My tribute to the world's most beautiful woman, Lynda Carter. Got a shitload of drawings I want to finish, but shut myself in working on this instead.
Friday night, start working on this, look up, sunrise saturday morning, look up, wow, sunset. Oh, sunrise again. Forget to eat? *sniff* Need shower. Who needs food? Finish showering, resume painting. Sunday, repeat the process. Finished dawn this morning.

When you're that myopically obsessed with drawing teh pretty eagle boobs, you don't notice that maybe ONE EYE is really wonky (part of Carter's incredible beauty was her incredibly symmetrical face, imo), the tiara's crooked, one hand is waay bigger than the other, and I'd completely redo one of her arms if I wasn't afraid of ruining it. BUT PRETTY EAGLE, so who the eff cares?

Actually, now that I look at it, the eagle isn't symmetrical, either. *sigh*:(

Didn't come even close to doing Lynda Carter justice, but it's the thought that counts, right?

Note: I beefed up the arms a little. But yes, Lynda's waist really is that tiny- nor corset required. I suppose by today's comic book standards, her build would be considered frail. She was a dancer before snagging the role, so she has a ballerina's body- so there ya go.

The Eagle boobs do rock!

Those things you pointed out aside, I think you have captured her likeness very well.

I like it at full view, but I do think the smaller thumbnail provides a bigger visual punch for whatever reason.

Wonderful tribute!

The crooked ness of the Tiara gives it a realism that is in fitting with the idea of Lynda Carter, the real life Wonder Woman.
The eyes, I'll concede are a little off, but over look able. The over all likeness is actually very well done, I took one look and new it was Lynda Carter, you did a good job.
ANd yes, the eagle does indeed rock the socks. =)

lol. I'm glad it looks somewhat like Lynda. At some point, I freaked out because in my mind she started looking more like Halle Berry or something.

Not that there's anything wrong with that.
:iconbatgirl84:
Yay! She was my hero when I was little (still is actually) I used to watch the show all the time ( again I still do ) =D aparently she's going to be playing Hippolyta in the Wonder Woman movie

And the eagle is awesome :w00t:

:icondruce-white-owl:
No! No more Halle Berry in comic book roles! First Storm then my dear Catwoman! NO MORE! >_>
She's a good actress, she can do great roles, she's admitted herself that she doesn't put her full effort into comic roles. No more I say!!

<_<
>_>

I'll stop spazzing out now... *tip toes away*
