Happy Saturday, fellow watchers and watcherettes!

This past week was (and continues to be to some dregree) a nightmare of deadlines and so I didn't get a lot of free time to do more of the MIniCharacters I've been doing lately. That said, I did have some minutes to spare to do some work on an inked piece to prepare each day for the pages ahead. And the subject isn't my usual.

I've never been a 'DC-guy', but I do have love for their characters, since at some point in my youth they were the only ones I had access too. However, the direction that the company took and the overall tone of the stories never fully clicked with me, except for some sagas and so on. And in recent years, I've seen them systematically try gimmicks that would have me facepalming over and over.
Recently, they announced yet another one of their retcons, aptly entitled 'Rebirth'. There's a lot of big names and the promise of some interesting series and twists for the classic characters, but nothing that overly caught my eye, except for one: Liam Sharp will be drawing Wonder Woman.

As I told Liam himself elsewhere, I had the chance to read a lot of his thoughts on dA through his Journals and knowing his art for a long time, he became an inspiration beyond just his amazing skills. He's struggled in the industry a lot and has often hit seemingly unsurmountable obstacles; but he kept on coming. And then Mediafire came along as well as many other projects that have rightfully put him in the spotlight. So, seeing him taking on art duties for such a legendary character was great and yet again a proof that if you work hard, you can bend the rules to favour you.

Hence, here's my take on his design of the mighty immortal amazon, which is already looking fine indeed! Liam certainly knows his way with strong ladies as well as medieval times. As for myself, I've always seen Diana as being on the thick side of the spectrum and as such I've tried to depict her.

I hope you enjoy this one as usual and that you have a great weekend!
