Wonder Woman Revamp Art

I saw on Twitter that Wonder Woman  was getting an overhaul. Here’s the new look.

I have no idea who the artists is. It must not have been important to the  Comic Book Resources interviewer. In comics, artists aren’t nearly as important as the writer are they?…. ARE THEY?

I guess they’re (or J. Michael Stracynski to be more precise) trying to be ‘edgy’ and ‘darker’ with a character that I don’t think was really created for that. All superheroes don’t have to be ‘edgier’ or ‘darker’. Making her more ‘urban’ seems silly, too. If it were me, I’d shoot for the tone from John Byrne’s run on Superman back in the late 80s, but it’s not me, so they can ruin their characters however they want to ruin them. I’m sure her long time fans will be howling that they’re changing the outfit, but the’ll change it back, when the movie thing is more concrete. They always do.

Anyway, just to join in, I did my own version and I tried to still keep her looking super-hero-ish instead of the ‘urban’ version above with leather jacket and boot spurs (or straps or whatever). Not saying it’s an improvement on what’s above. Just wanted to draw my own version. Here’s the ‘line art’…

I’ve never drawn Wonder Woman before (I don’t think), so this is probably my one and only time for doing so.

Let me know what you think… Next ‘deadline’ I guess will be  Saturday (to stay with the original Thursday deadline). I’ve gotten that a bit confusing haven’t I?
