Projecting

When I was younger I was a big Legion of Super Heroes fan, because of the new costumes and art from then-new artist Dave Cockrum. One of my faves was Princess Projectra, because her costume was so intricate in a way that was both fantastic as well as referential to actual clothing, at least tehn way Dave drew it. But the 70s flair he brought is outdated, so it's been at the back of my mind for several years to try and redesign her outfit while still referencing her original garb. Haven't found a good solution yet. These are some of the working sketches, which I'm doodling on my no-longer-needed food diary!
