Been working on this in my free time. Wanted to go full-on Sword of Might Cap Britain, but mix the best bits from Brian's classic look and Lionheart 2.0. The armguard is supposed have embellishments from Great Britain's Coat of Arms, like the three guardant lions on her gauntlet, but I feel like it's a cliche for asymmetrical metallic armguards among X-Men characters. Plus I'm not that great at detail. The yellow clasps at her neck are a lion and unicorn.
I went into this tryin to reconcile the ELIZABETH of the Captain Britain identity. The current design is lovely and has its fans —but I feel like Betsy, after years of ninja-ing and x-forcing, wouldn't be comfy in a voluminous cape or large expanses of white. This is trying to acknowledge all that recent bloodshed and adrenaline with her stately English and Otherworld heritage. Betsy may never be Britain's "Superman", but she may be its Wonder Woman —at Diana's most ferocious.
