The winners rock, but I’m getting Kathryn Marusik’s kimono-bolero made for myself.

Great results. Congratulations to Jemma, Matt and Carley for their long overdue wins.
Project Rooftop gives us something the rest of the internet doesn’t: in-depth peer review comic book art critique. I love reading your reviews almost as much as I do seeing the entries. It creates valuable perspective. I hope the runners-up have more reviews.

This was a crap load of fun. Thanks for the review, I very much enjoyed it. :)

These redesigns are pretty awesome. I love the redesign from Jemma. Kind of a badass feel yeah? There is something about Jenny Park’s entry that I am totally digging. Great job all around everyone. :) I’m excited to see the honorable mentions and late entries~

Lots of stuff to love here, and I have to agree that Jemma’s is the best of the lot (I’m dying to see it with longer hair though), the jacket/cape in particular is a great addition.

Mat Major’s take would make for an awesome Young Canary costume, perhaps for a future Canary though, rather than the past or present iterations. And do the book in pencils on off-white paper, seriously, those are outstanding!

Jonathan MacNally’s piece begs for more attention to me, I’d love to see more artists play with it and see if they can find a perfect way to do that canary cutout (maybe rising up through and then over/onto the breasts?), but even then, I can’t imagine what sort of book they’d actually use it in.

Though they should probably be attached to something a bit more jacket-like, I love the kimono sleeves on Kathryn Marusik’s piece and the yellow piping on the bodysuit is a nice touch as well.

James Crabb’s is almost perfect, but feels like it should belong to a character that can fly.

Alex Mitchell’s screams Final Fantasy to me, not really a bad thing, but, well, wrong universe :)

If she didn’t already exist in his book, I could see Barbara Tarr’s design fitting right into Frank Miller’s All-Star Batman & Robin.

Calvin – Yeah, Alex really brought it! First Runner Up ain’t bad, though. Very good show.

Ah didn’t make it. Personally I would have placed Alex Mitchell higher up there. That’s probably my favorite of the designs.

Oh, Carly Monardo’s is easily my favorite. It just screams “Dinah” at me!
Jemma Salume’s designs are always fantastic and this one’s no exception, though yeah, while the heels look really cool they don’t really work for me.
