Description My entry for the Project: Rooftop contest "Wolverine: Look Sharp"

I built the new costume based on Logan's history in feudal japan. I figured if I cross build a samurai/motorcycle helmet then I could sneak in the classic mask shape in a justifiable way. I added some light scale plating to round out the samurai feel without giving him any heavy armor since he wouldn't really need it. Then I threw on a more modern, jacket with an almost japanese student jacket cut and some loose kendo=ish pants all the while keeping the "three line slash" theme which carried onto the jackets back. There is a pretty classic samurai sigil of a diamond cut into quarters. By extending those cuts it creates a simple three claw X symbol.

This is a super awesome design. I always love it when people redesign Wolverine with that Samurai look.

Pfft. I don't think you went far enough. I would have loved to see this outfit in a splash page against some horrible oversized Hulk.

Love it. I think it's too radical though for it to ever be really used or considered. I really can see it working for a period in canon. Really look forward to seeing future work of yours. You're on the watchlist now.

What he need armor for? Knife and bullets don't hurt him. His healing factor take care of it.

Nice take on the character. I think every entry I've seen so far has been better than mine! Ah well.

This might just get my vote (if my vote counted).

ShadedAreasArt In reply to Jam-Wah [2009-05-16 21:21:27 +0000 UTC]

lol. I definitely dig your approach more than a lot of others. Your design doesn't include one thing that I thought of in my prelim sketches. Which is quite impressive. Good luck and thanks.
