Redesign the X-men: 2021 edition

[Harpsikord]

I've got a bunch of micro hero redesigns, but here's my most recent:



Jean Grey inspired by the SWORD redesigns.

The thing that kills me about this is that it this is more interesting than what she's currently wearing tin the official comics lmao


Austen run had a few good things. Like the sweetest X-cover is from his run.

And as promised, here's my rendition of your Rogue design with some flat colors to add some life:


I took a few liberties here, like keeping her waves. Overall it's a strong design and I'd only change the dark gray on the outfit since it looks too similar to Monet.

This STUNNING. Good work, both of you.

Here's another design I created today. This time it's Synch.
He was significantly harder to design because he has 3 costumes that I know of, 2 of them being Gen X costumes that the whole class wore and 1 is the most recent one, which is also a pretty generic "yellow X" design. So he doesn't really have a look of his own with recognizable elements like Rogue does.
Let me know what you guys think:

I like the idea of keeping him in red to add color variety to the team. Great work y’all.

My talentless and butt-ugly Jean Grey redesign, I also updated her codename.

NAILED IT! So much better than the current design.

That looks nice Factor!

Personally I kinda want Rogue in a non-green costume again. Especially if Jean and Polaris are using so much in their uniforms.

A red or maroon variant of this costume would be <3 as a bit of a call back to her X-Treme uniform.

not my art, unfortunately the link I followed did not give the artists name, though they are recognizable concept art...

That's from Lucas Werneck who's going to be contributing to X-Men 21. He did these redesigns:

And then eventually turned them into his own MCU fan art!

I'll start with a quick sketch I made for what I hoped would be Rogue's new X-men costume.
I was disappointed to see they just reused the 90s costume again and took no inspiration from Dauterman's incredible Gala design.
So I created something inspired by Dauterman, but mixing it with my favorite elements from the Chris Bachalo design and adding a recolor of the 90s bodysuit underneath.

Your design is really good! A lot of signature "Rogue" elements tastefully tied together!!

Wow, I'm getting David Aja vibes!

Thank you! I knew I recognized the art style from somewhere.

Anyway I attempted (badly, this my first attempt at color editing) to edit Werneck's concept desgin. I actually wanted red but somehow ended up with maroon... Which I guess is fine? Rogue and Gambit can switch costume colors for awhile and it looks kinda nice lol.



Speaking of which.

Yes.

If Rogue ever really used Simon's energy signature, the maroon and pink would actually go along with it, instead of contrast badly whenever she wears green.

Wow I absolutely love this! You're crazy talented!
Did you draw it digitally?

I love Lucas Werneck's designs and am glad he's going to contribute to the Gala issue. He was also one of the artists on X-Men Empyre if I recall correctly.

And the amount of X-art (and the quality of) Peter Nguyen has produced over the years is amazing, I'm shocked the X-editors have never asked him to contribute to a book.

[ChronoRogue]

omg yes Nguyen should be on a regular title. Though considering how fast-paced some titles come out, maybe he doesn't want the pressure?

But I would totally welcome him designing some costumes. He really should showed some ingenuity with the costume couple switch theme.

[jwatson]

loving the designs. heres one i did today. synch, polaris, rogue

I look forward to contributing to this later! I had done a Polaris re-design a couple years back. I think Jean might be the one that gives me the most issues however.

I really like Werneck's take on all the X-Men. Clean silhouettes, modern take on classic costumes. Definitely what I expect from the MCU.

Oh my gosh....This is amazing. you guys rocked. the concept and execution are flawless! Would love to see Rogue in this. She always looks good in a ponytail. I love to draw but I cannot draw digital. Wish I knew how to do it to adapt my Betsy and Kwannon concepts to a comic book style like yours.

[Master of Sound]

I made some designs for this new era.

Betsy and Kwannon on the same team:

Really loving this! Makes Betsy a but more like her old day, reminding me of Revanche look and Kwannon looks like a ninja more than ever before and how it should be. I would be happy if they would both get these costumes.

Thank you. I really think their differences should be accentuated and praised. Kwannon is the Ninja assassin and Betsy the warrior princess. For Betsy I tried to put it elements of the Outback armor, the pink outfit and the Disassembled one.
