Belated Birthday Treats

Belated Birthday Treats Originally uploaded by Gelatomettista2.

I've had this scan since the summer. It's a birthday gift for a bud of mine; we celebrated during the SDCC but I wanted to get the piece framed so it sat in the office til we saw one another again (couldn't well post it before he saw it in person). We finally got together again so now I can post this sucka online.

He's a big Wonder Woman fan; so much so that his fiancè even resembles Wonder Woman. Some guys get all the luck, right? Anyway, this is the version of Wonder Woman I prefer--big helm, skirt instead of the tights, cape for a more regal pose. And everyone looks cooler standing on a mountaintop.

Here's a closer look.

The tone of the muscles and stance, along with the radiant lips makes it astounding.Ever since Psylock and Uncanny X-men 269(the rememberable cat fight) I started to noticed your delicate detail towards females. You know how to draw all types of dashing women. Whether they are hard working go-getters who are clawing their way to the top with scars to show. Or a royal/high-class bathing beauty. Great stuff and thanks for sharing your images. Enjoy the long Thanksgiving week to come.

You still amaze me. I have been collecting your comics for fifteen plus years now. You have been a huge influence in my own artwork. Whoever recieved this work as a birthday present, I am jealous. I have quite a bit of your work. I even have a multiplication flash card that you signed. (I found it lying on the ground unsigned while waiting in line during an autograph session). That is however one thing I do not have.. an original Jim Lee piece. Looking forward to the finals of Iron Chef battles.

Wonderful piece Jim. I also have a preference of the skirt over the tights. I was never a fan of the lasso, however I did really enjoy the sword and shield combo you drew Wonderwoman with in your Superman run, but I guess a 'shield of truth' wouldnt work so well eh?
