Description Whoo, this piece was a lot of work but it's finished. And I couldn't feel more happy about having done it because of what it stands for. This is the last day of Women's Month but by no means the end of me showing my appreciation for the many, many women who inspire me.

This piece is my tribute to the strong, amazing ladies of the comic world. Now I know there are many real women I could've done an art piece for but I just felt really strongly about drawing superheroines. Because even though these characters are fictional they've had a real-life impact on me both growing up and now. They helped me see that even if you are a woman you can be strong, and be a hero, and tango with the best of them.

The representation of women in comics is by no means perfect but them just being there meant a lot to me. I'm sure someday though, with more and more women getting into comics both as consumers and creators, we'll see a much better representation, as well as a more equal presence.

There's tons more I'd like to say about these super ladies and how they've inspired me, but I'll just keep this short and sweet. Here's to the future of women in comics, and women as a whole, getting better. Cause we ain't there yet. But I know will be.

Aww yeah! This is awesome beyond words! I love this! Great job on all the iconic heroines of the comics. Each one of them looks badass and great, and the layout with all of them is wonderfully done.

Aww, thank you.
That's Flamebird. She's not very popular. But I liked her character, the few times I've seen her, so much I just had to add her.Β

Oh my, what an outstanding and gorgeous tribute! And what a line-up of amazing superheroines!! You really floored me with the final piece; I remember the teaser lines you posted were only showing Wonder Woman, Supergirl and Stormβ€”so my jaw dropped at seeing this was only a very minor tease in comparison! XD I mean, LOOKIT ALL THE GIRL POWER! It's an incredible and big cast, and I got excited to see Big Barda, Elektra, Huntress and the two Teen Titans ladies (I like how you kept them near each other, the lil' nod since I know you're a huge fan) rounding out at the top. So many awesome, iconic, and heroic characters~!!

Still cannot get over how well you can compose these major illustrations. This is excellent and I can see this being a poster for Women's Month!! Very inspiring, and I appreciate the little dedication in the artist's notes, a nice glimpse into the passion you have for each of these women, and women in the comic biz as a whole.

The shading is superbly rendered. Not a single lady gets lost in the crowd on such a big field of colors, and you've captured their individualΒ expressions and attitudes very strongly. Loved seeing them all battle ready, too! OMG but the coolest thing is how the bottom group shadow pulls back into the poster-box, with the amazing color-burned texture. AH SO NEAT!!Β
