I must be getting too old for this; I look at wasp-waists like that and don't see "sexy" any more; I just feel how suffocating it would be to try to breathe.

I understand what you mean. But I think she looks confident, smart, & powerful. I created the same stylized version of this male character,
. Realistically, no one looks like either of them.

Fair enough. Though at least his abdomen's unconfined enough he could draw a full breath.
(But I agree.)
(But I also love the Hawkeye Initiative, so there!)

I haven't read or been keeping up with comics for the past 4 or 5 years. What's the Hawkeye Initiative? Do you watch any of the superhero shows on television?

PS Pleased to meet you, Nonie.

Unfortunately, I haven't been able to watch TV for over a decade; I'm in a broadcast hollow and can't afford cable or online equivalent, and I'm old-fashioned enough I don't watch pirated stuff.
The Hawkeye Initiative? Funniest damn comics-art spoofs I've seen in years. You take a classic Strong Female Character pose from the comics and replace the babe with Hawkeye (or other male hero) in the same pose: thehawkeyeinitiative.com/
There's now a DevArt group for it too, but it 's not as sharp or focused because it includes general prettyboy pinups rather than just the one-for-one parodies: hawkeye-initiative.deviantart.…

Oh, I'm sorry to hear that. It doesn't sound like you miss TV at all.
The poses on that site are pretty funny. The guy who did the Emma Frost pose as Hawkeye was pretty funny.

Yeah, I never was much of a TV watcher; I grew up in a house with a small B&W set back when the only networks were ABC, NBC, and CBS (I'm 57), so I never quite got in the habit, and meanwhile my Mom's a librarian and I grew up on books instead.
There've been a FEW exceptions down the years; my now-ex got me hooked on The Equalizer (Edward Woodward), my brother-in-law got me hooked on the X-Files, my best online friend tossed me into the Buffy zoo, and now an old gaming friend has given me a BBC Sherlock addiction, which is mixed luck; it's wonderful, it's available via an affordable (and legal) online service, BUT they only make three (long) episodes a season and their John Watson is played by Martin Freeman, so the series is on hiatus until he's done being Bilbo in the Hobbit movies....
So yeah, I only seem to watch about one TV series per decade; not much of an American, am I? 
I just regret that some people think it's a snobby value judgement instead of a personal preference, the same way I like mushrooms but not green pepper, dark chocolate but not fondant, and smoky beef brisket but not sirloin.
In humor? Parody, tight parody where you keep things so close to the original so that the things you change are even funnier in contrast, whether it's Calvin & Hobbes done with Lex Luthor and the Joker, or The Trouble With Tribbles in the style of Edward Gorey, or the Hawkeye Initiative.
Glad you enjoyed it!

You're very interesting person, NonieR. And I respect how you view life in general. BTW, I'm only 10 years younger than you and as we both know, a decade can seem like the blink of an eye once its gone.
If you get the chance, watch Denzel Washington's movie version of "The Equalizer." It's kind of bloody, but it was written (in my opinion) really well. Plus it tells his origin.

Oh, is the Equalizer movie about the same basic character as the old TV series? I'd assumed they'd just used the same title.
One of the things I and my former husband loved about the series was how Woodward conveyed the character's, I dunno, tiredness with it all, rather than playing gung-ho action porn. I mean, it wasn't quite an anti-violence show or it wouldn't have sold, but it didn't glorify it.
The episode we most liked in this regard was--I never know episode names--the one where a young woman had been gang-raped in the subway station, and Woodward's character doesn't just have to track down the rapists but persuade the victim's husband (boyfriend?) to stop focusing on his own rage and guilt and go COMFORT HIS WIFE. And then, when Woodward does go after the rapists, we don't get a long dramatic stalk-and-shoot sequence; we cut away to outside the station and just hear the shots: one per rapist, in fairly quick succession. Done.

Wow! That's the same formula the movie followed. He always gave the bad guys the chance to redeem themselves, but if they failed to do so, he got rid of them; however, he didn't like doing what he had to do.

Love the color scheme; yellow and purple are a fantastic combo! I'd be careful with the proportions as her upper body is much larger than her waist and hips. Her silhouette reads quite well against the city and the yellow city lights tie the yellow/purple color scheme together quite well.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thanks, man. I made her proportions like that on purpose for comic book stylization. I've been watching how you use complementary colors and practiced on this piece.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Maybe you could add some more muscle definition to her legs since her arms are so well toned to balance out the detail. That would help the stylization come across a bit more clearly since you did a good job giving her arms a sense of strength.

Usually, I'd agree with you, but this time I have to disagree. Her costume is not the normal texture of superhero spandex. I stylized a more 1960-70s type of material akin to that of the classic Catwoman from the 1970s Batman TV show. The thickness and texture of that style of spandex wouldn't define musculature. In addition to that, I feel it would detract the viewer from the main focal point(s).

Sounds like you have this all thought out. Cool, it's great to plan out and study clothing materials and how they form to the body.

I'm trying to get better at figuring out stuff that I thought I knew about art.
