Note: Some say you never get a second chance to make a first impression, but Pericles Junior hopes to do that with his second rendition of the Teen Titans kids. After appearing here last month, Pericles brought back the kids and posed them more front-and-center to show off his various ideas for the costumes. While not all of them are home runs, I like the the militaristic Superboy — especially offset by the slacker Supergirl. – Chris A.
Note: It seems seeing your favorite heroes and villains transformed and twisted into new times and locales is a popular past-time for artists, as Costa Giovanni has stepped up to the plate and taken Gotham’s gang into the Wild West, Sergio Leone style. Costa’s style really works here, and the standouts for me are the turncoat Two-Face and the Native American Nightwing. Thanks, Giovanni! – Chris A.
Note: One of the biggest homegrown successes here at P:R has been Denis Medri‘s expert and rambuctious redesign of Batman and his supporting cast. Medri continues to work in this niche, and here’s some new illustrations the artist has done in that world. – Chris A.
Note: A new artist comes into the P:R fold today as Ha Huy Hoang submitted some excellent redesigns of Batman and his associates. Designed with the intention of it being an animated series, Hoang mixes practicality with straight-up cartoony-ness that is a lot to love. I especially love that Red Hood design. – Chris A.
Note: We’ve seen artists do super-hero mash-up costumes from years, from fan-driven ones to offical ones like the DC/Marvel Amalgam books and the more recent Phoenix Five heroes in Avengers Vs. X-Men. And now, the energetic artist Corey Lewis has turned into us a mash-up that leaves them all in the dust — Sailor Moon meets Batgirl. Lewis has really made this more than just a quick wardrobe changing, putting alot of thinking to make this a cohesive design that’s faithful to both characters. The only question I have is… does this make Batman Tuxedo Mask? – Chris A.
Note: After reimagining Batman, Nightwing and Robin in the seedy 1950s greaser scene, artist Denis Medri returns to take a look at the rogues of Gotham and more of Batman’s supporting. Catwoman, Joker, Poison Ivy and Bane join Batgirl, James Gordon and Alfred in round out this amazing collection of Rockabilly gothamites. It’s interesting to note that reimagining Catwoman for the 1950s brings her costume full circle, close to her original suit from the 1940s. – Chris A.
Note: Readers of Project: Rooftop have seen Ming Doyle grow to become an artist dynamo. She won our Superman: Man of Style contest, ranked high with her cosplay of Batgirl, and has become an integral part of the site. Doyle recently began doing work at Marvel on Girl Comics #1 and the recent Fantastic Four #600, and we’re excited to see what she does next! – Chris A.
Note: Batman: The Animated Series inspired an entire generation of artists, and storyboard artist Matthew Humphreys is paying that forward with this set of inspired animated reboots of some of Gotham’s Finest. No Batman here, but he’s not needed with the style and substance on display. Check out Poison Ivy’s cloak, and the haunting redesign of Clayface! – Chris A.
Note: With the winter season soon approaching, P:R is dusting off their winter wardrobe and artist Hanie Mohd read our mind with these mesmerizing pictures of DC heroines (and a villainess or two) in full-on sweater weather. – Chris A.
Note: Jill Thompson’s one of the greats when it comes to comics, from her early work on Wonder Woman to her dalliances with Sandman and her creator-owned work with Scary Godmother and Beasts of Burden. Be that as it may, she has an itch to return to super-heroes. Look at the imagination going on from this piece she did back in 2006! – Chris A.
