Description I liked how this sketch came out so I decided to color it.

It's also another in my series of less misogynistic superhero drawing attempts--trying to draw Starfire as a power fantasy rather than as a sex object, while keeping inspiration from her classic first comic book costume design. Because while female superhero costumes are an issue, as much of an issue is the male gaze angles and impossible poses in which they're often drawn. So what happens if we take a design from the comics, make minor tweaks to make it more practical while still keeping the dynamic lines and visual, make her physical proportions more realistic, and draw her in a position of power? To do that, I used reference pictures of Serena Williams. This is also part of my continuing Starfire costume redesigns I've been doing for a while, though I think it's the first I've posted.
