Project Rooftop and GirlWonder.org are teaming for a week of Supergirl costume revamps, which a celebrity panel then judges:
Starting today, Project: Rooftop is teaming up with Super. Girl., a Girl-Wonder.org project, to bring you a week-long Supergirl appreciation event! Here at P:R, we’re going to be reviewing our top picks from last month’s Draw Supergirl meme throughout the week, and on Friday, S.G. will be posting a comprehensive article on Supergirl’s costume history.
Our reviewers for this event include Project: Rooftop regulars Chris Arrant, Dean Trippe, Joel Priddy, and Vito Delsante, and special guest reviewer, Jessica Plummer from Super. Girl. Alright, let’s get this going!
Above, Joel Priddy’s offering.
There’s some really nice art on that site. Makes me want to re-think how I draw.
Great designs. Personal faves include the McClaine and Priddy images. The Rooftoppers often skew away from established costume design for their characters, so I think it’s interesting how many of the reworks are still cleaving pretty closely to Kara Zor-El’s patented DC look. Suggests to me that this character is iconic for these creators in a way that others might not be.
That makes a degree of sense, perhaps. The characetr tends to bomb with readers whenever her duds don’t match the general Superfamily colors and design, e.g. the Seagle run of a few years ago, with a brunette, darkly-clad impostor Sgirl. But maybe I’m biased. I thought Conner Kent’s black tee and bluejeans ensemble was a mistake.
