Regular readers know I am always looking for inspiration from comics, so I loved this description of the design process of the new Captain Canuck costume (above) from Kalman Andrasofszky. (Captain Canuck�s co-creator Ron Leishman shows up in the comments of the post!)
Here�s the original Captain from back in the 1970s:
I like it because it explores the tension between keeping established conventions and making something distinctive and original. This is particularly a problem when there have already been very similar characters:
As you can see, given the costume uses the Canadian flag, there�s pretty significant constraints on what you can do. Similarities are almost inevitable. And yet Kalman creates a fresh look, ironically, by taking inspiration from other works:
The insignia-style maple leaves bring to mind another lesson for poster design: having to simplify. The shoulder leaves didn�t make it to the final animation. You can see that in this frame grab from episode 1:
I strongly suspect that the shoulder details were too small, fiddly, and hard to draw for hand-drawn animation. The Captain is doing a lot of running and turns, and it would no doubt be difficult to keep the leaves in the correct perspective throughout. You can�t be too wedded to any one element of the design: you have to be willing to let it go if it isn�t working under �real world� conditions.
The tension between wanting to do something new and different, but following accepted conventions, is one I feel all the time in making conference posters. A three column layout again? A sans serif typeface again? There is a sameness about posters than can make you think you�re being boring.
Captain Canuck�s redesign is a nice example of accepting limitations, borrowing from the best existing examples, and yet still coming up with something that feels fresh and not staid.

(I)t�s almost impossible to talk about Captain Canuck without also considering that other flag-draped Canadian icon, Guardian AKA Vindicator.
As you can see, given the costume uses the Canadian flag, there�s pretty significant constraints on what you can do. Similarities are almost inevitable. And yet Kalman creates a fresh look, ironically, by taking inspiration from other works:
Canuck�s helmet... is actually based on Captain Britain�s helm. The design of the chin/jaw guard is a straight-up homage, as is the profile. And not just in the gear, I tried to capture a bit of the rigid, upright posture Alan Davis gives all his heroes. ...
The small maple leafs on his shoulders were inspired by Ultimate Captain America. Bryan Hitch took Cap�s iconic star emblem and repeated it on his shoulders, almost like rank insignia. I think this gives a touch of military styling to Cap and with all the large shapes dominating the suit, I felt a couple of smaller elements added visual variety.
