My Wonder Woman work seems to be the most popular with people who know of my art, and since I haven’t had a Wonder Woman artcard available for a while, I thought it was time to put a new one out there.  Usually, when I draw Wonder Woman, I depict the Modern Age version.  I’m a big fan of the costume the way Terry Dodson re-designed it, so that’s why that look is usually my go-to version of the costume.  However, for this artcard, I felt it was time to do something different, and that’s why I ended up going with the Bronze Age Wonder Woman when she still had the eagle instead of the later double “w” symbol.

And what could be a more fun way of depicting Bronze Age Wonder Woman than in a Lynda Carter inspired Wonder Spin?  Another way that I like to depict Wonder Woman, is smiling.  I like the idea of a Wonder Woman who loves life and enjoys what she does.  My ideal Wonder Woman is happy.

This artcard and all the other artcards I’ve done are all original hand-made works and can be purchased or $15 plus shipping ($4.95 USPS Priority Shipping – international shipping will be calculated upon an individual order).

This is a commission that I did for a friend.  When I was a small child, I drew pictures of characters from Star Wars a lot.  I don’t think I drew Darth Vader very often, or at all.  I always liked the good guys better as a kid.

Earlier this year, I drew several Star Wars trading cards for a charity event to take place later this year, but I still hadn’t drawn Darth Vader (or any Stormtroopers).  This piece gave me the opportunity to tackle those characters and find my own take on them.  At first, I got a little intimidated by the limited motion their armor would allow, but eventually, I figured out the way I needed to approach it that would work.
