There’s been a lot of Avengers talk lately and with Superhero fever going around, Navimie thought she’d have a go at a superhero costume. In fact, she made two – Captain America and Ironman.
So with a superhero meme going around, I couldn’t resist having a go.
I actually had several ideas in mind. In the end, I decided to go with Hawkgirl as we have a few things in common already. Green eyes, check! Red fiery hair, check! (well not usually) and wings, check!
When I googled Hawkgirl, I found so many variations, I ended up taking a bit from each one, and translating it into what I could find in MogIt. I also wanted to stay true to my class and use only cloth pieces. If I opened it up to multiple armour classes I probably could have found more suitable items but since Cymre is my mog star, I limited myself to what she could wear.
I think it’s a decent attempt for a couple of hours of work. I did have another pair of boots and a belt in mind but it didn’t quite work out. Here are some alternatives.
Head: Everstill Cowl
Chest: Willow Vest
Waist: Ruthless Gladiator’s Cord of Accuracy
Bracers: Glowing Magical Bracelets
Legs: Mercurial Legwraps
Feet: Woven Boots
Weapon: Big Black Mace

Here’s an updated version using a combination of armour types.
Since this post, I’ve featured a number of other DC and Marvel Supers. Feel free to check them out and let me know if you have a favourite.
I like it. The only thing I might have done differently is the helm.
The Ironbark Faceguard and Heroes Redemption Headpiece (Pally specific) strike me as more imposing which I always felt Hawkman and Hawkgirl were. The Spiked Titansteel Helm is also not too bad, though I know more colors would be ideal.
Very well done! I love the chestpiece most, as it gave her the bicep bands as well (and I recognize WoW only gives us so much to work with color wise).
Riiiiight. I’m just going to back in the corner now.
Cymre makes a wonderful Hawkgirl, been dying to see who you’d be!
Wooo! That is one sexy outfit and well mogged! Have plonked image on my superhero post :)
Nailed it, Cymre! That is amazing! Moreover, your blog looks absolutely spectacular! /standing ovation!
@JD – it’s true there were more suitable helms but I was determined to get a fully cloth version out, otherwise it would have been sans wings =/
@Tome – Thx :) Glad you were looking forward to it as much as I was to posting it. I might actually start a ‘Superhero’ page :P
