Inspired by the comic book, Gotham by Gaslight by Mike
Mignola and Brian Augustyn. Set in the 1880's, Batman attempts to stop
Jack the Ripper, who has come to Gotham.
I attempted to re-design the famous members of the
Justice League in the Victorian Era. I went for a darker look and
tried to give them the right period feel, but also attempted to keep the feel of the
original character.

Superman
He is designed
to have a bit of a military look. I used a muted color palette.
I wanted the chest flap to be like the classic diamond logo. I finished
it off with the hand stitched looking logo in a
Victorian style font, a trademark of this line.

Batman
Although the line was designed to go with the original
DC Direct Batman figure, I knew fairly early on that I was going to at
least modify the existing Batman (head, symbol, belt, paint) to have a
more cohesive look with the rest of the line.

Wonder Woman The base figure of the Amazonia Wonder Woman by DC Direct was too perfect not use. But, I
reworked the blouse, added the dress, belt, lasso, and sculpted a new
eagle logo to match the hand stitched look of the other logos.

The
Flash
I went for the pilot look, thinking that the helmet,
goggles, and leather jacket would give him protection from the elements
at high speeds. I also went for a tough looking pair of military
boots for durability. I his red outfit I used a special burnishing technique to get the look of
dirty leather.

The
Green Lantern
What stood out to me in GL's
original costume were the colors. I applied the color scheme to a
Victorian era gentlemen's suit. I added to the Victorian era
lantern. I used the green goggles to look like the mask and
protect his eyes from the bright light of the lantern.

Martian Manhunter This was a challenge.
His classic look is a mostly naked green Martian running around in a
blue Speedo, pirate boots, and a bandolier. The Manhunter name,
made me think of Sherlock Holmes, and I liked the idea of a Martian in a
Victorian suit. I used the classic colors to keep the right feel.

Aquaman
I really liked the idea of Aquaman as a deep sea diver, but
rather then a helmet full of air, I gave him a helmet full of water.
I tried to keep the original color scheme.

Hawkgirl
The original idea I had
for her was
the mechanical wings. The figure was going to be Hawkman, but I
changed it to Hawkgirl in order to have another girl in the line up for
balance.
