Looking at the lego designs of the glory days, they’re not really the best costumes designs. At least for my own opinion and others’. Some of them look either boring, ugly looking, didn’t really match their personalities/powers, and/or look too similar to another super. So I decided to do my own little lineup work with not only redesign their colors and suits but also measure up their heights.
We have from left to right: (1947, 15-16 before the present time)
Mr. Incredible, Elasticgirl, Gazerbeam, Psychwave, Thunderhead, Gamma Jack, Blazestorm, Frozone
Some notes about their designs that nobody asked/cared/agree.
Mr. Incredible, Elastigirl, Gazerbeam, Thunderhead, Frozone: I didn’t really change much or none at all. I made the main base for Gazerbeam a darker purple/blue color. Gave Thunderhead a more blue sky color blue, matching his lighter mood than gloomy colors. More appealing for kids’ eyes and made his cape a more round shape. (Giving each cape more different traits than the same basic cape shape)
Psychwave: I just find her design too bland looking, though I kept the color purple for representation (wisdom, knowledge, mind). And gave her a complementary color scheme. Green really helps her logo stand out than black. Also, her frame is petite because according to her stats, she very much lacks strength, agility, and indestructible. So I made her a small woman. But she makes up with her pretty scary mind controlling. Don’t be her enemy….
Gamma Jack: Blue cannot be his color! Sure is a complementary color to his blog hair and is a popular color (Dark blue gives off a more calm aurora). But there are already at least 5 supers that are blue (especially males). I had to make him stand out with red. Dark Red representing power, energy, danger, and war. He’s still appealing to people though (he has the same scheme as MCDONALDS and another fast food restaurant. (Look it up.) And from looking too similar with the Incredibles Family designs, I made his design with yellow stripes and dark red base. (Dark Red has darker themes/meanings)
Blazestorm: I really like the bold bright blue colors, especially how the compliment her skin tone. But I thought the blue look too similar to Frozone’s color scheme. So I gave her a warmer color of blue with some purple and keeping it bright looking too. The yellow really helps her logo stand out (thank you complimentary scheme). Warmer Blue vs Frzone’s cold blues. Finally, I made her more bustier build than the generic female superhero model. Local girls can look up to her and see themselves in her. Her frame is based off my friends.
I’m not completely happy with these designs, might change them again in the future. But it really helped out my figure drawing for my Figure unit in my art class. Finally, I’m practicing color theory! 8 supers down, the other half to go! OOOOF! This is the rough draft piece (that’s why the no hair, face, and masks), solely to focus on character frame and color design before the faces and hair.
