Visual Research

For the redesign of the character Kara I have been looking at strong female characters from different media such as movies, comic books and games. 

Characters such as Starbuck (Battlestar Galactica) and Sara Connor (Terminator) have both been female protagonists in roles which in the past may have been reserved for male characters.
Design wise I aim to produce a character design that will suit the universe and situation where she is placed. The character will have a combat ready/militarized feel likened to modern mercenaries and military personel as in the story of Hunters Human technology has regressed to a state similar to our current level. Looking at how Commander Shepherd (Mass Effect) and Dr Shaw (Prometheus) were equipped may be too futuristic for the aesthetic I am looking at.
The 2 portrayals of Wonder Woman were done by illustrator Stjepan Sejic. The left image was his redesign of the character. He comments that this design would be difficult to recreate from panel to panel because of the complexity of the design. The second image was done as part of a style test to try and make the character more manageable. This is another aspect of the characters new design to take into account.
