Description As promised, the second of my back-to-back Avengers bonanza is none other than Hank Pym's wife herself, the Wasp! While she isn't really a character that I've come to love, her character in the EMH cartoon show has given her a major boost, especially after all she's been through in the comics lately, and that has motivated me enough to make a piece on one of the founding members of the Avengers.

I like how I was able to do her short hairstyle (inspired by her look in EMH of course), and it's a good stepping stone for me to keep practicing different hairstyles for females to keep getting better on them. The facial expression for me is the crowning jewel of the piece, and I love how I was able to bring out that happy-go-lucky side of Janet with her blue eyes and million dollar smile, and her body pose adds to that factor even more.

The costume was something I had to think about carefully since Janet has a plethora of different costumes over the years. I ended up with her latest outfit which she wore during Secret Invasion because I love how sleek and elegant it looks, and the addition of the gold on her costume really brings out the needed awesome factor to the outfit. Her wings were something I had to work on thoroughly too, and I added enough details and brush strokes to make them look like they're flapping and holding Janet up in the air.

I'm glad I was able to do justice on Wasp with this piece, and I'm sure she'll go well along with my recently added Ant-Man. A lot has happened over the years for the Wasp, but we can't ever forget she was one of the first five members of the team, and that by itself means Janet here deserves all the respect she can get.

Very good.
I like this version of her costume, I also like the white and blue one she had in the comics and the space suit she had in Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes. And I love the one she's gonna have in Avengers: Secret Wars coming up.

Yay for Jan! I think all her costumes were good (given her occupation that should be the case) but her most modern look held out very well and you've done it justice here. Whilst she didn't have the worst exit in Secret Invasion (she went out fighting which is how heroes should always go) I do hope they'll be a return for her in the future.

PS. Since you said you took requests and whilst you've done Pym already any chance you could have one for Eric O'Grady's Ant Man as well? Of the three he's my favourite because of his often jerkish nature and the fact that he probably used size changing for what most sane hetrosexual guys would consider at some point! But also because he tries to be a better person thanks to others and I like that because it makes him believable as a hero.

I agree that Jan should be returned soon, hopefully she will be!

As for Eric O' Grady, I'd love to do him at some point in the future but for now I'm focusing more on character I haven't done before I work on different versions of people like Iron Man, Wolverine, and Cyclops. I'll be sure to get that done soon though, I agree that he's the most realistic of the three and a good rendition of the character. Plus his costume is awesome!

That's ok, I'd feel the same way about drawing new characters too if it were me. Thanks for liking Eric, not everyone loves the superjerk like I do (plus he was in nearly as many teams as Lang ever was).

Another idea for a character down the line might be Skrull Queen Veranke, if you fancy trying a super villainess.

Sure! I loved him during Secret Invasion and how he was just too scared to do anything haha!

Ooo that sounds interesting! I'll be sure to do Spider-Woman soon though, but Queen Veranke I'm not so sure.

Wonderful take on Janet!

Not only was she a great founder, but she grew by leaps and bounds, even having a great run as the Avengers' chairman.

Sure, at her best she could "only" punch a hole in a brick wall, but she's like Hawkeye. Totally overwhelmed when it comes to facing futuristic warlords and evil gods, but never backing down from being that line in the sand to save the world!

Thank you so much! I know I love how even if she's way out of her league she still fights the good fight, that's really what makes a hero anyway.

I'd really love to, but I'd like to focus on Marvel characters for the meantime if you get my drift. I don't think I'm in the same league as those who really do commissions anyway haha!

Wow that is a challenge! HAHA! I'm not so familiar with the Runaways since I've never read them, but I'll likely do them sooner or later!
