Wonder Woman Redesign by Rory Phillips
About this: “I have always thought Wonder Woman should look more like a warrior, and less like a pinup. The Amazons of Classical Greek lore were from the region of Scythia. I wanted her outfit to reflect that culture and be almost ceremonial.
Meteor Hammer: I know her lasso is one of her Icons. But it comes from the lurid pseudo-bondage themes of pulp comics, and is to pinup. So I modified it to an exotic warriors weapon, a Meteor Hammer, a length of rope with weighted ends, think Gogo Yubari from Kill Bill.
Death Mask: She needs a way to protect her identity, so I gave her a Ceremonial Amazon Death Mask she could wear into battle. It would be good for headbutting too.”
so there for this
fuck yes, fuck yes.
i think i’m in love
That is fantastic! Wow!
As much as I like her traditional costume (which was based on athletic attire of the 40s) this is hella cool. Husband says “Mask needs boar’s tusks” cause that was the original symbol of the gorgon and yeah
Thank you for addressing the creepy fetish origins of the lasso, this its great
