New Amanda Waller fan art from Trinidad & Tabago


Here we have some new fan art from a lovely and talented young lady from the twin island Caribbean nation of  Trinidad & Tobago. As you can see this piece exemplifies well the principles of good figure drawing in terms of proportions, perspective and composition. She also has a distinctive style to her work which is almost as important as a good understanding of the principles of illustration. Take a moment to view some of her other work: http://sodaesketchbox.blogspot.com/ This was her reply when asked how she came about doing a rendering of Amanda Waller.

 "I got to like Waller from DCUO- a PC game. I haven't seen the GL movie, Bassett seemed like the best physical reference I was interested in using. Since most versions of her seem to be different, I assumed that maybe it was a Hollywood image move, placing Bassett in the film. Yet, I wasn't really interested in the movie per se, just an image I came across that I could work with to portray the voice that I liked in DCUO. Not too asexual and yet not too comic-female-stereotype. That's what I was aiming for."

  1. Not bad, not bad at all. This would not look too out of place as part of a web-animated SS project. Let's she if she's up to creating more SS members in the future.

    2. This is the best combination of the comic book and movie version of Amanda that I've seen. I went to her site and let her know. This was a very good find man. She's self taught.

      I've been having CPU problems for a couple of days. Computers been going super slow, kicked me off the live draft last night, it's been bad.
