Description ...yet another commission sketch for a client in California last year I believe...can't remember.
She just wanted Supergirl flying but I added a little extra ,made it a "family" pic.
Again one of the hardest things to depict believably...a human figure in flight!

*Graphite on Bristol

thanks, I saw it as a challenge on perspective and angles, plus I wanted to work on some background.

Very nice!
Would you mind if I added color to it? I would of course credit you for the line art & link back to this page.

Thanks. I'll post a link to it here when I'm done with the colors. Feel free to have a look at other Supergirl/Power Girl images that I've colored in my gallery.

I imagine that's Krypto the super-dog in the bottom left corner, right?

very well done, considering the low res pic you had to work with, I especially like the texture of some of the background objects; like the trees and bushes...the house and grass.
-nicely done my friend

Thanks! I'm glad you like it!
Feel free to leave a comment on that page too! [link] It's always nice to get the approval of the original artist.
Yeah, I didn't want the background to detract from the characters, but I also didn't want it to be just plain/solid green (or whatever color).

Very nice work on the perspecitive. Flying and looking down angles are always complicated. You did a really nice job on all of them. It's nice to see a classic version of Supergirl once in awhile. This is like the Supergirl I grew up with

SURFACEART In reply to KittysTavern [2008-03-29 06:12:53 +0000 UTC]

- yeah, I had never drawn her before so I wanted to do something a little different yet challenging so I came up with this angle...mainly to work on my perspective and my backgrounds which I am weak at...
-thanks

I saw this for sale on eBay probably about 8-9 months ago.

Alas, I didn't win.

-thanks for refreshing my memory banks there Steven, this wasn't a commission after all, my friend/webmaster Ernest Vinson suggested that I put some pieces up on EBAY a while back-the "Maid of Might" here was one of those pieces-I acn't recall where she went to though....kids I'm tellin ya now, don't sniff glue or magic markers=you only have so many brain cells
Steve, I'm always available for commissions if your looking for anything in particular...just let me know.
