since I'm only familiar with a couple of those superheroines, it would have been nice if the artist had posted pics of them in their original costumes too, just so we could compare the different looks.

Other than Supergirl and Wonder Woman I didn't know any of those heroines. What about Batgirl?

I really like Jun's rendition by the folks who made the NTT commercial a few years back--a sorta "Black Swan."

I <3 Wonderwoman...she seems so formidable...and if more superheroines looked like this, I might even read more comics, or at least investigate the ones I don't readily know. FWIW, I am gonna make this version of WW into my lates refridge magnet.

Nice work, Springie! But the tilt of the Swan's head suggests she's not quite sure about this ...

It looks good, but it seems like her pants are too dark. Maybe making them white would blend in with the original look of the boots?

I am thinking the pants should be tucked into the top of the boots. Maybe the boots could be calf length instead to help with the fully dressed look.

To be honest, I find half of them just horrid (sorry, that includes the Wonder Woman, khaki dress slacks???) There's a lot of middle ground between sex kitten and dowdy. Some of these skip right to dowdy. I agree that Jun would look better here in white (or at least lighter) pants. That's a seriously inky black. Smile

I agree with the others. Even the look on her face suggests she's not sure. Why slacks at all? Why not leggings or a body suit? Yes they are more revealing, but they aren't flashing skin and more protective, while slacks which are looser fitting can get hung up more easily.

Good start Springie! Hee hee. I gotta say, the superheroines have started a good discussion between my daughter (late teen), and I about women's roles and the perception thereof. We both agree, that the drawings shift the reader's focus. Currently Wonder Woman, in all her clothed glory, is adorning my fridge. It is going to be interesting to track what sort of commentary she engenders...

Just got hit my a major writer's block, so I thought I join in on the fun. (I took the liberty to customise the outfit a little bit more)

That's an interesting look. So many times I've seen an armor design that was too clunky to move in, but you've given the Swan something that offers protection without compromising her mobility.
