Make Me a Super Hero: Challenge #6

[AnkaleRa]

First and foremost, welcome to Make Me a Superhero! This will be a weekly challenge of sorts. In which all posters are welcomed to post a design for the challenge. There really aren’t all that many rules for this thread.

- The picture of your design should be cropped to 550x800.
- Criticisms are welcomed, but in a polite and civil way. We don’t want to put anyone down, but help to improve their work.
- On every other Wednesday I will post the challenge. If you are interested in participating in the challenge of question, post the picture (via photobucket, imageshack, etc.) and a brief description of the characters back story, powers, and how your character ties into the challenge. You have until 11:59 p.m (CST) on Sunday to post your entry.
- That following Monday, I will post a voting thread, in which everyone is free to vote for which character they liked the most.
- The winner of that challenge get’s to choose the next challenge.
- After a competitor has entered their entry, please pm me with your idea for the next challenge, before the voting period ends.
- Once again this is just a friendly design contest. So no eliminations. Furthermore, there is no commitment involved with Make Me a Superhero. So if you feel like playing one week and not the next, which is perfectly fine.

And to end it off… have fun!

Challenge: For your sixth challenge, I invite you to redesign our favorite British to Asian purple-haired chick, Psylocke. For this challenge, however, you must pretend that Psylocke never joined the Exiles and that she rejoined the X-Men after her showdown with the Shadow King.

Once again, I will be taking charge of this contest until pryde comes back.

Yay!

Hopefully this time around we'll have a much better turn out, because the last round was embarassingly disappointing! If I have to, I'll submit two designs!

so i have to know continuity?.....
Last I saw betsy was in uncanny after the savage land thing...Mostly bought it for Alan Davis art, then tom raney came around, and I stopped caring, only came back to the x-fold after destiny (between onslaught & destiny a few books sprinked here & there)
So...Should I just redesign her however I want and pay no mind to where she was/is?


edit:
oh and I promise to actually finish this time...

[AnkaleRa]

Sorry for the confusion about Betsy. I simply meant that you should be redesigning her while keeping in mind that she's part of the X-Men, not Exiles.

Also, for a reference of her previous costumes go here:

Also, you can read up on her here:

I had a couple of hours to kill this morning so I whipped this up. I wanted something form-fitting, fun, and vaguely reminiscent of Psylocke's outback armor. It's a little messier than I like, but I did have fun.

[Meathawg]

wow thats great :)

and apologies to the o.p., decided to take a whack at'er and hell Im really quite liking my pic :) Went with her original asian-psyloke costume tho as Im not terribly familiar with her, was never one o my faves...

but ole Antonin's set the bar pretty high :P

good stuff so far.

I can't get past trying to slightly modifiy ninja bikini.

[sparta28090]

Sorry to disappoint you guys but I got nothing this challenge. I know, I know, it saddens you all, but there is always another time....hehehehe.

2 things in the latest postings I need to point out!

A) Voting will be hard this round thus far because, frankly, the submissions are that fierce!

B) Psylocke has always been lame and you guys have turned her into a dame and Marvel needs your game because the art is stunning and insane!

[Aljira]

ok.

so what i did was tap into her ninja background more...so more asian flava...

had her wear shades of purple too...

somehow her face turned more cartoony than what i envisioned her to be but i guess it's still ok...

Omg...wow....

*jealous mode*

Now I've got to try and outdo all these entries!!

here goes.
went with her early x colors.

[AnkaleRa]

Excellent Guys! Keep them coming!

And I'm currently finishing up mine... soon.

[AnkaleRa]

All Done!

I played off the subtle asymmetry of her ninja bathing suit and amplified it a bit more. Plus, I wanted to give a "fashion forward" feel to it, to reference her time as a model, since she does has a "to-die-for" body. And for the color, I decided she could move away from the blue and purple. So instead I made it white with hints of a pale purple, almost as an iridescent feel.

[AnkaleRa]

Four and a half hours left kids. Let's get them entries in! Make it work!

[Shade101]

I don't think I'll be able to finish mine in time. I haven't been able to settle on one design theme, and everytime I try and think of a costume design all I can come up with is a redesign of that stupid blue leotard/thong costume, and I hate that costume so much. And since I don't want to do a rush job on the coloring, I think I'll just have to forfeit this match.

It's my fault though, because I procrastinated the entire time, instead of just sitting down to take the time to really design something for her.

*sigh*

[AnkaleRa]

For shame!

Well, one hour left people. Hop to it!

[AnkaleRa]

Well, that's it folks. I'll post the voting thread in a minute. And we'd better get more than 20 votes this time around.
