my desktop?

Oh, my heart, it's Steph as she should be, grown-up and utterly ass-kicking and gorgeous. She looks like she could take on an army and never hit the ground.

You utterly rule. (And when you have time, I'd like to ask you about a commission.)

I love the corset look and the kinda inverse of green and red. Makes her stand out. The boots: I want them. Badly. I really love how the cap has a yellow trim instead of a yellow interior.

I really hope the guys at Project Rooftop pick this after Wieringo week is over. I really do!

Ohhh, *awesome*. I love how much older she is, here, how *grown*. And mm, grown-up Robins are some of the best kind. The uniform redesign is completely awesome, because it manages to look both sleek and practical. Meanwhile, those boots are freaking deadly. *ha* Perhaps she will go after Cthulhu in her free time.

I think she'd look gorgeous flying with Bruce and Tim, and I think that surprises no one. Oh, that little *smile*. And all of those batarangs. I am in LOVE.

Wow. I love the costume design. It's actually looks feasible (not to mention deadly, OUCH those gorgeous boots) and sexy without being detrimental to the character's movement. I mean she's a vigilante and she looks like she could survive as one.

Oh, Steph, maybe you are better off being dead in their hands and alive in our heads.
