Princess of the Amazons by Arnel Baluyot

I absolutely love the work of Alphonse Mucha, look him up, you’ll be doing yourself a favor. So for my next comic book piece I really wanted to emulate that art nouveau sensibility. Up to this point I’ve been doing a lot of male characters exclusively from one comic book publsiher (Marvel). With this piece I wanted to deviate from that completely and try a female character from DC comics. Wonder Woman has always been one of DC’s main characters and I’ve always wanted to try my hand at drawing her. I started her off traditionally with pencil, scanned the pencils and painted it in Photoshop. All of the Art Nouveau design work was done in Illustrator.
I hope you guys like it.

Take a look at Arnel’s process shots up on his Blog as well.

Azzarello & Chiang on Wonder Woman

Details are being announced today on the new creative teams and let’s start with Wonder Woman. The new team is Brian Azzarello and Cliff Chiang. The artist I am thrilled with. I need to think about Azzarello. I had hoped for Grant Morrison but I was told that was not happening earlier this week. Look at this art.

One of the first things reported that I’m kinda happy with, Azzarello wrote two of my favorite Superman comics. I really like his approach to characters.

WOW! OK, so Brian Azzarello is an amazing writer. This is GOOD.

BUT BUT BUT here’s the thing — if you’ve read his Joker graphic novel, it contained two women: Harley Quinn and the ex-wife of Joker’s new henchman. Azzarello made HQ (whose personality is very gabby) MUTE and fridged the ex-wife when Joker raped her in order to get to his henchman. There were two women as well in Lex Luthor: Man of Steel, but I honestly can’t remember how strong their portrayals were.

SO…. :/
