High Jinks and Siberian have some excellent entries, but I just can't get over Commander's. Those are incredible.

Stunrunner's take amused me. I could see other "major change" themes working; similar is true of the zombies. Now, whether the judges like it is another matter...

Wish I was home to redesign some of my old toons

No grand reimaginings, just a more 'hi-rez' reimaging of the themes and colors they already have. Hopefully people like them Left to right, Sister Psyche, Numina, and Manticore

While Manti's just not the same without his trademark mane, those are some great new looks, Kai =D

well, I have 3 so far.

HochroterDrache,

You can embed the images in your post by editing and then selecting the Insert Image icon. That will show a dialog box (ensure you temporarily allow pop ups) that will allow you to paste a URL to your image location.

((Everyones submissions are so good, I don't even think I can compete hahah...))

((Please read it in a Chinese/European accent))

Statesman
Statesman told me he wanted to keep his original outfit but he also mentioned "Change is good." So I told him "Okay, I think I know what to do, but no cape!!!". *Slammed the door and immediately started to work.*



Positron
As I was sketching Positron's outfit, I knew he would not let me do it by myself... so, I invited myself over his lab and showed him his new outfit. He began melting a super secret substance for his armor. While he was "cybering' in his computer, I dropped a few coloring substance in his melting pot...



Citadel
...And while we are at it, we started Citadel's weird suit... which was a bit disgusting, cause Positron asked me to hold Citadel's original memory core, which was an equivalent to his brain. But when we finished I saw Citadel smiled at me... I think I touched his brain too much.



Sister Psyche
I invited Sister Psyche to my "Chocolat Salon" and showed her my sketches. As I was observing her face, she smirked... I said, "Yes yes darling, I have been sleepless thinking about your original outfit, how it was so not matching your top..." And finally she agreed to try it on.



Back Alley Brawler
When I invited Back Alley Brawler to my studio, I saw his chest scratched and bleeding a little bit and started to drip on my wood floor. I took a warm wet towel and started to wipe the floor. "Sit sit!" I said, "Not there darling! here!". I started sketching his outfit in front of him and Voila! One week later...



Numina
As I was designing Numina's outfit, I had so many questions... I refused to change it. Except her manly boots. If you are going to ask me, I would have changed it to stiletto boots. But, I have to show her something.



Synapse
When I was constructing Synapse's outfit I did not even bother to talk to him. He was in, he was out, I don't even know, where is he!? I upgraded his boots so he would not have cramps or avoid rising temperatures due to friction after a days work.



Manticore
All I can say is, this guy is a simple man. But he needs protection against the elements. He even told me once, he caught his ethereal hair on fire!

I thought of doing a Teen-Phalanx, Phalanx Babies, Phalanx/Disney, Future Phalanx...
I came up with this...




Here it's Marcus Cole, looking like a world adventurer. Manticore (MAN OF MYSTERY!)has a Euro-flare to him.



Again, Numina's the ghost of a Midnighter. Horror is right up her alley. And as for Alley, a funked him up to give him a Blaxploitation 70s film vibe for a street crime story.



And a pulp look at Synapse casting him as a race-car driver in a throwback to the pre-Golden Age.

....im totally stealing errr borrowing several of the looks shown in some of these entries , its always intresting starting with a base and seeing how everyone takes it and runs with it in entirely different and often amazing directions .

We still have plenty of space for entrys so if you get a chance pass the word onto your friends and SG mates .

I really need to know how you guys are adding all the text to your stuff! Wisecracker, teach me O Wise One!

Revised:

Extra Extra , read all about it !

your brought your A game now we are doubling and then some the prize amounts

After a bit of discussion with the host Fury Flechette , I have offered to match his initial amount of prize money and then he tossed in another 400 million which now brings the prize amounts to 2.1 billion Influence .

We will be editing the initial post to reflect this but figured id post here as well .

Prize amounts:
1st - 600M
2nd - 400M
3rd - 300M
4th - 200M
5th - 100M
6th - 100M

Also after looking through some of the entries we are already seeing some outstanding entries for individual takes on a character so with that in mind We will also be handing out some individual costume awards (1 , 50 million award for each of the Freedom Phalanx Members , IE our favorite overall Manticore ,Sister Psyche etc )

Thank you all once again for particapating and helping to spread the word to your friends and SG/VG mates .

Good luck to everyone

No question that the increase in prize amounts is warranted. The entries have been really high quality and it's made our job as judges very difficult.

So to sum: 2.1 billion at stake! Prizes extended to 6th place with individual prizes awarded for the top costume for each Freedom Phalanx member.

You knew it was going to happen...

I proudly present... the PEOPLE'S PHALANX!



Statesman - The Proletarian will strike you down with the mighty Hammer of the People! (I kept the helmet, but added a mustache.)

Sister Psyche - Comrade Psyche of the Soviet Psychic Warfare Division would have words with you. She also does double duty, modeling for propaganda posters.

Positron - Cerenkov will crush you! This was an easy one - I added a Lenin-style goatee, and just ran with my favorite armor design.

Back Alley Brawler - The Soviet Man-Bear fears no capitalists! This inner-city radical with leftist leanings defected to the Soviet Union in the 1960's.

Manticore - The Internal Security Division does not go in for flashy nicknames. (This is my favorite design of this group, and I will probably steal the look for a new character.)

Numina - A simple uniform and severe hairstyle underlie Comrade Kirlian's true power.

Synapse - The Soviet Speedster fully intends to take home a number of gold medals at the next Olympics.

Citadel - The Stalingrad Class War Robot is a fine example of Russian engineering: The vacuum-tube artificial intelligence is second to none, and the diesel engines give it the strength of ten bears!

I was thinking of what else I could do with the Freedom Phalanx, and an idea of having them all "PPD" themed came to me



Positron:
I used the PPD Power Armor as a guide for this costume. It's my favorite of the eight

Back Alley Brawler:
I always loved BAB's look with the leather pants, so I kept those and gave him some slick glasses. Literally

Statesman:
Helmet, stars, cape, ect ect. Nothing to special honestly

Manticore:
This was the hardest of the eight. I think he turned out decently

Sister Psyche:
I based her off the Psi-Units of the PPD

Synapse:
I based him off the Awakened Peacebringers of the PPD (Notice, he's NOT gray!)

Citadel:
I saw PPD Citadel more of a robot then an android personally

Numina :
Even with the PPD feel, I wanted to give her "magical" robes and whatnot
