Description
Next in my DC Lineup is without a doubt the most infamous female hero of all the comic book universe, Wonder Woman! In the DC Universe Online game you have to fight might fight a minotaur, I did and somewhere after that fight this image crept into my head. It took me a while to sketch out and even longer to color in photoshop but I'm proud of its end result.The temple in back is an actual ruin from Greece, I'm not sure what temple that I added some fire effects to. I also took a few liberties with Wonder Woman's costume such as her top being similar to a corset and only three stars on her bottoms rather than a few dozen. I'm most proud of the minotaur I think when it comes to the coloring work but I'm very open to critiques so please don't sugar coat it. I mostly ask for suggestions because this was the first time I had used layer masks in one of my art works, I'm currently studying them in my class and am still uncertain of how well I'm grasping them. Anyway, I hope everyone enjoys and come back soon for the next one! Later.

Forgive me if my comment sounds out of topic. I just thought I should point that the word "infamous" is negatively & unfairly used for Wonder Woman. Infamous is for femme fatales/bad girls like Red Sonja, Poison Ivy, Catwoman, Witchblade, Vampirella, etc. "Famous" is the correct word that suits her for a historical superheroine who has done a lot of positive impact throughout the decades. She deserves more credit than that and she shouldn't be taken for granted than she is now.
Other than that statement, Good job on the line art. I think you got on the right start. I like the Minotaur, but I've felt the black shading is overly-used in this picture. Also, I think Diana's lasso should be added on to her golden harness which is around her waist. Not too fond of the smokes added to the temple which is another thing. The Greek temple is too dark. The smokes contrast with the ruined temple makes it look like something else. I don't see a temple. Instead of columns, I see tall, smoke pipes from a 19th century mill factory that you see in history books.
If you just balance the composition with more lighting, it'll be better.
I couldn't think of anything else to say for this picture.

First off, thank you for the english lesson. Seriously. I never bothered to look 'infamous' up and always thought it was just a further level for 'famous'....Though I don't know about including Catwoman on that list. She's not really a villian, at least not anymore. More of an anti-hero.
Anyway, thank you again for the lineart compliment, I did think I was overdoing it with the black shading but the pose of the minotaur got the better of me so I hid it unfortunately and that black just kinda took over. I'm ashamed to say though but I didn't even think about her lasso, I really should have put it in. Perhaps in my next drawing of her. As for the Greek temple, that was a last move that I feel worked and failed all at the same time. It works if you don't spend to much time looking but I suppose after about 10 seconds you are right, it doesn't look so much like a temple. Its actually a photograph of some temple in greece that I inserted into the background. I took the lazy road there I suppose. I probably could have drawn the temple but I didn't feel I could have done it justice. How would you adjust the lighting? I've got another drawing I'm working on at the moment but I may just try this again sometime.

The only question is whether or not she wants a fat steak or hamburger...not so sure I'd wanna be the minotaur either way.

My guess is... Texan barbeque.
