Redesigned is a semi-regular feature showcasing redesigns that have been sent to us that aren't part of our regular contests.
The first few come from
Superhero of the Month regular Thomas Fummo, who had this to say about his designs:
"I recently finished an essay on Contemporary Black Cinema and its parallelisms with the history of Milestone Comics. Inspired, I did some redesigns of Milestone's three most famous characters.

| Thomas Fummo's Static |
"I was inspired by some of the redesigns I saw on
Project: Rooftop for the
Dwayne McDuffie tribute. I wanted to simplify the costume, incorporating elements from both of Virgil's costumes. I also changed the mask somewhat, as -- in the TV series at least -- his dreads caused him major problems in keeping people from associating Virgil and Static as the same person. I thought a bandanna-type mask might help him hide them better, especially with the coat's hood up as well.

"I tried to de-clunkify his armour, which always looked a tad over-complicated to me. I hope I've still managed to keep the essence of the character.

| Thomas Fummo's Icon |
"I tried to make him look as regal as possible - considering the character's reputation as a bit of a no-nonsense stiff. As many people in the past have noted that the New 52 Superman's cuffs and collar make him look too regal, I decided to adopt them in Icon's outfit. I also removed the straps and replaced them with some alien-looking markings."
We also received this fun Spider-Man redesign:

| Travis Lockhart's Spider-Man |
Editor's Note: The inversion of the webbing and blue areas definitely makes for an interesting take. There are more images -- as well as an animated version of this Spidey in action -- here!While technically fan art of the new Amazing
Spider-Man redesign, this piece was just too awesome to not share:

| Sarah Meissner's Spider-Man |
We've also picked up some redesigns and fun new takes on other characters recently, starting with this take on Poison Ivy from our
Batman Movie Villains contest winner:

| Joker Little's Poison Ivy |
"It's a minor redesign costume-wise, but a conceptual redesign for a legacy Birds of Prey team... the Teens of Prey! Left to right: Spoiler (Stephanie Brown), Speedy (Mia Dearden), Oracle, previously known as Proxy (Wendy Harris), and Black Bat (Cassandra Cain)."
"This drawing goes to say thanks to the 'founding fathers of Image'."
"
I started this redesign for the Starfire contest back in February but didn't get it finished in time for the deadline. Finally got it finished a while back so thought I'd share it."
"This was a redesign I did a little while ago. If I hadn't been judging the Batman Movie Villains contest I might have considered entering it, though I'm not sure how if it would've fit into any of the movie universes.
"His story is that after years of mutilating torture and brutal experimentation at the hands of the doctors of Arkham Asylum, the man known only as The Scarecrow, has become physically deformed and mentally scarred. Metal blades have been bonded to his bones making him a living weapon."
