Though I don't know how the Stranges will react when Adam has to wear the Nightwing costume. And Alanna the black halter top with the starfield pattern.

Date: 2010-05-14 04:13 am (UTC)This is probably just a pet peeve of mine as I draw women in adult comics, and try to work very hard(and, I think, only succeeding 5% of the time) to make sure my glamorization is plausible. Because otherwise it loses sexiness and becomes grotesque. And one of those peeves is when artists think breasts are globes, and completely forget (a)there's not a round hemisphere on top unless pushing up is involved(or implants) and (b)they're soft things with weight and they lay across the top of the chest. The bigger, the more they do.
And if you get that RIGHT, they achieve a look of making you want to touch them, and it's much hotter than if you just decide they're balloons. In other words, you get the effect you're actually going for. And Starfire is a chance for an artist to have fun with that.
BUT. No. These are balloons she's got there and thus it looks grotesque and not sexy, just kind of bland and unengaging.

Date: 2010-05-14 12:30 am (UTC)"HI I'M STARFIRE! ~twirls hair~ I LIKE BOYS! MATH IS HARD! WHO WANTS TO GO SAVE THE WORLD!? ~faux action pose~ ~giggle"
Now you can own your very own Starfire doll!
~little girl holds doll and laughs~
"Let's go save the world Starfire!"
Your Starfire doll comes with real "Set Feminism Back Fifty Years" action!
"ROBIN IS SOOOO DREAMY !"
Starfire! Now you can have your very own comic character that's perpetually stuck in 1978!
From Wham-O. The people that brought you "Frank Miller's Happy Funtime Prostitute Figure" and " Alan Moore with real incomprehensible babble action!

Date: 2010-05-14 04:05 am (UTC)Thing about that is, though, what does "empowerment" mean when a character can vaporize people by pointing at them, and is royalty? Seems to me she can act how she likes. A case could be made for her as post-feminist as well. Just because she's guy-crazy means squat, unless you also soon after see her cooking and cleaning for them too and letting them yell at her and smack her around. And besides: she's someone who's been enslaved, for real. Seems to me her idea of what is degrading and submissive would be on a whole other level than clothes and attitude. And it would be hard to describe Starfire as lacking in confidence, and she also comes from a world which is clothing-optional(a consequence, at least in her case, of drawing energy from light; she COULDN'T practically cover herself up).
Just some points I think could just as easily be argued. I'm not sure that the model of feminism you're describing here(by implication) is that relevant to her. And your point would hold up better were she typical of DC's women.

Date: 2010-05-14 04:11 am (UTC)Comet and her actually seems like a cute couple though and we know DC wouldn't kill Kory and Comet can't stay dead so we might just have a pairing not in danger of being killed.
