Description
All people say - by tradition- that The Cheetah is the greatest foe of Wonder Woman, But Who's the Cheetah?a mentally sick rich girl with split personality?
a assassin for an evil cult?
the avatar of an old and savage god?
the director of a predatory company?
....maybe she's all of them, maybe underneath the fur only exist an evil and greedy woman called "The Cheetah".

Sabrina Ballesteros is a reference to Sebastian Ballesteros,the male Cheetah right?

A great addition to this line-up would be Formicida (
) and maybe even Harley Quinn just for the lulz.
I love this concept for a TV show, wish that it could go forward.

You're welcome.
The only problem I have with telling you that was that looking back now, I think that Formicida should have opened up the way to having Cheetah, Doctor Psycho, and all of the rest of Wonder Woman's rouge's gallery on the TV show.Β
Instead, they gave her shitty 'villains' that wouldn't have lasted page one of the comic book (plus, most of the bad guys and gals are people that could have been dealt with by the FBI, NSA and CIA [or DHS today])-Wonder Woman deals with the heavy stuff like Circe and Ares causing shit, or any of the plots in the comic books, not penny-ante crooks as shown on the TV show (this is the same problem I had with the Mission: Impossible show in its later seasons; the IMF faces off against...the Mob? Let the FBI or the Punisher do that [or his progenitorΒ The Executioner !])
As much as like liked the show when I was a kid, it doesn't work anymore for me now for what I've stated above, and I'd like to see your animated TV show get off the ground instead (perhaps in prime time on the CW for a full hour instead of a half?) Or on Cartoon Network in the standard half-hour format.

I totally agree about the TV Show, but Dude... I love camp, and Formicida is camp as camp itself!!

A mi me gusta la versiΓ³n actual, que en realidad es todas, es decir, es una criminal multi-identidades, por eso todas tiene la misma cara, jejejejeje.

I LOVE this.....all your designs are gorgeous and one thing I liked about Cheetah in the new 52 was the idea that all her separate identities over the years were just one person going by various names names and personas. Shows her cunningness and versatility and makes her seem more of an arch-nemesis because other superheroes have had a looooong history with their arch villain, it was them the whole time. I like Cheetah having various facets to her, that mystery, if you know what i mean.

I just love that idea too... Isn't great? I found it awesome, so that's the reason that all the cheetah identities share the very same face and body in the hope to set the idea, I'm happy and thankful about your comment... greetings from Mexico (^_^)

Very cool, man... VERY cool. The Cheetah is Diana's most recognizable foe but has never been quite as badass as Circe. Nevertheless, she's earned her spot in the scheme of things and it's nice to see someone actually put out some art that actually pays tribute to the various women (err... and man) who have taken up the mantle of Cheetah over the years.
Admittedly, Priscilla Rich was always the most laughable Cheetah. Her vanity was infamous and her costume was downright silly. While Diana was this amazing Amazon, she was always just this spoiled little dΓ©butante who got her panties in a twist because Wonder Woman was so beautiful. That said, I do like how you've reinvented her... or perhaps more accurately... updated her. I love her hairstyle. It's very pretty and I like the way in which her bangs sweep down to hide her eye as it visually signifies a lack of trustworthiness to her. That dress is gorgeous and I feel like it definitely pays homage to the era that Priscilla Rich came out of. That cocktail is a great punctuation mark to the overall look as well. Without even knowing her background, I'm sure a lot of people would be able to guess her backstory.
Deborah Domaine is by far the most underrated Cheetah. She had such a promising start and was unfortunately buried by the other storylines that happened. She was this great character who was an environmentalist. She had a lot of heart but was ultimately folded into doing evil. It showed the nastiness of the corruptive influence of malicious individuals. Her ties with the first Cheetah were also cool as it solidified her claim to the mantle. I always liked her long hair too with the Cheetah ears. It was very cute. Your design for her is quite different. The metallic bodysuit is interesting. It almost makes me imagine that she would be cybernetically enhanced as Cheetah which would be kind of cool. Not a huge fan of the mullet-looking hairstyle but otherwise she looks pretty great.
Barbra Minerva is my personal favourite Cheetah. She's an unabashed sociopath who possesses little to no remorse for her actions. She's fierce and 100% dangerous. I love her unpredictability as a character and her constant greed. I'm LOVING what you've done with her. The Indiana Jones look certainly agrees with her. I love the dog tags and the Lara Croft-esque belt. The black boots, top and gloves are nice touches as they reference the Cheetah colour scheme really well. IMO, Barbara stands out the most of the four Cheetahs you've drawn here. I just think the accessories tie everything together so well. Love.
Sabrina Ballesteros, huh? 
Lastly, there's the Cheetah look. I'm not a huge fan of Cheetah being just a woman in a costume since it's less menacing but I can appreciate the design you've come up with. The metallic elements hint at it being a costume that will provide protection against Wonder Woman. I really do like the tooth belt. That's pretty cool. The idea of a jacket on Cheetah is fairly unique and adds a sinister vibe to her for sure. The Cheetah head being more of a head is an interesting detail and is one that works to some degree. There's something almost regal about her. It suits the character.
Overall, you've done such a good job with these characters and I applaud you.

Very thankful, not just about the kinds words,is about for all the time that you spend writing them too, I'm really-really thankful... (^_^)
About "The Cheetah" and her evolution I'm agree from your first word to the last one, for me the greatest foe is Circe, but The Cheetah has everything for take the top of the ranking, she has to be totally sociopathic and merciless, smart and deadly, cold but ferocious, even more than Sabertooth from Marvel Comics.
And after your sensitive summary about Debbie Domaine I had to say that I want to correct my version, I feel a little ashamed of my take on her, I forget totally her environmentalist beginning and concentrate to much on try to enhance her above the fact that she was almost a victim of others evilness, so I make her like a cyber-ninja, a killer-agent for Kobra, not just a brainwashed minion... thanks for remind me her history so well.
About the style and characterization I'm really surprised, you take it all and catch all the influences in all the cases, you really don't missed any shot, You described it in better way than I could, again, very thankful.
After your detailed comment I feel the necessity to clarify the "Sabrina Ballesteros Case". As you correctly say she is a gender-twist for Sebastian Ballesteros, I take the "Geoff Johns" concept about that she is many of the multiple alias of one criminal woman, that is the cause all of them share the same face (however I don't share his idea of a lesser criminal before the metamorphosis on the Cheetah), so I draw her like a powerful and elegant latin woman, a kind of "evil" Paloma Picasso ([link] ).
Finally I love the Cheetah has a feral-being too, I realize that when I finished today this art and was confirmed after reading your comment, so maybe I wanted to maker her powerful and formidable just has a human woman, but.. hey, when the things come really nasty for her I want her to become the feline-beast menace that I enjoy so much in comics, so I decided to take on her one more time, this one, transformed in to her powerful feral mode.
Thank you again for all the points, for the summary, for the analysis and for the inspiration to draw more about this topic.

No problem! I enjoy writing comments for such great and inspired pieces such as this one.
I agree with your assessment of Cheetah. I like the idea of her being more extreme than Sabretooth. It certainly aligns with some interpretations of her and truly makes her into one powerful foe who cannot be ignored. I find that Wonder Woman has such amazing enemies and they don't really get the same spotlight as Superman or Batman's foes despite the fact that they're deadlier.
I'm very detail oriented and I do try to "analyse" works whenever I can. I like to pour over each piece and try not to leave anything out. I also enjoyed giving brief thoughts on each Cheetah.

NICE! it should be a real animated show! it really should!

I think the same... even with out my designs, hehehehehe, even if the executives fear a low rating they can produce a short season if they fear so much to produce a movie or a live-action-show.

i think it would work more has a trilogy of films or even a 12 episodes short show, like BAND OF BROTHER, or Masters Of Horror...something like that could 100% work!
and keep the good work!
