The Echo chamber dilemmaThe promise of the Internet was that unlimited information and experiences would draw us together. But instead it seems to have driven us apart.
For years I've observed this behavior but haven't been able to vocalize it correctly. Originally I called the behavior of collective opinions as "the hive mentality" of the Internet. But that wasn't exactly right and I often got called out on it. The most prominent example was when I made a comic about a guy disagreeing with opinions and being shouted at till he remained quiet, eventually fading into the background with everyone else. The consensus of that comic was that if you disagree with someone you aren't bullied into not speaking, but instead are free to go someplace else where people who do agree with you exist. And you know what? That wasn't what i was trying to convey, but is sadly true. The Internet is not a hive mind. It's many tiny pocket echo chambers of mutual agreements.
And this is becoming a growing problem, I think, because n

Callibrate your Wacom tutorialHad you finally made the transition from intuos 3 to intuos 4?, or Are you rich to change into an intuos 5? Had you made the transition from a first generation cintiq to the new ones?. More levels of pressure will mean more quality to the paintings, am i right?.
Did you thought that by default the pen will it be like using butter on bread?, you try it for the first time and you love all of it, you said i have sooooooo much control on my strokes im having a blast.

Did you ever thought that painter its hard to handle with new tablet? Too much pressure? If it has more pressure why i cant control more easier the beggining of the stroke which is more crucial?.

So Why Wonder Woman?

by ~Jeffach, Aug 11, 2012, 3:13:33 PM
Journals / Personal

I've had several people ask why I do so many images of Wonder Woman. Is she my favorite superhero? Can't say that she is, I prefer batman, in fact I never even read a single Wonder Woman comic. Do I have some weird infatuation with her? Not that I'm aware of. I just think she deserves a better live action treatment than she has been given. On top of that at times DC seems to be trying to morph the character into either Superman or Batman.

It started back about a year and a half ago when NBC announced that a new TV show starring Adrianne Palicki as Wonder Woman was in the works. But then they revealed her costume...it was horrible. It looked like a cheap Halloween costume. I wanted to do the character justice and give her a costume that both looked good and yet was loyal to the original. The only other notable live action version of the character was the Lynda Carter show from the 70's. And although we all love Lynda as Wonder Woman it was very cheesy and campy.

I was also inspired by this poster portraying Megan Fox as Wonder Woman: [link] . The poster got some attention a few years back and even though the creator obviously had some decent photoshop skills, the costume looked pretty fake. The arrogant artist in me came out and said "pshhhh, I can do better than that." Man he can be a jerk sometimes...

I've always loved doing Photoshop collages, there's something about the challenge of taking multiple photos and trying to make them all look like one cohesive image that i just really enjoy. Anyway so I did my own version of a Wonder Woman poster. Then moved on to Aquaman and the original golden age version of the Flash. The idea was to do "real" versions superheros who haven't been done well in live action or not at all. But I realized that my Wonder Woman was gaining much more attention than the others. So I figured why not do more, and I did another, and another and another. I started to really enjoy experimenting with new techniques of creating the costume and honing in on what I thought looked good and what didn't. I was also really motivated by all the positive feedback I was receiving.

Now its gotten to the point that whenever I come across a stock image of a woman online, I cant help but think to myself "Can I turn her into Wonder Woman?". Its some sort of metal illness I'm pretty sure.

i kn ow what you mean about wonder woman not being done any justice. I have a love hate relationship with her costume. god knows if i draw her i would do a tweaked modified version of it. there are a few industry pros And "DA heavy hitters" that do a good job with renditions of her, but for the most part she is one of those characters that is a bad ass staple that you just want to draw because you think why are people not doing her any justice when the render her!?!?! :smack: one day she will appear in my gallery. no where near as many times as yours, lol,...but i feel you.

~Jeffach Oct 5, 2012

I think you'd do an awesome job with her, you've got a kick ass style. I almost like your sketches more than the final pieces.

*JustArt27 Oct 5, 2012 Professional Digital Artist

thanks! ill hit WW up before the year is out. keep an eye out for it.

~Jeffach Oct 10, 2012

thank u!

*PsychedelicOrange Sep 15, 2012 Professional General Artist

Your work reminds me a lot of another artist, R.F. Koert [link] He focuses mainly on women in Latex, but he has done several versions of Wonder Woman in her wetsuit costume from the Lynda Carter tv series [link] It would be very interesting to see your take on this outfit, since you've done so many images of WW.

~DragonDF Sep 11, 2012

I created my login here just to be possible to comment in your pictures.
But I am happy to see we have more things in common.
I started to love HQ with Batman. I like this hero because he is SMART, not so strong but... he is HUMAN. He is a trained men. He is like a BETTER Cop, a person who lives to battle with the evil.
I like your pictures. Specially Wonder Woman ones.
No, I have never read a HQ about Wonder Woman. I don't know very much about her.
But..
In this world, I think she is inspiration for a lot of Women (real ones) that go to the GYM, school, help in house, etc. They are real Wonder Women.
She is a way that GIRLS can see to the world: HEY, we are heros, too. Not only MEN.

About the Wonder Women uniform: I did not like them, too.
I like a Sexy Wonder Woman.
Fox is not for me the BEST option to be the Wonder Woman.

If I could suggest you one FACE for your next work to Wonder Woman, take a look in this Girl + Shape:
facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=466711843349688

Wonder Woman is strong and sexy and the same time. Not a weak girl that have never trained anything in the gym (or almost not).

Just a suggestion.
I hope you don't mind.

~Jeffach Sep 11, 2012

You're suggestions are certainly welcome. I agree about Megan Fox not being a good Wonder Woman, but I've never used Fox for any of my Wonder Woman images.

Cheryl Rosenberger is nice, but her upper body is a bit too thick and muscular for me. Also not a fan of her fake boobs.

~DragonDF Sep 12, 2012

Thank you for you reply, Jeffach!
I like her fake boobs...ahaahaha.

About Megan Fox, I saw one picture here in deviantArt, for this I wrote her name. She is a pretty girl, but she is far away of the Wonder Woman's body. My opinion.

I see heroes like people who need Muscle to combat the evil. It is not possible to imagine that a weak girl can be a hero.

This is not a critic of your work. Just my opinion in general.

I'd like, if possible, to give you suggestion in your next works, if you allow me.
I am sure you are a busy person.

Have a nice week!
