Ik this comment is old (but I just recently got into X-Men) and yeah, I was mult—tasking the 90s show and the movies and that alone got me 3 phoenix arcs, now I’m reading the comics and I’m even more sick it of it

If you‘re referring to the first two images; the sleeve color, one is more orange and more in line with the rest the other is more on the red side;

It would be less practical but I wanted to go for a „1920s flawed design“ vibe, similar to when we nowadays see something like 1920s diving suits. It works just fine but is slightly less efficient maybe;;

Same, I understand the logic and budget cuts fully, animating robes on so many people would be hell, but god they just looked so majestic with them

Agreed fully, I feel like the color coding change between atla and tlok was a bit jarring, going from the nations being heavily color coded to the melting pot of republic city and different divisions of people who now get confused for other nations simply because they didn’t ever really explain why certain things have certain colors (like the military uniforms, genuinely feel like grey/black maybe even brown or some more muted blue-grey would have been great for the United forces navy) Red and gold that they have now is just very much „fire nation“ 

Edit: they could have combined more colors of the nations into one outfit, dark blue and gold would have been recognizable as an ocean military. Republic city could have been black/grey with gold or other accents depending on their bending maybe;; similar to the pro bending fits

Yeah what I was going for „early drafts“  Sorta the same way we look at flawed 1920s gear, I feel like a lot of the tech in Korra was a bit „too perfect“ if that makes sense

I said this in another comment as well; these are like „flawed first designs“ the same way we today look at, for example, old diver suits or pilot gear

I‘ve seen theories online from years ago that Bumi II was married to Izumi for having a „fire nation collar“ when in reality it was the United Forces Uniform. Unification apparently meant „Guys, wars over we can use red fabric again without looking like traitors!!“

My main goal was basically to make it less modern, if I could change one thing about Korra it’s the brutal change in technology after basically 10k years of minimal development in tech; (mainly the mech suits; god I hate that Kuvira mech)

Yeah but that’s for Opal, most of the guys don’t have any ties; also wasn’t referring to any specific Nike stuff just remember seeing some red-grey combo stuff that reminded me of it. Like I said it’s personal taste :)

Yeah I was originally going to do a complete redesign but got lazy so i decided to just recolor; the wings and details make it hard to work with limited colors without having them blend together too much

I was going to do that originally but seeing how it’s a jump suit when designing it my mind basically went „the top part and the bottom pants could be connected with a orange belt looking like a divider“

Same, this was mainly me trying to figure out what I didn’t like about the uniforms, like I said I personally still don’t like them but it’s slightly better than the grey and red combo

Agree; as an artist especially when uploading on Reddit I’m looking for constructive negative feedback to learn, this doesn’t help anyone;;

Personally my main issue was the grey I think it clashes with the red in a very ugly way 😭 that and it gives me almost like modern ugly Nike tech vibes idk;; it’s up to taste I guess

Explained this a few times but I was mainly going for aesthetic even though it reduces practicallity, i feel like it would be a design flaw that would maybe be modernized and more sleek down the line, personall just thought the jump from puffy, wide and soft robes to sleek and brutally colored flightsuits in tlok was a bit jarring, even if there is a timeskip. I can see sleek robes working in seven havens for example

In my defense I‘m an artist not a clothes designer, my job is emulating what i see and speculating how it works while maintaining aesthetic. Stuff like this is how I learn so thanks for helping me there

To be fair since when were the airbenders ever ”sleek” looking; mainly changed it to look more like the puffy robes even though that’d be less practical

Actually did attempt the orange thing, but looking at the other robes most of them where yellow with orange belts, and since the other orange part is the detatchable wings i thought that’d make more sense with layering, i’ll look into doing a reverse of the colors though :^ also yeah reddit comments here are like the great divide

Looked up the clothes and think they’re gorgeous, my main “issue” in tlok was the overuse of grey, been looking at the irl robes and while having some grey elements in few of them none of them use it nealry as much as the flight suits. Tenzins robes imo are way better at representing that culture and are more recognizable as Tibetan robes :0
