All-New Wolverine Continues Into ResurrXion With New Costume, Artist

All-New Wolverine Continues Into ResurrXion With New Costume, Artist

“It all comes down to the amount of times Laura is hurt, or taken out of action. Just because she has a healing factor, doesn’t mean she enjoys pain, or bullets ripping through her internal organs. She has had her issues with pain before, and she’s moving through this. This suit is designed to be bulletproof and generally more protective.”

Another step in X-23′s costume evolution is definitely appreciated, as the creators openly address that even such awesome power as healing factor is not a good excuse for an action hero to run around with deep cleavage and/or bared belly.

Also good to see Laura get some individual touches in her Wolverine-like costume. Personally, I was never sold on replicating Logan’s yellow-blue color scheme verbatim for her.

It’s bad enough when a sci-fi setting has all the ladies wearing painted-on tights so snug that you can see all the way up their respective buttcracks, but then they go and do it with the armour, too.

Like, it’s armour.

It’s a solid chunk of heavy, rigid material.

How does that work?

How do you walk with a pair of inflexible domes tightly cupping your glutes?

Hell, how do you even stand when you’ve got a quarter-inch durasteel plate wedged so far up your ass you’re tasting metal?

Makes no sense.

While we’re certain skin-tight metal butt armor happens a lot in media (battle thong is by far more popular), the best, most literal examples of it from our blog were those chafiest short shorts ever:

And this full body atrocity (whole thing is arguably NSFW, open link at own risk):

We can also infer from some frontal images when a design probably includes a butt vacuum-sealed in metal, just like it has boobplate/metal boobsocks:

That said, butts or no butts, armor so snug it looks like shiny bodypaint/metal spandex is a blight on costume design that should be stopped.

I did an armor edit of Charlotte from Fire emblem! Finished product first.

It’s not perfect, but I really like it. This is my first time finishing a large project like this (started three days ago, whew)! I want to revise other characters from Conquest, too, because I personally think that their personalities could be better reflected if their designs were revisited.

@bikiniarmorbattledamage This is an old subject, but I thought you might appreciate my take on Charlotte’s design from FE.

That’s a second attempt at fixing Charlotte’s nonsensical costume on our blog and it’s a damn solid one.

Amazing attention to detail. I especially like the belt rings which hold up her cincher. They both reference rings on her belt and gorget, while their placement is subtly implying on the character’s… naughty nature.

Sometimes I wonder if Bluewater Comics (creators of 10th Muse) is actively trying to make their designs terrible or if they just have a complete lack of awareness on… everything.

Then I remember that they changed their name to Stormfront Comics (yes, they officially signed off on that before realizing it connected them to a certain group and changing it to “Storm Entertainment”… kind of) and think that they’re experts on “the ever-elusive female comic book demographic”.
