Project Rooftop

Project Rooftop is a really fun site frequented by an assortment of artists (professional and amateur) who are all head-and-shoulders better at the craft than I am.  The site is dedicated to remixing/redesigning classic superhero costumes - trying to get something new and fun for an established hero or villain without losing the essential qualities that made the character's original costume unique and recognizable.

Each entry is judged by the site's panel of judges, who discuss their own particular philosophies about what makes a good costume in doing so.  I don't always agree, but it's usually very insightful.

All in all, it's a site I keep going back to in order to, both for learning and inspiration.

That's a redesign of Luke Cage by Ray-Anthony Height.  Luke Cage hasn't really had an actual costume since the eighties (which was this).  Check out the PR page itself for many, many more.
