It sure looks tacky and dated to me <I>now,</I>though. I chose that specific costume to redesign because of my vague memories of Saturn Lad and also because it was just so <I>gol-danged feminine.</I> It seems like all of her other looks, from the original green-yellow-black number onward, have consisted either of jumpsuits or a combination of a long-sleeved tunic and leggings. There wouldn't be much I could do to them to make them more "manly."<BR/><BR/>I'm not all that broken up about how my Saturn Boy design turned out. I knew I was tackling a really difficult assignment, and on top of that I had given myself some pretty hefty restrictions. So to me, it's like I tried to scale Mount Everest but only made it 3/4 up the mountain. I didn't meet my goal but it's still an accomplishment.<BR/><BR/>Tyroc's costume on a girl? I think it would look perfectly appropriate -- if a bit slutty -- on a woman. No alterations required!<BR/><BR/>And daniel, thanks for dropping by!Jeremy Rizzahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08480479249595700846noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8796287.post-1141136714342038262006-02-28T08:25:00.000-06:002006-02-28T08:25:00.000-06:00Besides, next to Tyroc...Hey, there's an idea.

It's what gave me the idea for this, actually. I read a black-and-white reprint of that story in a cheap paperback maybe twenty years ago (yikes!) but it got lost and I could never remember which actual comic book it came from. The only thing that stuck with me was how unbelievably stupid Saturn Lad looked.<BR/><BR/>Verification word: "dehlhmz" -- it's how I pronounce "Doll Man" after a few martinis.Jeremy Rizzahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08480479249595700846noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8796287.post-1141121046515162952006-02-28T04:04:00.000-06:002006-02-28T04:04:00.000-06:00This costume's not bad at all!

You can't really tell from that picture, but Saturn Lad's side cutouts are solid white. I guess they felt the cutouts were too girly. Prince Projectur looks a lot like Dollman of the Freedom Fighters, by the way.Michaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15001530336692435773noreply@blogger.com
