Week sixty eight of Operation Graphite – theme: Realistic Heroine.

Shock - Desert Rat

Realistic – how do we define this when we’re making stylized images? Or, can they not be stylized at all? Is photo realism something that such a heavy word demands? If the eyes are too big or the proportions not right, do we miss the mark? A Realistic Heroine, certainly the antithesis of so many dumbĀ comics from the 90’s, must have depth, strength, and believability. In the end, maybe the look isn’t always the key determination, as realism goes deeper than the visage. But don’t let that be an excuse for ridicules poses and outfits.
