It's the penultimate post of redesigns in the
Girls Gone Geek and
Superhero of the Month Starfire contest!
"I was always a huge fan of the original Perez design, especially the collar which always reminded me of an Egyptian Goddess. I started tailoring my design after ancient Eygptian fashion which to me fit perfectly with the character, and within the DC universe. The Egyptian women were very sexually liberated, often depicted bare chested, so that's kinda what I rolled with. Me and my girlfriend came up with the loose-fitting, see-through cloth so that she wasn't completely bare chested and then we added the straps as seen on some statues of Isis. The original version actually has no straps, but in the end we needed to keep things site-suitable (and at the risk of sounding like a creep I still prefer the original version)."
"The thought behind my Starfire was to create a grown-up version from the
Teen Titans animated series. Some inspiration is taken from her comic form, but the design is simplified for animation. I focused on the happy, energetic alien aspect of her character, rather then the warrior aspect."
"I wanted to keep her costume sexy and revealing, but make her more cute and fun at the same time. Less
Playboy, more playful. Also, I wanted to highlight that a costume can be revealing without being completely impractical."
"For my Starfire redesign, I wanted to go with something simple and clean, but with a little bit of sex appeal without showing all the goods. I'm more of a fan of
Teen Titans cartoon Starfire, but I also like pre-DCnU Starfire. I wanted to do a take as if the two were combined and a little more modest than Starfire has been. I like to think my Starfire remembers her friends and lovers."
"There's not much to say about it - she's a super-powered hippy with a fusion reactor for a haircut."
