Wow what a great costume sampling already! Sketch, my fav of yours is the first one you posted - probably cause of the coloring style. ded i really like your costuming on the lavendar 'legion ladies' piece!

I posted my new Atom Girl already, but here's an older Vi that I did a while ago...

My Violets from 2003:

Some alternate costume ideas based on the two colors Salu has traditionally worn, green and violet. These earned her the unfortunate appellation of "Eggplant Girl" from a young friend.

Dave King saw the above costumes, and offered a redesign, which I drew:

I love Dean's first portrait because it's a gorgeous drawing.
My favorite 'look' of Vi's is the one with the 3boot hair. It's so 'now' and fun.

But if I were going to design her, I'd go with the long ribbon wrapped ponytail and a combination of the purple collared outfit with the shear sleeves of the second look.
She's just so beatiful in a 'Vi' way.

I posted this on the Pirates and Ninjas thread too, but Salu doesn't get enough play and I like her as Asian.
I've seen a few drawings that suggest that for her and it's a great idea.
Culturally, it would explain her early, timid years.

I also like the change up of colors in her costume here.
There's no reason for her to wear violet if her code name doesn't use it, I think.

Wanted to put Salu and Ayla here, too.
