doc_destructoWhile I do appreciate a good, creative kick in the pants that gets me motivated and drawing again, I would rather not have had it come from being disgusted at the latest release of a Supergirl Statue. (the pic is on the site) Ugh. She's supposed to be sixteen. And I think her breasts are attached to her collar bone and trapezius...
So I reached over to my handy sketchbook, which I had not touched in a couple weeks, and said to myself, "Hell. *I* can come up with a better Supergirl than *THAT*" and started drawing what I would eventually dub "Girl Power". It is uncanny the number of things I've written or drawn simply out of the desire to know I am superior to someone/thing.
Supergirl
Wondergirl
Batgirl
the boys
Is this a thought exercise? Or am I going to be compelled to actually do a few pages of a doujinshi-like story? God only knows at this point.

The whole idea of "Girl Power" spawned from reading too damned much about how the latest incarnation of Supergirl was horribly portrayed, inaccessable to actual girls (and the female gender as a whole) and perusing some of the Supergirl sketches from "Draw Supergirl" meme a couple months back. That, and that fetish statue that was recently released.
So I reached over to my handy sketchbook, which I had not touched in a couple weeks, and said to myself, "Hell. *I* can come up with a Supergirl comic better than *THAT*" and started drawing what I would eventually dub "Girl Power".
Girl Power is the mighty pre-adolescent trio of Supergirl, Wondergirl, and Batgirl. It was originally supposed to just be about Supergirl. The thing is... I'm not a huge Superman fan and I barely know anything about Supergirl herself. But I like drawing girls with hammers with oftentimes clueless or hapless boys. So I decided a young Wondergirl would be Supergirl's friend and co-discoverer on the journey of learning just what the hell is going on in the place. And then I had to add Batgirl because it completed things and let me make jokes with the Bat Family.
