Description
DU Character Reimagining

My next redesign is for Deep-world 's character Spark Maiden.


Now, I'm well aware the "captured and tied up heroine" fetish out there. And I know the Spark Maiden is a character modeled after the genre. That's cool, nothing wrong with that. But as long as Spark Maiden is going to be facing against serious villain threats, I find myself wondering what she would look like in something a bit more substantial than an orange bikini.

So for my reimagining, I'm envisioning something in the style of a Super Sentai costume. That way it's practical while still being flashy and impressive. Additionally, the costume comes with a helmet to protect that pretty face of hers.

Wow! If I had wanted to make a sentai costume for the Spark Maiden, I couldn't have done it better.

You definetely got the colors right here!

Such a nice surprise, thanks a lot!

I think the Sentai approach is a nice way to treat the character when going for the more clothed variation. Β It still keeps to a lot of the feels that the character's stories engender (as the peril types of material also suit Sentai well.)

That's not a bad way of putting it.
I struggle sometimes trying to verbalize my design choices.

Lack of skin doesn't mean lack of sexiness. She still looks great here. Nice job!

Totally.

In retrospect, if I really wanted to go the full "Super Sentai" monty, I should've made the helmet cover her entire head.
None of the Power Rangers, after all, show any skin.

Yeah, all she'd need would be a giant dragon robot or something

Ha! I'm reimagining her, too! Looks like Deep-world is gonna get it this month
Nice idea with the Sentai costume ... also completely different from what I have planned!
So glad we're not knocking each other down on this

I actually know both Sparky and her creator for a while now.
Doing something DU-wise was long overdue
