New Guardians Of The Galaxy Concept Art Shows Off Star-Lord’s Space Pirate Style

In Guardians of the Galaxy, moviegoers around the world were introduced to a ragtag group of intergalactic superheroes – and each of them stole hearts with their entrance. Of course, Star-Lord wooed crowds with his adorable pre-teen debut, but the fearless leader really got fans going with his unabashed dancing skills. Donning a leather jacket and headphones, Star-Lord boogied his way into the Marvel Cinematic Universe. But, in another world, the hero may have looked very different.

Over on Twitter, one of Marvel’s key artists has made a splash after sharing several pieces of concept art regarding Star-Lord. Andy Park has uploaded a couple photos of the hero prior, but the artist shared a new look at Star-Lord’s earliest stages. Surprisingly, the design has Star-Lord looking less groovy and loaded up with more gunmetal.

“Here’s another Starlord design I painted for the first #GuardiansoftheGalaxy This time w/helmet closed like in the comic. I had fun w/these,” Park captioned the photo.

In the artwork, fans can see Star-Lord dons a more comic-compliant helmet with illuminated eyes. As for his outfit, the get-up looks more armored and features a leather shoulder guard. Strapped with holsters and more, the figure looks much more threatening than Star-Lord wound up being in the film. And, as fans know, the character’s unassuming style only added to Star-Lord and his charm.

You can swipe through the following slides to see all of Park’s recent Star-Lord concept art.
