no, this wasn’t a response to the batgirl design. i had begun this design back in july. this also wasn’t a response to the manara cover. i was given a synopsis of where the series was going from issue 5 onwards, so i designed based off that. if I’m honest, i would say the david aja designs for hawkeye and kate bishop were much more the intended direction in the beginning.you have to remember, these designs aren’t made in a vacuum. it’s rarely ever just me doing designs once on my own and thats what they pick. there was months of back and forth with at least 5 people giving their input. it’s a lot of compromising and trying to figure out what everyone wants and trying to include that the best way possible.as for the similarities with batgirl, i just think that goes to show that babs, cameron and I have similar sensibilities. hell, when i did a batgirl redesign for fun back in april, i gave her a thick jacket haha.
