This really is a great thread. The Remake/Remodel stuff is totally in high gear.
KG -
I felt really inspired to draw after seeing everyone's gorgeous artwork, so here's my interpretation of domino lady..
She's a young mischievous party girl, with a self invented "gun" strapped to her right wrist. Yep, a gun that shoots dominos...It looks like a clunky modernist bracelet so no one really asks what it is, plus it matches her skirt. ^_^ I wanted to show that the dominos on the bracelet will turn every time she shoots a domino (like the barrel of a gun) but I don't really know how to draw the mechanism.. >_<
I love Doktor Nick's and Alberto's Domino ladies most!
And many many thanks to Paul Sizer for showing his roughs and drafts! I always like to see how the concept is modified over revisions! Thank you! Your piece is one of my favs too! ^_^ -
This thread is awesome. I must check out the rest!
Anyway, there's a lot of great art here, but the ones I found myself the most drawn to were the ones with interesting new backstories. I, um, may have taken notes as I went through the thread (because you are all Just That Great!)
@MartinWhitmore -- Your concept made me laugh, and I like the use of color!
@Hana -- Whoa. Creepy. Also awesome, but really, creepy.
@frequentcontributor -- That first piece, her makeup is arresting. And I love the dress. Plus, the reimagination: charities as another iteration of the "domino" theme in a revenge plot? V. cool. Beautiful work!
@ArtGarfunkel -- One of my favorites. Mature woman with corporate power and an awesome backstory? Sign me up! Also, the TIME cover is really well executed.
@trigger25 -- One woman Anonymous. ONE WOMAN ANONYMOUS. That's perfect! And I like the outfit you gave her, too!
@johnmuth -- Way to think about the details of a costume. Every time I see a superhero in heels, I can only think "that would never happen," and it throws me right out of a story.
@Mr.Smite -- Love the terrorism/anarchy angle and the practical outfit and that logo is flat-out inspired. Good thinking on the backstory. One of my faves!
@Miranda -- That's incredibly well-drawn and also creeps me the hell out. Good job.
@DisContent -- Beautiful. Just beautiful. I love the composition of the panel and of the backstory, and I like the play on the name, too. Excellent.
@PaulSizer -- That retro poster is lovely, but your final concept and art are just awesometastic. Shades of Hard Candy in a Japanese comic book vigilante setting, plus goregous, vibrant, dynamic art. I think this is my flat-out favorite!
@JeffHolland -- Superhero as brand plus mysterious middle-aged female leader = A Really Great Concept.
And, yep, possibly no one cares, but I loved this thread so much I had to share. So much fun! :D -

We're happy you're doing these R:R's.
So... how about a new one, eh? ... Too soon? -

Talk about a blank slate of a character. Going in to too much is a pen portrait, so...
I decided to ditch the domino theme entirely. Big fat bug eye sunglasses swapped for the domino mask (because you look a lot less suspicious wandering around in those) and changed the slinky gown for more of a dancing-type gown with LOTS of petticoats and so on.
To cover up the ridiculous amount of pistols strapped to her legs.

I know I'm a little late in posting this as Warren's already put up some of the others' designs, but here you go. I did this in ink and quickly colored it in photoshop. I liked Mr. Smite's idea of the outfit being the one she wore witnessing her father's death. It helps explain a rather impractical crime-fighting ensemble. I don't really see her really as a butt-kicking hero anyway, more a sleuthy, shadowy figure who survives by her wits. -
I've been enjoying these a lot, and Warren, thanks for posting my entry along the great ones in warrenellisdotcom, that explains why more than one people is Google-ing my name today

dig what you did there mr. furious
man, i wish i knew/learned how to draw :) -
Nothing holding you back, Pat! :) Nobody's born with the ability to draw like a mad genius - its all down to practice and experience. Thats the beautiful thing about it!

Excuse a bit of fangirl gushing... can't believe I made Warren's page with Ryan and Paul and all my other fave entries! Thanks Warren!!
Mr Furious, your girl is WORKING those ruffles! -

Thanks much for the "B.P.M." mention on the blog, Warren. I got fan mail from a DJ in Barcelona who heard about the book through some connection at WhiteChapel.
Making time for one more creative salvo for the year, thanks for the opportunity to stretch the creative muscles... -

Sorry, I hadn't checked the site yet.

Ready and waiting! It makes mondays somewhat less 'blah' with something to look forward to. -

It feels sort of messed up to say you're ready for Monday, doesn't it? Monday is like the Anti-Saturday, tempting your week into Hell and Fire.
@ Amanda P, Pat!, shining_lion - thanks much.
