From new designs by Kate Beaton, Carly Monardo and Meredith Gran, here are the rolemodels we have all been waiting for:



Some more character design and a poster to be found at http://beatonna.livejournal.com/148564.html?page=3&cut_expand=1#cutid1
Comics Alliance has highlighted some Strong Female Characters fanart here: http://www.comicsalliance.com/2011/06/30/strong-female-characters-inspires-strong-female-fan-art-animt/

(And apologies if I muck this up in some way, it's my first post.)

I saw this on the site and wondered when someone would post it here.
Sad that this isn't that much of a stretch from what Strong Female Protagonists mean in the media. It's Strong (Female) Protagonists, not Strong Female (Protagonists).

I'm genuinely surprised it took as long as it did.

Really? So we are going to completely disregard comic book characters like Judo Girl, Batgirl (any of them), Star Girl, Finesse, Ultragirl, Firestar, or any of the other strong female characters, who look & act nothing like this? Or the fact the walking cliches are actually in the minority, not the majority.

I'm not offending by this web comic, i just find it stupid & actually see it creating a problem that doesn't really exist, rather then the intended intention of highlighting an actual problem.

I mean its so 80's social-marxism it hurts.

Eh. I get a chuckle or two from Kate Beaton. I'm just not as mega-crazy about her as most of the other s_ders seem to be.

Thanks for the link. I would definitely like to see more alternatives to the icky status quo, as opposed to just endless jokes about the status quo and how bad it sucks. :/

I was wondering when these were going to show up on here.

Is it sad that I appreciate the character design on these? Sure they are intentionally ridiculous but these designs are immediately recognizable with no overly distractig details.

I'm just sad that an over the top parody design set actually looks and works better from a design stand point than when the pros try to do it seriously (looking at you Reboot Harley Quiin)

The posturing... dear Gods, the posturing...

And favorite is probably "Weak Male Lead" because honestly, protagonist women be trippin' over the lamest asses in fiction (okay, and sometimes in RL, but we don't talk about that:P).

I love the "SEXISM IS OVER" gif that's on the original site, and it makes me so happy there's fanart of this. Because it's much easier to take as a parody than it is to see over and over in the serious media (not just comics - I'm looking at you Arkham City!)
