TRDL 2012 Series, No. 58 - Black Widow Avengers Film Version [TRDL Redesign]
This was part of a team redesign I've been working on for the Marvel film version of the Avengers, where I'm doing a redesign of each costume (the rules being that they should be recognizable to the fanbase, not outright blank slate redesigns) set in the Marvel film universe. What that means is that my redesigns are as if I were asked to do concept art at the onset of the Avengers film production, based on the existing movie canon at that point. Black Widow was one of my favorite film-realizations of the comic character in Marvel's line-up, at least as she appeared in IM2. But the soccer mom haircut softened my affection a bit in Avengers. I actually always liked Widow with long hair in the comics, but could never really understand free-flowing hair for an espionage agent/ assassin. Granted, I wouldn't want anything grabable in melee combat, including a long ponytail, but nonetheless, I tend to draw the comic version with straightened, long hair. So for this redesign, I retained the largely monochrome, dark blue/cobalt/black costume look, with some different detailing. As in the Avengers film she is dealing with powerful alien threats, I gave her some body armor. Still a handgun though, sigh.
The project overall has been fun, because I sketched the group shot all at once and have been fleshing the characters out individually ever since.
