I’ve always loved the Guardians. This design is excellent, as it really gives you the whole “high-tech barbarian” look that Yondu should have.

I loved valentino’s run on GotG and Yondu was easily my favorite character. With all the renewed interest in cosmic characters I think it’s high time Marvel resurrected them. Nuno’s design is great, the holo-sight is cool.

With this design, Yondu could give any archer-hero a run for his money (Hawkeye, GA… I’m lookin’ at you guys!)

Even though I didn’t know a lot about the Guardians, I always loved Yondu because of his design. And this makes it even better.

I want a Yondu mini-series starring this version.

I was having an incredible sense of de ja vu, and realized I’d seen Nuno’s drawing on his dA account. He also has a rocking Starhawk on there. I’d love to see him do the rest.

That arm-guard looks incredibly sleek; it could easily be a full-sleeve/chest tattoo, some kind of Zatoan tribal marking. Very cool.

And, those pants are much needed. Yondu’s been running around in briefs for far too long.

Great design. Great style.

Looks fantastic! It would have been cool to see an added tool for the sonic control they’re supposed to have over their arrows (the wooden shafts are sensitive to the archer’s whistling). GotG was one of my favorite books for the fun it was able to have while being somewhat outside the mainstream Marvel continuity.

WOW. I’ve only read an issue or two of Guardians of the Galaxy, so I’m not incredibly familiar with the character, but I flipping LOVE this design. I was asked at a convention recently to draw a redesigned Yondu, and I think Nuno’s totally one-upped mine. The futuristic bow, simplified costume (PANTS were a good call), and Alves’s clean, beautiful style all make this one of the more striking pieces we’ve run. Great job, dude.
