Description

When thinking about Storm as a character i think she would look great as any kinda of goddess  or traditional garb of any culture. For example i think she would look great in a Sari or even an aoi dai from Vietnam

As for Forge the approach I took  was that he took  dimension hopper machine and went to the metal gear solid universe came back with a snake costume but in white redesign

( W/ Little floating blow dryers to make his cape always dramatic in EVERY fight)

The other way i approached these design is thought maybe they weren’t  soul mates , they were two people who greatly loved each other. They had allot in common , two amazing capable leaders and very spiritual people but with a sometimes very rocky relationship.  Sometimes people who aren’t in your life anymore are still apart of who you are at a core and that’s how I approached these two. it reminds me of this great panel that the amazing great Whilce Portacio drew

   I wanted some harmony between the two costumes and compliment each other fighting sentinels in the new Mexican desert at sunset.

Since i am ending phase ONE of mutant costume switcharo i added a little bonus , with a forge civilian outfit and a couple of other notable  men/suitors in her life and a joke of a cross dress. lol

I have PLENTY of potential mutants  for phase 2 but i will be away at shows for a bit.  I been overwhelmed by all the response and comments .

they look like they had a mission in a desert.  nice looks.
storm still looks like storm (it looks like her own costume), and  forge looks like cable mixed with fantomex and storm

Other than the heels, Storm should definitely wear this as her main battle costume. Just sayin'.

The belts and shoulder pads do give Forge a 90's flair.

I've always been intrigued by your coloring style. Very watercolor-ish. Do you do this in Photoshop? Multiple layers?

I love that you gave storm an afro. Always wanted to see that and/or do it myself.

Forge is just hardcore! He looks like some kind of warrior-prince from the future *__________* and I like "nature" vibe Storm's costume is giving off! I think it's my second favourite redesign. Because no one can beat Remy and Rogue!

I love the Forge design. Aside from the cape, it really fits the character and I can still see the major Storm influence. Nice work!

Damn your on a roll! Can't wait to see more! 

I was thinking about switching Colossus and Magik costume references 'cause their related, but I'm guessing you've already got something in mind.
