Description
So, you may have heard of Wonder Woman's new look [link] and how a lot of people hate it. I agree that it's not the best, and loses a lot of its iconicness, but I also like that she's no longer indecently exposed.So I thought up a compromise, blending the best bits of each look. I would love to see this happen.

The picture on that cover makes me think of black canary

Seriously. It's so... 80's. In a bad way.

Love this. Love the halftones, her expression, everything. I wish this was a t-shirt I could buy.

Very nice! This is much more "badass amazon" and less "where's the party"

This is a much better version than that one. I have to agree with one of the comments on the page showing the other costume saying "Notice that when Superman and Batman have been tinkered with no one touched the basic costume design. Thereβs a very good reason for that, and as usual DC doesnβt seem to think that the third part of their βtrinityβ deserves the same respect." This is a much better version of tinkering. The original idea for the costume is there but the tinkering is minor. Very nicely done.

people have been bitching and moaning about wonderwoman showing off to much ass and tits and now that there is a redesign they bitch and moan some more?
people are never happy.
scratch that. people ON THE INTERNET are never happy.
but i love it when you do superhero redesigns, especially with your retro yet unique style. i hope to see more in the future!

I've never really been a fan of wonder woman, but I do look the new costumes a lot. I also like your version better than the original one. Pants are more badass

the link WW looks like a spider man rip off. I really like this WW; as always, your drawings are bad-ass.

Yep, this is awsome- a great blend and better update. The jacket JMS came up with is a dumb idea- too 1990s.

I think this is a lot more true to Wonder Woman's iconic costume than the DC redesign. I especially like the stars on the pants. Ace stuff!

amazonian biker chicks? Totally goes together!

hate the new version, love your take on it.
honestly, while i totally get all the complaints about skimpy costumes not being practical, adding flimsy spandex pants and a jacket like they did for the new redesign doesn't make it any less impractical.
i actually love wonderwoman's original costume, but that may well be due in large part to kate beaton's adorkable drawings of her.

Wonder Woman is tough enough that she could fight naked, but that's beside the point.

This is almost exactly what I suggested in the Project: Rooftop discussion yesterday:

I like this as a compromise between the two looks.
I thought the new design was kind of pedestrian and a bit retro, but not awful. I was more annoyed by her physique in the picture I saw. Yeah, she's supposed to be statuesque, but come on! She's an Amazon warrior princess for crying out loud. Even if she has the bangin' curves, she should still have the shoulders and muscles to look like she could kick you ass up around your ears.

She's got pants! YES! That's exactly what she's been lacking all these years!

I don't think the new Wonderowman is that bad. it could be worse...they could have taken the "Superman Blue" route.
I like your design though. It's very retro. Does she have the "Invisible Jet" in your version?

Yes, it's in the background.

Goodbye shants. ΰ² _ΰ²
I really love this compromise, although I think the tiara woule look better with the pointy part on top.
Also, may I cosplay this?

As most everyone else has said, I like your design a lot more. They hardly kept any of the traditional elements of the original costume. I do approve of putting on some pants, though.

That's way better than the 'official' redesign. The only thing I'd change is to make the inside of her pants either jet black or white (probably black, let's face it, white super-pants would see a LOT of stains) to really make the blue stripes with stars stand out more and give it kind of that blocked out look, which I think makes it look...mmm, more like it could become an iconic look itself. But generally, I really like this look, I think you capture her spirit far better. With the other one, even her face doesn't look right to me.

This is MUCH better than her new outfit. Blending the two is much better than changing 'em completely! They should have hired you to design it!!!

Great design! I think it makes a great balance, I think I'd love to see this happen as well.

Im loving everything cept the pants..I dont think its the style..maybe the color. I cant put my finger on it but never the less good job. I enjoy your take on it, its very you.

I like your design best. There are still things I'd change about it but I definitely wouldn't complain if I saw this in the comics.

I like your version.
I think maybe the new costume forgot that the point was that she was all american flaggy.
At least the pants are still tight?

This is the best Wonder Woman design I have seen in a while. They should totally use it.

Now this is MUCH better! It's not indecent exposure, and this one doesn't feel... mundane like the new look? She looks almost like a normal person with her new look! D:

Yeah, as nice as the new look is, it's a bit TOO practical I think.
π: 0 β©: 1
Practical? It's not as bad as a cape, but it looks pretty grabbable to me.

I've never been Wonder Woman's biggest fan, but I do like her new look more - for the same reason you listed. However, I think you should be put in charge of drawing Wonder Woman now. She looks positively boss.

I'm one of those people that don't like the new design much. I agree, I love the idea of female superheroes covering up thier legs more (getting scratched up and hurt seems easier in thier bathing suits) but the new look lacks her.... iconic look. I do like her new gauntlets though. I like this much better. She's wearing proper boots! I don't know what was going on with her spandex/shoes in the redesign. It would be nice if they could incorporate the white on blue stars somewhere like in this piece. I dunno, i think with a few tweaks the new costume could be super cool.

I didn't mind her latest design; but I like how your version keeps it more iconic. Also, I love those boots.

I like this design better, comparatively

I like her new design, honestly. she looks a little biker chick, and I think it gives her a little bit of credibility as a hero. crimefighting in hotpants? ow my knees! or anything else, for that matter.
regardless, I like your design and the throwbacks it has.

This is beautiful, you took the best of both the original and the new design and combined them into an awesome new look

She looks like a lesbian pirate! Except... you know, she's Wonder Woman. But I like it!!
The boots are both kick-ass and sexy.

I like your design much more than the official new look. The new look doesn't give much credit to the old icon. And even if they are trying to have her more covered up, I don't give the new outfit credit for being...not fight practical. Your look seems to have much more of a "can fight" with "original style" and "not in a swimsuit".

Very nice. I've often wondered how women superheroes who wear those typical leg-and-thigh exposing tights keep from tearing their muscles and ligaments when fighting in not-so warm weather. :-~ I gotta say, leggings make more sense, and not just for avoiding sexist double standards.

The new design is awesome, in my opinion.And you design is pretty cool too β₯

y'know, Ive never seen the the other side (read: average woman's) thoughts about WW's previous outfit.
However, it is now clear that..... Up Until Recently, Comics Were Mainly For Male-Types! *GASP*
I like your interpretation of a combo of the two styles!

It's always frustrated me how Wonder Woman was shown to women as "Look, a role model!" and to men as "Look, an underwear model!"

I agree with you about removing the jacket but keeping the pants. The hip-stars though.....not so much.
