Gim has had some beautiful costumes, hasn't he?
I particularly like #5 & 6 in the first row.
It was Giffen who designed #6 from that era, I think. I loved his costumes then and during the early TMK run.

I really like his first suit, too.
With a stand-up collar and a head piece in red or green, it would have been prefec.
I think.

Very fun!

I believe Giffen designed both costumes, though I may be mistaken about #5. I do believe it was during the "New DC" phase around LSH #300 when Giffen was still on the title his first go.

I've always had a weird fondness for the Magic Wars costumes too. There's something about overly complicated outfits that I aesthetically love.

That's funny, because I think of them as extremely simple in design!
All three have big, simple shapes and straight geometric lines - no capes, no underwear, no pads and little flesh or lots of colors.

The first is yellow, green and red.
Five is red and blue.
#6 is red and 2 shades of blue.
The white and black are kept to a minimum and serve as neutral accents.

I'm especially fond of costumes that look like cloth, too, not the painted on versions.

Interesting.

Of Lu's costumes, which are vast, I like best the last of the reboot designs with the half skirt and white tights (#10 in the first row) and the much earlier purple and gold body suit that spits into the two colors (#4).

I really like her current/original one (last one in the second row), as well.
To update it a bit, I'd remove the cape and boots and give her gold full tights with the skirt in the front shortened and then, lengthen it in the back for a tapered look.
sigh

My three favorite looks for Tinya are her her Phase costume that she wore in .LEGION/.REBELS, her reboot outfit with the cape and 'white outside and black inside' body suit and finally, the Prime version of the pantsuit.

Those are the first row, #4, sort of, and #7 of the same row.
The last one is #1 in the second row.

I might try to update the looks using your basics, for some of my favorites, if you don't mind.

For Garth, third row, #s 1, 2 and 6.
I prefer Garth as kind of grungy, actually.

Imra, her currant look, #8 in the first row, and numbers 6 & 7 in the second row, although I really like her hair in the ponytail of #1 of the second row.
That was Primeboot, wasn't it?
I disliked that SG but liked the hair by Kitson.
I love the short hair she has now, though, too.
It just seems to fit her age and personality in the retroboot and she reminds me of Sam, whom I love, from SG1.

My favorite Rokk costumes are his current one, #6 in the first row, PrimeCos #1 of the second row and finally, #6 of row 2.
I really prefer Cos in purple and I like him to have the metal circles for weapons.

I don't mind! I'd just ask that they be posted to another thread so I can keep this a proper archive.

Thank-you, so much!
I think that you use some sort of program for the basic figures, but the detail is incredible!

I work at 800% for everything but the sketches I do to begin a project, and boy, even MY eyes see the detail.

Beautiful work.

My favorite Duo Damsel costumes are the Cockrum and Giffin ones. I love the split effect on both. Yellow is a good accent color with the purple and orange, and those boots are just great.

Thanks, Candle. Yeah, I put a lot of needless pixel layers in sometimes because I just think it helps make the colors and shadows pop better.

And while I'm completely Adobe product and Photoshop/Illustrator trained, I use oldschool MSPaint from like Windows98 to make these. True story! It's just the easiest for me to work with given the punitive subject matter.

I think I know all the eras you're pulling from, but there's a couple I'm not 100% on.

The looks that precede the "Legion of Super-Heroes" cartoon... are they from the "Superman" animated series?

And the ones that are almost an echo of the original look, with a couple minor variations (placed near the end of each of your postings) are they from the "Superboy's Legion" elseworld?

Again... great job!

You got it, Exnihil! The bottom rows or last ones are typically the animated versions followed by Elseworlds. The ones you mentioned are indeed from the Superman and JLU cartoons with the final one being from Superboy's Legion.

Sometimes I jump the order of some of the Elseworlds around, specifically the Arthur Legion costumes like for Cham by moving it to after the Preboot/TMK/Retroboot, just to appease my sense of balance. I didn't want to create a third row for Cham just yet but I also didn't want the image so bottom-heavy or to split groups.

I'm strange like that!

Should I start including some type of labeling system?

hey where's Cham's present costume..the one with short sleeve that is now regularly appearing in LSH? I admit...I found the short sleeve looks good on Cham. *gulp* smile

I especially love Cham's outfits with the purple in them and the Camelot look.

His costumes tend to be bland, I think.

That's the fifth one over, top row! It technically appeared before his short-lived, long sleeve variant so that's where I inserted it chronologically.

All previous entries have been updated with labels! Apparently my chronology of Gim's costumes was backwards when it came to the 70s. Yikes. I also went back and included previously unseen Micros for the Smallville, 40s Postboot, and 50s Postboot Legions.

COMING SOON: Lyle Norg and the retcon of Kid Quantum!
