Description
Just about everyone I know is continuous in their extollment of the virtues of displaying artwork on a deviant art account. Well I will give into peer pressure this once and start posting a few pieces.A couple of years ago I started a series of chibi-styled super-heroine drawings, with the eventual ambition of publishing a sketchbook with said illustrations.
Here is the first chibi-super heroine Wonder Woman. I hope folks like it. Perhaps enough postve comments will move me to get off my considerable duff and finish this series.

This is gonna sound nuts, but I immediately thought "ooh that looks like an F-104 Starfighter she's on"... and I Googled it... and ... why do I focus on useless crap like that?
Ehrm, anyway, super cute drawing, love the anime goo-goo eyes hah!

You focus on it because your an observant viewer. I was totally thinking of the Starfighter when I drew this! I always thought the invisible jet from the old Superfriends cartoon resembled it.

Ah yes!
For me it was always the "rockets" on the wings... so many beautiful aircraft from the 50s/60s.
Oh as well, really lovely ink work.

I don't know if t was intentional or not, but there was a real flair and beauty to aircraft like the B-58 Hustler, or the SR-71. They look like they were forced into existence by the sheer power of our collective imaginations.
I think some of the modern designs are increasing soulless, like the F-22 Raptor. It may be radar invisible and cook a 20 lb turkey in under 20 minutes, but it still looks like a paper airplane to me.

I hear ya, my favourite aircraft design is the B-52b.
I mean, it's a work of art, like something Zeus would throw to the skies.
Modern stuff just doesn't have the same design flair. It seems everything is designed by computer to either look like a folded cardboard box or a jelly bean...

I think that stealth works because the radar doesn't want to see it!

Ok, reading the other comments I see this was intentional and I am not the only one.

Hmmm, The Invisible Woman and the Fantasticar definitely sounds doable.
Thanks for the idea.

Ha, nice. In fact I like all of them so far.
Unfortunately I never read or saw any Wonder Woman so I'm gonna have to ask this: why the Starfighter? Please forgive my ignorance

Wonder Woman used to have an invisible jet plane, that she would use to get to the scene of whatever villain or disaster she had to fight. It was trasparent, radar invisible, and looked a little like an F-105 (At least it did in the 1970's Superfriends animated series. [link] ) So I decided to use an actual F-105 as my model for this drawing.
They wrote the invisble jet out of the comic book in 1985. Wonder Woman's publisher, DC Comics, reasoned that if Wonder Woman was supposed to be the female equivalent of Superman, then she should be able to fly like him too. [link]
Since that time, Wonder Woman had flown under her own power, just like the man of steel, so it's little surprise that fans today aren't aware that she used to need a ride to get around.
I suppose I didn'treally need to draw the jet in my picture since I have her flying under her own power next to it, rendering it redundant; but I wanted some gadget to fit in with my Girls and Gadgets theme, and Wonder Woman does have some history with the jet.

Hey, girls and gadgets: always good
Ah, that explains it then. I must admit I never got much further than Batman and The Phantom when it came to superheroes.

It's an American thing I guess.
Here in the States, every kid is innundated by a wide variety of super-hero fare. (Mostly to sell toys and underwear, I guess.) Plus, there used to be a live action television show about Wonder Woman where the actress playing her looked like this. [link]
So trust me when I tell you, every man in the States knows who Wonder Woman is.

Looking back at this post, it seems a tad jingoist, which was not my intent.
I was trying to make a joke about how attractive the actress who played Wonder Woman was, and how the character's mainly imprinted on us by our lust for Linda Carter.
Hope I didn't offend.
