Description 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!

Nic.-

I am a traditional inker also. It is good to see that the art is still alive for now. The new talent today can not get away from the computers for long enough to try any of the old school ways. Thanks. Try to teach a new talent in the old ways and keep this art alive.

Thank you, man! I love traditional inking; actually, I love doing everything traditionally, that's why I only use my computer to scan in the finished pieces. Working with real tools I think connects you better with the art and makes every piece a unique part of the artist that I think digital lacks a bit.

I'll do my best to keep the medium alive at least in my small corner of the web.

Thank you for the kind words and encouragement!

She was about the sole reason I went to see BvS, but alas, even glorious Diana couldn't save me from the boredom it induced.
Your ART however is far more enjoyable to look at

Oh... not even Diana could save that film in my eyes, Tina

I don't have anything against Gal Gadot, I think she did a fine job with what she was given. But she's not the WW I imagined, to be honest. And the rest of the cast didn't help... Eisenberg had me wanting to throw something at the screen! Where is Bryan Cranston when you need him?
Thank you for the compliments as usual, my fair lady.

Makes me wish I could find a way to watch Batman V Superman without having to go to the movies...

You can always wait for the DVD, Josh I know I would after the boredom that struck me in the theater, haha.

Me pasó algo divertido. En uno de los tantos grupos dedicados a WW en los que participo en Facebook, compartieron esta imagen. No tenía créditos, pero dije "yo este estilo lo conozco". Así que vine a chequear en tu perfil de Devian y efectivamente, era tuyo.
Gran obra, señor marplatense, su talento no deja de afilarse.

Jaja no te la creas tanto, hacía siglos que no entraba en tu perfil. Pero sí sigo interesada en la ilustración para mi ex libris, de la que hablamos hace mucho. Así que si en algún momento estás abierto a comissions, escribime. Saludos!

Mmmm... yo aprecio tu entusiasmo por mis dibujos, Sandra, pero digamos la verdad. Me estás 'stalkeando'

Fuera de joda, tu opinión es muy importante para mi en lo que respecta a WW; sos la eminencia en todo lo que tenga que ver con lo amazónico, asi que misión cumplida. 

¡Un abrazo a todos por allá en la Ciudad de la Furia!

I know you liked the film, Brian, so I won't piss on it with my fanboy-raged opinion

Glad you liked this as usual and, as said elsewhere, I'll soon have some artwork headed your way good sir.
