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.
(PMing right after submitting work is most helpful)
- 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 ninth challenge, Shade invites you to witness the rebirth of Jean Grey! Unfortunately, Ms. Grey is naked and her costume is nowhere to be found! She needs you to design her a new look before she hits the spotlight!

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

PARTICIPANTS - PLEASE REMEMBER TO PM ME ABOUT YOUR IDEAS FOR NEXT CHALLENGE!

Os-kays! Like every pic of Miss Grey I could find was a conservative body suit, so I tried to give her a bit of a sexy look. I kept her gold sash that she wears with her Phoenix outfits, but made it more X-Men-ish. I kept her long hair, but put a bit of a spunky spin on it.

it's almost an all black one...with red in the middle and a redder burnt siena for the belt-like thingies...maybe a few yellows

Since Jean's original Phoenix costume is so iconic and perfect, I felt the need to simply alter that design. Modernize it a bit.

Unfortunately no time for a completely worked out design so a rough sketch instead.
When Phoenix returns it wil be when the Phoenix has been repaired again, its shards all collected and reconstituted into a whole. as a result Jean returns in mortal form albeit with limited cosmic powers.
Her powers include strong levels of telepathy and telekinesis, cosmic senses, able to survive in extreme enviroments such as space, pyrokinesis, molecular restructuring and precognition.
Jean puts her talents to use as protector of earth, seeking out potential threats and trying to squash them before they have a chance to threaten earth.

Herogirl – I like this costume. The colors and the shoulder pads are very medieval and make the whole look appear to be something out of legend, as the Phoenix is. I like the ponytailed hair, very Star Fighter and pretty also. My main complaint is that the color scheme ventures away from the Phoenix mythos.

Cheap_Josh – The whole look felt very Age of Apocalypse to me, from the tattered cape to the Magneto circles on her legs. The design overall isn’t a bad one, however, I feel that if Jean came back soonish and saw all of her friends wearing this sleek, modern costumes she probably would go for a similar look.

Aljira – I like the designer a ton ton. It has a lot going on, but never got too busy. And even with all of its components, it was able to achieve the body suit look that Jean has always seemed to sport. I failed horribly at reading comprehension, though, and gave complete disregard to your wishes for coloring…but I am sure they are better than my vague estimations were. Well done sir, well done.

And now it’s time for class….more later

Hopefully

By far AnkaleRa's one. I really like that one... Why didn't you post the colored version?

And now time for my excuses. I couldn't finish mine on time. (And it is not gonna happen any time soon.)

I was going to post the naked one, then the costumed version... But I ran out of free time to do so. So I apologise.

(I know I'm not gonna get votes :frown: but I'd like some feedback if possible)

Edit: I've just made another mistake!!! (I hate myself)... I was talking about Aljira's drawing... Is there some way to change the vote (And I'm not saying that I didn't like the others, It is just that Aljira's one is really cool)

Yeah, I wasn't sure if it was just JG or Phoenix, so I went with the former.

Thanks for the comments... I was going to color her in but I lost the original .fla file so I'd have to re-do everything.
