5 Comic Ladies I Like Reading: Terra

Oooh, tis the last day of August so I may as well post SOMETHING, and that something is this,

A countdown of my 5 New 52 favourite ladies, I made a haphazard attempt to do my top 10 favourite comic ladies of all time months and months ago and only managed the first entry with Power Girl who may or may not be in this list. 

Moving on, our first favourite Lady of the new 52 is... 

Terra! (yay!)

Now, as a child I'd never heard of the Geokinetic-Teen Wonder that was Terra until I began watching Teen Titan on Cartoon Network where she looked like...

And I LOVED her! But of course she turned evil and then got turned into stone and was never heard from again which, when I began to actually read comics a couple of years back and discovered a similar thing had occurred to her comic counter part I was a little heart-broken, not because she was no longer in universe, but that she's been created solely for the purpose of betraying the Titans and was such a waste of a character.

Then I began to read the Power Girl books and a new Terra showed up looking like...

this:

Some subterranian ambassador to Earth, who had the same abilities but was not evil and decided she would be Power Girl's side-kick (for whatever reason) and I never really took to her, she wasn't as blonde or badass as the Terra I'd known as a kid.

Then came the reboot, with a new set of Teen Titans with their own spin-off; Ravagers.

Where the original Terra showed up looking like this:

Which is ther version I have drawn above, I have high hopes for her this time around!

If they can shove Lois Lane out of the way in favour of Superman pairing up with Wonder Woman then they can make Terra not evil.

Not evil and ass kicking!

Wonder Woman

I love Wonder Woman, she's no Black Canary but I like what she stands for and I can't grasp as to why, of the 'trinity' she alone seems to be less popular, you would think that a hot battle-goddess whom hails from an island populated solely by other hot battle-goddesses, fighting mythical creatures whilst scantily clad would appeal to most readers but hey. Whatever.

I've given her a teeny bit of a redesign as I believe pants are a tad more practical for fighting monsters than knickers. I also thought this looked hella good when I was drawing it last night at 2am but my woken up eyes see it differently.

Really need to start doing more traditional work, also BONUS SKETCHES!

Really just me trying out different costumes/hair/doodling

Earth-2 Huzzah!

I can't wait! Ahh!

So in May, in the wake of DC canceling some of its less succesful titles such as Hawk & Dove (meh) O.M.A.C (I only know what an O.M.A.C is because of Power-Girl) and Static Shock (yawn) although I will miss Blackhawks, DC have announced the 'Second Wave!' of the new 52 which brings with it new titles, 4 of which grab my attention like a burger grabs the attention of a fat person at 50 yards.

Batman Inc. (Batmen around the world? Cassandra Cain please!) The Ravagers (because the new Teen-Titans is great so far) Earth-2 (Justice Society, YAY!) and most importantly, World's Finest, which focuses on Earth-2's Power-Girl and Huntress who are two of my all time favourite comic-ladies.

So once again, I have drawn Power-Girl, I tried to make her a little chunky, because lets face it, now DC have shrunk Amanda Waller and Etta Candy, its significantly lacking in women who aren't stick-thin.
 

Top Ten Girls in Comics: 10

Is it a bird? Is it a pair of hot air balloons? No it's Superman's none cousin and the Super-girl from a parallel universe with much larger beasts...
POWER GIRL!

For some insane reason I've decided I'm going to do my favourite ten girls from comics, from both mainstream and indie because well... I can damn it. 

I kick of this list with one of DC's largest women, Kara Zor-El a.k.a Powergirl. I like Powergirl because she's a little bit of an underdog, I mean she's got all of Superman's (and Supergirl's) powers yet gets none of the attention and from my very foggy understanding of the DC Universe, she was here before Supergirl, the skank.

So yeah, instead of being  one of the all-star heroes like she should be, she's delegated into being a joke about big boobs, for example:

She's not even in the New DC Universe yet other thank boinking that black superhero whose name alludes me at the moment, but I hope she either gets her own title again or at least becomes part of a new Justice Society, this new Universe is endangering some of the lesser heroes.
END RANT!

Also I believe all the top ten will be digitally done, maybe even one per day GASP!

Witty Post Title

I fail to see why I keep trying digital stuff but whatevs bro.

I've decided I don't like the way the line work looks, I need a reyt* good brush or sly way of inking in photoshop cause there's not enough friction on my tablet for my taste. Anyway here it is, my DCUO character.

Now, I don't play games as often as I'd like to because;

A) I like to pretend I don't have time and

B) My money is better spent on comics and shoes.

BUT, DC Universe Online recently decided it would be free, and so I quickly downloaded it (and it took  like 30 hours) and am now really into it, I made like 4 heroes before I ended up with one I liked using, a Gadget powered Gal in the Tech field who uses a pole, her name however sucks: Rockette. 

But I used my good names on the previous 3 heroes who sucked.

Anyway, great game, highly recommended.

*really

Bit of Fan Art

Quick photoshop drawing, I haven't drawn in like a week, and I haven't drawn in photoshop for like a month so I blame the quality on that and not the fact that I genuinley can't draw with photoshop or even like using it but it's quicker than inks, either way here it is;

Harley Quinn from the DC Universe, my favorite villain next to Catman (maybe) I was aiming to not use outlines for no reason, and minimal shading due to laziness (only an hour overall, including sketching her out) although I must have started a thousand Harley drawings I never finish them because she never looks right.

Also the DC Universe is rebooting or whatever in two days, so I feel the urge to give it fan arting.
