a little laura kinney redesign warm up
This is a million times better than what we’re getting in the new X-23 book.
This should be her costume in the new book. I’m so mad.

Simple, functional, and informs the audience of her character arc. Why is this so difficult for professionals to do? Great redesign with crisp, interesting shapes that set her apart from Wolverine. I feel like she might go for a braid to keep her hair out of her face during fights, especially as that could be used as a dynamic object to frame her face and shoulders during fight scenes in the comic.
I agree with the above opinions; this would have been an amazing costume for Laura in the new book. What a shame.

Edit: We’ve been informed that the redesign is by Marvel artist Kris Anka, and I take full responsibility for missing that. I went through much of his blog, but didn’t look closely enough, it seems. My “professionals” gripe above has more to do with the fact that these high-profile artists, like Mike Choi, keep getting character design work, and they churn out the same old tired crap, and the people in charge are either fine with it, or explicitly want it that way. We can do better than that. -Icy
