Amanda Waller by returning Portuguese artist Aliera

So a couple weeks ago Aliera sent me a pencil sketch of Amanda Waller that she did on a whim. It took one quick look to see that the rough draft she had done was going in the right direction. But unfortunately being a mom, wife and nurse doesn't leave her with a whole lot of free time to continue working on stuff like this. And then there's me, as impatient as ever. Therefore I decided to bring it into photoshop and experiment a little bit. I layed down some subtle colors tones and also added some shading here and there to give it a little depth and viola. One of the things I like about how Aliera drew Amanda Waller is that she gave "The Wall" a more feminine look while still showing that Waller is a woman not to be trifled with. This is in keeping with what I was talking about a couple of postings ago and how I would like to see DC portray Amanda Waller from now on.

    Office b-day parties? Now that would be funny.

    "Happy B-day Boomerang"
    "toss off"
    "you want ice cream with your cake?"
    "f*&king toss off"

    Yeah.
    I'm visualizing everybody on pointy hats and whistles and little flags. And Deadshot...
    No... Deadshot no.
    Imagination better not go that far.
