Description
Cover to Wonder Woman #604The series writer JM Straczynski wanted a straight-on Da Vinci Vitruvian Wonder Woman cover. This piece combines traditional pencil & ink with digital painting so it was fun to once again pick up a crow quill after so many years. I couldn't resist falling back to my slick aesthetic even though it isn't even close to Leonardo's style of inking. It's not that I couldn't have aped him to some degree, I just didn't feel like going that far into counterfeit.

You did a really great job with this Da Vinci style cover. I bought it and bought a shirt with this on the front of it.

Not only is this one of the very best images of Wonder Woman that I've ever seen (and I've seen tons of them), but you made the da Vinci take look clever instead of hackneyed, and it happened to put this version of her costume in its best light.

I was surprised by the similarity to the cover of Spider-Man The Other. There you mentioned it was JM Straczynski. He must just like this concept...

Yeah, I was actually unaware of the Spider-man cover 'til after I did this. It's a JMS thing.

Clever touch to use the lasso to make the circle.

This cover is pure genius and, well, I'm one of the few guys that like this new WW restyling more than the original one.

I really do like this costume over her previous one.
Nice job, with the lasso circle idea.
I bet you used pencils of awesomeness and ink pens laden with epictivity to design this.
And yes, "epictivity" is too a word. I wrote it, didn't I?

Amazing. That goes to show that not only man is perfect. (Disregard the "nobody's perfect" saying)

The more I see the new costume the more I hate it I utterly despise DC for for doing this and im being totally serious about this each issue just keeps getting from bad to worse thank you so much J. Michael Straczynski for destroying Wonder Woman

Now this one is just cool! Dont' ask me why, it's a pretty straight forward piece compared to all the action oriented covers we've had so far, but something about this is just really neat to me. I love it!

I still absolutely hate this costume, I hope when this story arc is over she burns it. This isn't the Wonder Woman I know, this looks more like a Smallville character.

Nice piece you have here. With that being said, This new look just don't work for her. Trying to be PC and all sucks. Never was a Wonder Woman fan, though. DC will see in the long run.

You know that if you put her with boots on high heels into the square/circle the schematic is off, right?
Just teasing with you 
Sometimes I wonder about the waist thing. Is it required to be that thin and "oversaturated"?

Wow, I love the asymmetry of her hands and feet, it adds a nice modern spin to this archaic idea. Also the way you have her holding the edge of the circle, turning what cages her into a weapon, that's practically the definition of a superhero. It's so striking!

This is too perfect. Love the Da Vinci Vitruvian already and now it's just 100 times more full of win.

This is great, I've always thought Wonder Woman was a great subject for a Da Vinci Vitruvian 'woman' treatment and finally, here it is, and a very nice piece it is too.
On the other hand, I can't help wishing JMS had waited until she was back in her iconic costume before asking you to do this and using the Da Vinci homage concept up.
Still a lovely piece though, cute use of the lasso. Interesting that she become more 3D and pops off the paper as we come up from her feet, any particular reason for this other than it looks cool ?.

Thanks! The 2D to 3D fade from her feet to her head was my primary idea for the cover although I presented a fully painted 3D version to my editor as an alternative. JMS preferred the fade version.
