Sketchbook: Miss Martian Redesign

Well, March is all up on us!
Let's begin a full month of green with a Redesign of one of my favorite green characters, Miss Martian!

Why is it that green-skinned characters are usually redheads?

You guessed it, I gave myself a few rules.

• Keep the t-shirt and the crossed red sash.
• That's it.
• So it's really more like one rule.
• Oops.

So, as per usual, let's see what I came up with!

This one, as you can see, is not as drastic as some of my other ones.

Basically, I just blended my favorite aspects of her comic costume, her two costumes from Young Justice, and I added in some elements from the Martian Manhunter's New 52 costume. I also gave her some much needed modesty and covered up her legs. I hate it when underage characters (like Miss Martian, among other Teen Titans) are designed to look like jail bait.

Actually, a year on Mars is 687 days. Is she an Earth teen or a Mars teen?

But when characters have technicolor skin, there's always the urge to show off that odd-colored skin because it looks so cool. For instance, Martian Manhunter, Abe Sapien, etc. So I decided to show her stomach, which pulls double duty in showing Miss Martian's lack of a belly button. I don't know if that's how it is in the comics, but I thought it made it look more alien. Also, I made her eyes red to match Martian Manhunter. ...yep.

So anyway, there's my Redesign.
