Anyway, inspired by the brilliant entries into my last redesign contest, I’ve had a go redesigning the two characters my self, borrowing/ stealing liberally from NHA247 & headlessgeneral’s redesigns (hope you guys don’t mind)
You can see their designs here: http://www.heromachine.com/forum/art-contests-challenges/jr19759s-redesign-contest/
My Redesigns: Gold Hawk & Queen Eagle
I absolutely loved the chest plate NHA247 came up with for his redesign of Gold Hawk, in fact there where only two things that stopped his taking the win. I’m not a huge fan of the dark yellow he used for the armour, it made it more Green Hawk than Gold Hawk, and the beak he gave the character, which looked a bit weird.
Headlessgeneral’s take on Queen Eagle won the contest and if you check out the image, you can see why. He really captured the essence of the character. The only thing that I changed about the design were the cape and mask.
Profiles: Twins, born to a mortal woman and the dying spirit of an ancient god, Leigh and Lance Walker were given mystical powers by their father in the hope that they would grow up to revive him. However, they grew up unaware of their origin and instead used their powers to fight crime. Both have the ability to fly, as well as super-strength and a telepathic bond that makes them an unbeatable team when they work together.
