What is the most powerful outfit in existence?

I think it's the colours more than anything that throw me off. I don't this outfit would look nearly as bad in black.

White is such an odd colour for a demon.

Or rather, you can have white but it needs to be quite potent to create strong aesthetic contrast. This is too much flesh.

I mean... the white skin-tight thigh-high boots are really begging for a miniskirt, aren't they?

But in white though, is the issue. Like, look at Him from PPG. He's in essentially the same outfit but the colours, body type and art style work.

...

Is this thread going to end with me trying to come up with a redesign for Trigon at least somewhat based on this outfit?

Maybe.

I agree that the white is a mistake. Reminds me of a girl I dated in my early twenties - she was beautiful and knew it... and liked to show it off with... thigh high boots and miniskirts. And even SHE didn't go for white ones.

Clearly the white is working as intended.

It has made you uncomfortable, and apalled. The goal of most demons, tertiary to their quest to damn mortals, and destroy the earth or whatever.

I’ve just realised where I know the look from.

Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman, specifically prior to her Richard Gere-funded Rodeo Drive shopping mission.

Sounds about right. Trigon is just looking for some rich white dude.

Okay so...



The rules going into this meant I had to try and preserve as many old design elements as possible. This meant the thigh highs, the head fan, the bracers and the belt skull all had to go in.

I went with the feather coat to evoke birds and give him a thematic parallel with Raven, I also reshaped his horns to better frame his six eyes and make his face shape a bit less human. I think the balance of colours works well here. He's showing skin, which is a Trigon staple, but it's a bit more controlled and his overall silhouette looks bigger and more imposing. I figure it could be a bit more amorphous in the coat with his magic.

Final, little bit of self-imposed lore, I like to think the coat is made from the feathers from the wings of angels he has murdered.

This was a fun exercise in design! He's ended up with a much greater helping of Wrestler Energy than I intended but that coat is very Macho Man.

[The Arbiter]

Brilliant! Angel Feathers is a sweet idea. He still has flare but it fits the theme a bit better. And hey, he isn't slouching! :P

[Jackalope89]

Easy; Nightwing's costume.

[Cthulhu_of_R'lyeh]

He got a booty, gawdayum.

[The Drunkard Kid]

I shall forever be disappointed that a live action Teen Titans movie with Trigon as the villain was never made while David Bowie was still alive.

[Captain Morgan]

He got a booty, gawdayum.

Nightwing has the best ass in comics.

I want to make a reference to the Super Robo Suit from the various Nippon Ichi games, but they weren't even the best gear in their own universes, much less comparable to a GL ring.
