Artist Michael Lunsford did a great job putting these sketches together.
This is not artwork of Super-Moms, although it could be, but a look at what female superheroes would look like if they were–well–fully dressed.
Here’s what the artist had to say about his project:
Done doing these so here they all are in one place! Fully Dressed Redesigns of Superheroines.
Point of this: An exercise in character design, attempting to clothe the heroines nearly all the way and not making them painted-on, while still keeping the look of their original costumes in some way. Hopefully keeping them looking as iconic as the originally were. Just showing what can be done with a costume breaking outside the barrier of the norm.
NOT the point of this: some moral code I’m trying to push on you.
I think it’s sad that he felt the need to add such a disclaimer. The idea of presenting female superheroes in a less sexualized way seems more like a compliment to women than something to apologize for.
None the less, Lunsford’s work is done really well. Talent, indeed!
I’m pretty sure this is what a Super-Mom looks like.
