Description

I made it in time for the deadline by the skin of my teeth with this one, hence the sketchy style of the illustration. :)

Any ways, the brief was:
We want you to design us a piece inspired by superheroes and comic books. We're giving you pretty much free rein on this challenge, since it's the first one, so interpret it as you will. Design us a casual outfit, a business suit, an evening gown, whatever. It's up to you.
The only requirement is that it gets across a superhero and/or a comic book theme.
You can choose a particular Super hero/heroine, but can just take it as a general theme if you so choose.
Oh, and we want it FASHION not a superhero's COSTUME. Please keep that in mind.



My inspiration for this was my favourite super hero, Batman.
One of the reasons I like Batman so much is that he doesn't have any super powers, he's just an ordinary man who has taken it upon himself to do extraordinary things. He doesn't have to do any of what he does, but he has chosen to protect the city he lives in none the less.

***

This outfit is for a hero like Batman; an ordinary person who does extraordinary things.
Everything is simple and functional.

The petrol blue wool dress has big, gathered pockets for all the essential gear one might need while out fighting bad guys. Underneath there's a stripy cotton 3/4 sleeve T-shirt & calf length leggings (much more practical than a catsuit!) to keep our hero warm during chilly nights.

The outfit also includes a mustard coloured hobo-bag for everything that won't fit into the pockets (possibly for carrying some sneakers, since running in heels is only possible in movies ;)) and dark brown-grey leather boots with kitten heels.

All the materials are chosen to be easy to clean and care for, since one does tend to get a little mussed and dirty fighting crime. :D

Lines drawn with pencil on paper, colours filled in in Photoshop. Original drawing is about an A4.

I like your style and the colors :)
