So I got asked a few weeks ago to design the new costumes for the team that’ll be starring in the new Uncanny X-force Vol 2.
These designs were released today over on ComicsAlliance, along with an Interview with myself and Sam Humpries; the writer.
The interview can be found here
This is probably the most fun gig ive ever had to do my whole. Praying I get to do more of these haha.
But not only that, but a variant came out done by Olivier Coipel (my favourite comic artist), with my designs. which fucking blew my mind. I still dont think ive come to terms with it yet. But that can be found here
Next up, Lady Fantomex
So the prompt I got about how Nick and Sam wanted this character treated was to visually look just like a female Fantomex.
1. So with the first design I did I went for a straight up female version of the fantomex x-force costume. I altered the boots and gloves just to have some little visual differences.
2. I went a bit further with this one. I wanted more of a stealth look to her so i threw away the jacket and went for more of a ninja vibe. I also took the visual motif of the jagged stripes and ran with that a bit as well. Tried to do something a little different with it while keeping the same vibe of the original.
3. sort of a combination of the first two, but with more of a high-fashion-ness to the jacket. This is personally my favourite.
4. And then something completely out of left field. Just tried to throw something completely different in there. I still felt this was fantomex, but a huge visual departure.
