Static's Alternate Costumes Are Breathtaking in New Art

screenrant.com:

Artist Nikolas Draper-Ivey has released art depicting alternate costumes for Milestone’s electrifying teenage superhero, Static. Although Draper-Ivey designed two different suits for Virgil Hawkins as seen throughout Static: Season One, these three new looks deserve to be incorporated into future stories.

In Static: Season One, Virgil first wore a prototype suit which he received, created by Curtis Metcalf AKA Hardware. His updated appearance could have easily served as his permeate uniform, but he eventually received another suit, designed by his sister Sharon. In the finale ofSeason One, Static dons a new costume which homages both his animated series look from Static Shock, with the jacket and emblem, as well as his ‘90s look, with his cap. Both costumes designed by Milestone artist Draper-Ivey reinvent Static, while remaining true to the source material.

However, the three new suits for Static which Draper-Ivey has revealed on social media compete for the superhero’s coolest costume. While one suit directly homages the design from the first two seasons of Static Shock as a more grounded iteration, the two others appear to be variations on the rebooted title. The design featured to the right of the piece most closely resembles the finale’s suit, but features a larger emblem on his chest, and without the duckbill hoodie over his hair. The design featured to the left of the piece feels particularly evocative of the artist’s anime and manga influences, as he has brought attention to before with a manga version of Static.

Alternate costumes that I want to draw for Static. I’m still not sold on the canonical duck bill hoodie look, but I’m not allowed to change
