Weather Goddess VS Force of Nature

This is a pretty recent addition to my list. Had a lot of fun figuring out how to do everything with this picture. Originally I was going to have the Hulk wrecking a little more stuff, practice my terrain. Then I penciled the characters and wound up too happy with them to really care about the terrain.


About the heels. I am one of those people who thinks that women in comics need to update their wardrobes to incorporate pants. I'm one of the few people who believed that the addition of pants to Wonder Woman's attire was a great idea simply because no woman would have her ass out there like that without some sort of excuse (a la Lulu Lemon). I understand the bright colours, brand recognition is important in the real world (Every one of you knows the McDonalds colours). I understand the tights, fictional figures have a certain musculature in all eras and cultures, and both artists and viewers like seeing the human body, and the argument that nobody wears tights can be thrown out the window (again, Lulu Lemon). I even understand amping up characters sexuality, I think people tend to only look at half the picture on that subject. The Hulk is wearing less clothing than Storm up there. All of this I understand and I think that people tend to blow them out of proportion. All of it has to make sense to the individual character, though.

Heels fit Storm. To me, anyways. Storm is very regal, she's very strong, very self assured. She has a very attractive way about her, and I believe that heels help with that.

Also, she flies and throws lightning. No tripping hazard.
