SubscribeNote: Kris Anka‘s grown by leaps and bounds from being a P:R regular to a in-demand artist for all the major American publishers, but here’s an offhand design Anka did for fun that a certain publisher should stand up and take notice. Taking a drastic step away from the more militaristic approach from last week’s Supergirl post, Anka took on the teenage fun of the character and also turned the cape into a more stylish looking addition to the wardrobe. – Chris A.

/ February 6, 2013Not to be a party pooper but this is a just a fan rendition of the Jim Lee designed New 52 Supergirl.

/ February 6, 2013Edward, yihdego: Look at the cut of the front of the cape. Look at the design of the “S” logo.

/ February 6, 2013The cape is cut *slightly* differently. But apart from that, it does look an awful lot like the new 52 suit.
Chris A.
/ February 6, 2013Yes, it does. As does the New 52 suit to the ones prior. Sometimes a good redesign is about merely tweaking what’s already there.

/ February 6, 2013Plus a character actually smiling makes all the difference in the world. I also don’t see the red crotch piece. It could be a more traditional one piece with the new style cape

/ February 6, 2013This doesn’t work for me. I actually kind of prefer the cut of her cape in the original New 52 design- it complimented the shape of her S-Shield (Example: http://media.comicvine.com/uploads/7/78618/2461782-supergirl_vol._6_1.jpg). This just seems to cover up the S-Shield. I can’t really speak to the rest of this design because you can’t see it, though the upper body is pretty much exactly the same as the current design, down to the seams on it. It is definitely a very nicely drawn, fun image though! If nothing else it got the feel of Supergirl down.

/ February 6, 2013I like the cape. I can’t really tell whats going on under the belt but i would prefer is supergirl had pants.
