Here is a What if That I had decided to color. What if Wonder Girl and Starfire would become Star Sapphire during the Blackest Night.
I would think after the change over to star sapphire they should get new heroines names such as Wonder Girl would be called Sapphire Wonder. Starfire would be called Sapphire Hime. XD
Of course both of them are a bit upset since most of there friends has been turn into black Lanterns during the Blackest night story arc.
Please let me know what you think of the drawing. all comments are welcomed ^_^ or feel free to just drop by and just say hi ^_^
I'm writing this Critique in response to your request on #ComicFemales.
Overall, this work is very strong. I really like what you have done here.
MY CONCERNS:
I'll start with the things that I feel could be improved.
- Composition: The overall layout of the image doesn't seem ideal to me. For instance, the crop is close to WG's head, and right through SFs hair-- If their eyes were around 1/4 to 1/3 down the page then the focus on their expressions would have more impact. (Right now, they layout leads to their chests-- which I could understand, but everyone's eyes will go there next anyhow.)
- Inking (Linework): Part of me really likes the ultra-fine linework you've used here. It's very sharp and crisp, and distinctive. However, I think more varied line weights would give the image more depth and impact.
- Coloring (Shading): Really the only problem I have with the coloring is that the light source isn't clear. Where do you feel the light is coming from in this image? This leads to some confusion about the depth and shapes.
- Background: The moon/sky in the background work well as a simple backdrop. However, the debris and smoke at the bottom doesn't seem to be of the same quality as the rest of the image.
WHAT WORKS:
All that said, for the most part I think this work is powerful and well-executed. Here are some of the biggest strenghts.
Coloring (Palette): You've got some excellent color choices going on here. Given the combination of all of Starfire's colors, Wonder Girl's hair color, and the Star Sapphire colors-- you should have ended up with something that clashed atrociously. You didn't, and I commend you!
Coloring (Style): I really like the soft but somewhat flat-feeling style you've used for the colors. There's depth, and a soft sensuality, but it has a strong pop-art/designy feeling that works for the image.
Emotion/Expressions: Their expressions are great, and very expressive. I wouldn't have thought that Wonder Girl would scowl at being linked to the spirit of love, but the expression is still powerful and well-executed. Even the somewhat blank expression that Starfire has is well-executed and mysterious.
Character/Likeness: One thing you have definitely nailed is something that people usually have a hard time with in comics art-- You can easily distinguish the characters. I don't mean colors, costumes, and powers-- all of which are modified here. I mean that you can tell which characters we are seeing based on their faces, attitudes, and physiques. They definitely aren't generic.
Again, overall this is great! I look forward to seeing more.
