This piece was definitely inspired by JG Jones’ cover from Final Crisis issue #3.
The face ended up looking similar to Katie Cassidy, who plays Laurel Lance (AKA Black Canary) in the tv series Arrow. I noticed it when I completed the work. The face is a composite from a base image of Adrianna Lima with obvious alterations.
I used quite a bit of the model’s hair this time, although altering it from dark to light. Although there’s my own flourish involved the basic shape is essentially the model’s hair, when in most cases I usually craft completely new hair from the base model.
