To Lift a Meme

Another super-heroine meme: Draw Power Girl!



Mine's a Kirby swipe homage, with Power Girl in a classic Big Barda pose. I didn't make any costume changes but I did track down what a real howitzer is supposed to look like (whether or not I got it right is pretty debatable). Anyway, just something for fun & practice.

I've been following the meme, and I wanted to say I really like your Power Girl. She looks strong (not just that she's carrying a Howitzer, but it doesn't look like a prop, it has actual heft) and she's idealized but not ludicrous, I've seen actual living women proportioned much like this.

Thanks! I was studying what Jack Kirby had done in one of my favorite drawings of his. His is a bit more exaggerated but still very believable. Strength and femininity are a pretty awesome combination!

I think the feet are two small for the rest of her proportions, but I'm really impressed with the rest of it! Your inking is righteous!

I mean too small, not "two small"... sheesh
Oh whatever, you knew what I meant.

I struggled a bit with her feet - I was probably sticking too close to Kirby's drawing in this case and lost sight of the drawing as a whole.

Cute, smirky, and muscular. She looks a little like Starbuck. I would like to see big stompy boots though.

Very nice!

I think she should be holding something in her other hand. Like a glass of wine maybe... Or a delicate butterfly...
