Banshee Redesign

I loved X-Men first class, and I thought Banshee was great in it. I'd love to see them bring him back into the X-Books again. Dec, as much as I loved your design, I think it kind of looks like the love child of Micheal Flatley and the Dad from American Chopper.
For me I wanted to work in a practical solution for those wings / parachutes, whatever you would call them aswell as updating him to the "Astonishing X-men" Mentality that the X-Men are superheroes, (so, no, hes not wearing a Boston Celtics Jacket over it anymore.)

This is ace, Will! Lovely work. I like the ridging where his 'wings' attach to his gauntlets. Nice texture difference.

And I approve of his hairstyle also.

Cheers Nick. If you approve of the hairstyke then it aint gonna get any better than that.

Yeah, I really quite like it. Great the way you and Dec went so radically different with ye're approaches. This is much more in keeping with the contemporary x-men 'uniform' I guess, but none the weaker for it.

But the love child of Micheal Flatley and the Dad from American Chopper was exactly what I was going for!!!!

Nice stuff man, I like the back bit the most. The practicality of the cape wasn't of interest to me but I really like how you came up with a solution.

That's excellent. Really like the back and collar especially. Kind of an Elvis jumpsuit vibe to that bit.

Will Sliney said...

Thanks guys. Yeah it loomed even more elvis at one stage from the back. I had to make the collar smaller
