This is the classic costume



This is one that a model named Leslie Culton created for a convention



This one is a cover as biker



There was for a time a great manga-oriented series, which stood alone and actually had nothing to do with Vampirella...it was called VAMPI




At one time she had a special suit, made by some Vatican Nuns to seriouosly attack vampires, since the stakes came from the cross of Jesus.



Scream Queen Julie Strain even had a costume made




and here she has gloves, courtesy of Tucci


But gloves are really just an accessory.
She has had gloves, a brown and a black leather jacket, a cape and sometimes a mini-skirt or a dress...

Her long boots have been known to be under but also way above her knees...

or a nothingrevealing huge coat is also something she choose in the series VAMPIRELLA REVELATION

[boomvavavoom]

I could show you... but then I'd have to kill you.

...

No, I won't post it, sorry. You'll probably see it pop up on P:R's site, when they post the winners and/or runners up though... it's THAT good. ... AND Belgian!

[boomvavavoom]

ahem

maybe a new course of action is necessary.

Do see me as an expert in the Vampirella area and Harris era and do see it befitting to USE that knowledge in feedback-propositions!!!

[Rogue]

What exaclty do you have to make of design of Vampirella? A "re-design"?
Meaning a new suit, of even her total look re-designed in a way it would be able to draw her like that in a comic book?
There's a lot of info about the judges but very little about the subject itself ^^;

[grafunkel]

Well, the subject is pretty clear, I think, as posted by Boom at the beginning of this thread. They want to see a redesign of the Vampi costume, not a re-imagining of the Vampi concept. (So I suggest you don't try altering her origin, or her personality... or her bra size. Heh.)

The usual guidelines of Project:Rooftop also apply, and they can be found on their site, here.

[grafunkel]

Done.

Sent my entry in yesterday morning.

[boomvavavoom]

great

can you show it here already?

I won't tell if you won't tell

[grafunkel]

Just a small, low-rez version of it... and, sadly, I kinda killed my original pencil drawing (of which I was pretty chuffed, if I do say so myself) with the digital colouring. Photoshopped it to death.

Maybe I'll post the pencil art later.

[boomvavavoom]

wow

this looks VERY good!!!

You did however forgot to give her the iconic logo and the fact that her eyes are green, but that can easily be added lateron when you draw her adventures every month!

yes

I am indeed very very impressed!

her puff-sleeves
her hair
her eyes
her nails
that fur around her wrists

tell me what you thought of in redesigning her!

Thanks, Boom.

I did give her a stylized gold bat-logo-thing on her pants. Hope that counts. And I had no idea her eyes were green... dang.

Zoetica Ebb. Artist, photographer, model.

[boomvavavoom]

@logo: seen that. Thought it might be a cool redesign of that logo. Looks good!
@eyes: when doing a redesign you should take into account the standard worksheet for a character. The color of her eyes are green. Always. Not your fault though. These things happen.
@zoetica: rock on!!!

[grafunkel]

The pencils:

[idromy]

this makes me think of making a vampirellme re design , but since i can't draw to well all i could do is make a re desogn and cosplay it. perhaps something for next year since the whole anime thing si starting to bore me and i am looking for intresting chalenges.

[boomvavavoom]

that would SOOOO rock!!

We could have a Vampirella cosplay and I am sure (since I have befriended the editor in chief!!) I can get some stuff for a contest-prize!!

First a little cosplay-poll maybe though

[grafunkel]

Winners announced HERE!!!

This was the Grand Prize winning entry:

[boomvavavoom]
