I is for Irene - A to Z Character Challenge

I is for Irene! I've been excited to revisit Irene, she's one of my favorite characters if not my favorite.

Irene is young mechanic and pilot whose dream since childhood has been soar in the skies. She both makes and flies these machines called Aerodynes which are sorta like speeder bikes but they can go to much higher altitudes than a few feet above the ground. However, the regent of her nation has declared that Irene is not eligible to get her pilot's license because of her family past. She challenges this decree and is given the chance to earn her license...if she can beat 5 of the Academy's top pilots in her age group in aerial paintball combat. If you'd like to read that first book, click HERE! I still have a couple of copies in my store, so if you'd like to snag a copy, do so soon. I maybe have 2 copies left and am unsure when I can print more.

Tools: FW Acrylic Ink (Rowney Blue) and a Raphael #3 8404 brush
Paper: Stillman and Birn gamma sketchbook

DC Ladies in Watercolor

These are some watercolor sketches from my Stillman and Birn alpha sketchbook. I was painting these in between assignments last quarter and I think they turned out well. I'm not really all that interested in accurate depictions but more on doing my own interpretation of them. I find their outfits to be kinda silly, like why wouldn't Wonder Woman wear Greek like armor? Why is she going into battle in a one piece swimsuit?

My favorite is Hawkgirl, that one came out the best I think.
