I am participating in Wonder Woman Day once again this year, a benefit supporting two women's domestic violence shelters and a crisis line.  I hope after reading this post and taking a look at the art, you'll hop on over to their site and place some bids on the art that's available! First, Kevenn T. Smith and I collaborated on an illustration, just like last year!  This one, based on the ABC TV series starring Lynda Carter, has Private Etta Candy (played by Beatrice Colen) and Yeoman Diana Prince (Lynda Carter, of course), who we wanted to make sure were represented in the auction this year.

This is my solo piece.  Wonder Woman often falls prey to cheesecake-y depictions, so I thought I'd turn the tables and supply her with a bevy of beefcake boys - love interests of past and present:  Andros (played by Dack Rambo on the Lynda Carter TV series), Steve Trevor, Beowulf, Tom Tresser/Nemesis, Trevor Barnes, and Hermes.  Think of it as her Mr. Amazon 2008 contest.

After 1-1/2 years, this piece is finally complete! In 2006, I researched, penciled and inked this illustration depicting Wonder Woman and Diana Prince in her most definitive costumes since 1941. A comprehensive history of Wonder Woman's look hasn't been done since George Perez's 1990's poster, and even then it wasn't approached from the original artists' styles. Over the past few months, Kevenn T. Smith and I have been working on the colors in Photoshop. Between my drawing and his color expertise, we produced this result.

Almost every definitive version of Diana that has appeared in the comic book and other media is in this drawing, drawn by me but based on the original artists' artwork: H.G. Peter, George Perez, Jose Luis Garcia-Lopez, Mike Deodato, Phil Jimenez, Terry Dodson, Jose Delbo, Ross Andru, Irv Novick, Curt Swan, Don Heck, Gene Colan, Jill Thompson, Mike Sekowsky, Alex Toth, Bruce Timm, and Darwyn Cooke. In addition, I included the Lynda Carter and Cathy Lee Crosby versions of Wonder Woman because no true history of Diana would be complete without them. Earth-2 Wonder Woman is based on Lynda Carter since there really isn't a definitive depiction of her. Lynda Carter (including her Diana Prince and the motorcycle outfit), Cathy Lee Crosby, and Earth-2 are in my art style and not based on another artists' work.
