DC Comics Heroines 2007
Sunday, July 6, 2008 at 04:28PM I thought the best way to get the ball rolling here on my portfolio was to write about one of my favorite pieces I did.
The goal of this piece was to portray my favorite versions of my favorite DC Comics Heroines, including the costume details and artist depictions of them. I also wanted to try to depict as many characters as I could in a way that was iconic to the character; to try to communicate something about who that character was.
Some of the artist whose styles I worked to emulate for these characters were: Terry Dodson, Amanda Conner, Nicola Scott, Adam Hughes, Ed Benes, Joe Bennet, Joe Staton, Dale Eaglesham, Brian Bolland, Tony Daniel, Pete Woods, Mike McKone, Michael Turner, Jamal Igle, George Perez, Kevin Maguire, Chris Batista, Phil Jimenez, J.G. Jones, Al Barrionuevo, Daniel Acuna, Matthew Clark, Todd Nauck, Tom Grummet, Bill Willingham, Adriana Melo, and Jesus Saiz.
What follows is a numbered version of the piece, and below that is the key to the names of the numbered characters:
01. Jade; 02. Raven; 03. Isis; 04. Supergirl (Kara Zor-El);
05. Supergirl (Linda Danvers); 06. Aquagirl; 07. Ravager;

I love all your illustrations, but I particularly like this one because that Wonder Woman is just FLAWLESS from head to toe! Seeing it on here makes me want a high-res pic that I can use for my desktop background!!!
The site looks great! Keep up the amazing work! :D
Thank you
