• What is the one way Wonder Woman can stop Orion?

2011 “Wonder Woman DCnU” color art by Ramon Villalobos

Click To Enlarge


"Take my opinion with a grain of salt (because I have no sense of style whatsoever) but I kind of like this costume. It’s certainly one of the better costumes to come out of the relaunch even with the weird choker. Maybe I’m just letting my love for Cliff Chiang’s art blind me and I’m rationalizing this. I don’t know. Am I wrong? Does this suck?"
Some artists have natural talent, and others earned their skill along a long hard road. Ramon Villalobos did it that second way. He didn't really start out all that hot back in 2005 when he began using deviantART. He's progressed mightily in the half-dozen years since with a style reminiscent of Frank Quitely, and rates his own gallery appearance today.

Japanese artist "kit-kit-kit" is clearly a Wonder Woman fan, with a wealth of pieces that could just as easily have been spotlighted here as this awesome battle with the Justice Priscilla Rich Cheetah. You should also check out "Amazon Princess", "Diana Prince" "Diana of Themyscira" "The goddess came" and "Queen of the Amazons".
