SUNDAY FUNNIES WITH KERRY CALLEN!
By KERRY CALLEN
Want to know something almost interesting? Sometimes artists can inspire themselves! Consider this Woman Woman art I drew digitally:
I had recently drawn a very similar Wonder Woman on a yellow, blank comic cover. I created it using black ink and color pencils. I liked the pose. So, I decided to do a digital version, where I have more control over the finished image.
But that’s not all! The Wonder Woman pose was inspired by a Spider-Man I drew on a blank comic cover. I liked the foreshortening effect of the web, so when it later came time for me to draw a Wonder Woman cover, I ripped off myself!
Now I’m trying to think of other characters that would work with an I’m-throwing-this-in-your-face pose. A batarang on a rope would work! Ha ha! I should have Superman throwing it, just to confuse people.

The cover looks amazing! I haven’t seen a Wonder Woman cover like that ever!

I’m amazed how well they line up. Did your digital start with a scan of the pencil drawing? I look forward to seeing the others now that you’ve already teased the BATMAN. Ya kinda have to do it now.

Yes, I traced off my original art. I didn’t want to reinvent the wheel. I just wanted to retread it.

You should sell prints of this. Simply an amazing design!

Nice! Maybe a Chris Reeve inspired cover where he’s throwing that blasted plastic “S” shield shower curtain from his chest, as done in Superman II.

Ha ha! I think about that scene more than I should.

I love the combination of your art and the classic old DC Comics logos on this art. It works so well!

> Now I’m trying to think of other characters that would work
• Ghost Rider and his chains?
• Lobo and his hook chain?
• Elongated Man/Plastic Man/Mr. Fantastic and their arm?
• Toad and his tongue?
