Description You can thank my friend Mad-Man-with-a-Pen for tonights/early morning practice picture.    

On his most recent status update: mad-man-with-a-pen.deviantart.… asked about everyone's favorite superheroine costume. I mentioned that mine was the long sleeved leotard with fishnets, knee high boots, wrist mounted weapons and equipment, and utility belt. Which coincidentally is a combination of Wildfire's universe hopping look, and Nightingale's canon look. He then asked how did come up with the girls looks as they are quite the variety, and basically it's based on the last thing I look at when I design a character. For this picture, I used the long sleeve leotard with the fishnets, and knee high boots as my base. Slowly, the wrist mounted equipment went to the wayside as did the utility belt. Wanted to try a hood with the costumed look, but the nods started to kick in at that moment. Color-wise, I wanted to stay away from my safety net colors and using mostly magenta/pink, magenta-red, and magenta-violet. On the right is the girl's non costumed look, based on an outfit I think I saved on my Pintrest board but didn't copy the link. First time ever using the gladiator sandals and I think she looks good wearing them.

Guess I have another girl to add to my growing stable of female characters, right now I see her being antagonist in general with the "Wonder Woman or Supergirl standard" of powers...flight/super strength/enhanced durability, etc. Unless there are some other ideas to consider.

Update 6-4: Infinite thanks to my friend Mad-Man-with-a-Pen with his suggestions, I now have a name for her. When in costume, her name is Starburst and when not in costume, her name is Stephanie Hampton. Her powers include flight where her top speed is at the speed of sound, super strength where she lift up to 20 tons (I need to scale up the girls who have super strength as I went past my initial 10 ton limit), enhanced physical abilities, energy absorption and projection, and she's able to use a portion of her powers to change her regular clothes to her costume and vice versa, as well as going from a brunette with green eyes to a redhead with magenta eyes. Added a belt to Starburst's costume, as well as the aforementioned eyes and hair color change, and gave Starburst's boots a more personalized look. Nothing was changed on Stephanie.

Loving the updates to Stephanie, and it'll be interesting to her up against your heroines.

Thank you . It'll definitely be fun having her going up against Azureia and Amethyst

I like the small changes you made to Starburst (good name BTW). The belt and details to the boots make her stand out. Digging her colors still, I'm always a fan of villains who don't do black/gray, to help change things up.

Thank you . Felt like she was missing something, and ended up looking at picture of Power Girl and the belt seemed to work out.

I'm digging the gladiator sandals (and the ripped up denim shorts ).

This is a great look, the color scheme really pops. Would this concept be an antagonist for Amethyst?

One or both of my A girls, and possibly beat up Astra

I love the design AV! Her face mask is great, and love how you layered her hair, plus the design of her suit. Love the color choice as well. Normally badgirls wear blacks, grays, blues so having her bright and colored is a great change of place. With SG or WW like powers, can see her struggling and fighting with Kara or Cassie. Her secret ID is a winner too. Ditto your thoughts on the sandals and love her twin necklaces. Hope you do some more with this villainess

Thanks dude! The mask was out of necessity as I had my heart set on doing the domino mask and hood combo, but couldn't get it to look right. I agree the color choice will make people think she's a heroine, will definitely give her the element of surprise. Still unsure on what I want to with her powers wise beyond flight and super strength, but I'm sure I'll think of something. The secret ID was fun one to work on, I remember the shirt I was using as a reference was being a bit more revealing...mostly because it was from the girl's side and the straps where a little thinner.  Will definitely do more with the pretty redhead. Yes, she's supposed to be a redhead lol. Was trying to do this goo.gl/images/VKnTSg with her hair, but figured forget it. Will probably end giving her some type of ability that she can change her hair, eyes, and whatever clothes she's wearing by thinking about it.

Hmm, maybe she's got bio-shifting abilities? Maybe like Miss Martian?

Hmmm....flight, strength, and maybe limited shape shifting?

First two a must I'd say. Also, how about she has the ability to fire off some energy blasts, same color as her costume? I get a little bit of a Star Sapphire vibe from her, so could be where I'm getting that from. Maybe instead of shape shifting, when she powers up her hair/eye color change? The energy or source of her powers 'energizes' her and changes those things along with maybe generating her costume?
