Long hair one looks cool.

@Urubrodi - I agree. Probably my favorite of those designs.

@Urubrodi - Yeah, it does but I understand her using it tight due to practicality.

@Fogs - I get it, but I personally (within certain limits of course) put looks above things like praticality. Based on that concept art, the long hair suits her more.

The one with the see through red cape thing is super cool. Not for the character, but just the design. Looks Kryptonian. Bad ass. I like it.

@TheVandalore - Reminded me of T'Chaka's appearance as the Black Panther in the flashback scenes. I like the extra ceremonial adornment.

I really like these. Love the Afro-punk motifs. Very cool and edgy, suitable for the kind of darker emotions the character was dealing with in the film. Very nice.

Hair looks great in these. Entree than the f:ck boi, E boi, tik tok haircut she had in the movie.

@JobinJ - Calling her hairstyle all of those names is just ignorant of African hairstyles

Ah yes. Expose your arms. Because f@#$ the incredible protection of vibranium, amiright?

@Origame - it's like the age old question in every RPG game: should I go for stats or for how cool it looks?

@Origame - I was about to write that but those pics she has the helmet on also have the arms covered.
SheepishOne
SheepishOne - 12/7/2022, 10:09 AM
@Origame - In those pics, her face is also exposed, so I imagine it's just a "helmet off" state, and the arms would be covered as well as the face in "fight mode".

In all the art with the helmet on, her arms are covered by the vibranium.
Origame
Origame - 12/7/2022, 10:15 AM
@SheepishOne - ...but she didn't have a different design when helmet was off in the movie. And that's a ridiculous design decision as well.
Origame
Origame - 12/7/2022, 10:18 AM
@SheepishOne - besides, all the ones with helmets had a corresponding version without the helmet. So that is debunked.

My guess is they were trying out designs without a helmet entirely. But ultimately decided against it.
SheepishOne
SheepishOne - 12/7/2022, 10:23 AM
@Origame - No, not debunked. Why wouldn't you assume they had "helmet on" versions for those last few? Just because they didn't include them here? The artist probably made a handful of designs without the helmet, and then based on what was well received, made "helmet on" versions for anything that passed the first round. Based on interviews with Andy Park, that's usually how these design batches go.

I doubt there was at any point an idea for Shuri to never have a helmet.
SheepishOne
SheepishOne - 12/7/2022, 10:25 AM
@Origame - To be fair, I haven't seen the movie yet.
Origame
Origame - 12/7/2022, 10:42 AM
@SheepishOne - why would they approve the helmet versions but not the helmet less one along with it?

Besides, one of them even includes big a$$ tooth ear rings. Those aren't fitting under a helmet.
SheepishOne
SheepishOne - 12/7/2022, 12:18 PM
@Origame - From what Andy Park says, it's mostly to save time. For WandaVision, I know he had to get the outfit approved first, before the headpiece. So he made however many versions of the "final" outfit, and then did work on various versions of the headpiece to go with the two or three approved versions of the outfit. Because ultimately they want concept art both with masks/helmets/etc and without to show the actor's face.

So it could be that those later versions of Shuri art were never approved, so the artist didn't bother doing versions with the helmet.

Admittedly, I'm making assumptions here, but they're based on practices used in previous MCU productions. Could be that your comment about the ear rings is exactly why they didn't move forward with that one.

Pretty much all of these designs are TOP NOTCH and I think they're saving them for the sequel.

I wish they kept the neck rings in the final design.
I think her on-screen suit is way too overdesigned. Up there with Thor's Love and Thunder armor.

Looks like an influencer's idea of a costume - photogenic AF and totally impractical.

Damn, some of these are really nice!

Drip too hard! 😅👍

IronSpider101 - 12/7/2022, 10:26 AM
That very last one, the one in the article thumbnail here, easily the best look. Plus I like that it was a semi-goth kind of edge, which I think would've worked for Shuri's arc in this. Not performance wise, but visually.

I call that last one Emo Shuri.

These look awesome ngl.

outside of the ones with the earings, these are way better

the one they went with was weirdly both over designed and under designed

the bits of gold and silver was unnecessary

the suit needed more texture

last one is the best

Like the one in the banner image the most. Has a nice balance between ornaments and black, and doesn't make her neck look unusually long.
