SixFanArts 2: Karen Starr (Patreon)
Content
The second SixFanArts was an odd one. First, I've only ever drawn Power Girl once. (For a recent commission, appearing here soon!) Second, "Karen Starr" is a tough nut to crack. When you think Clark Kent, Bruce Wayne, or Diana Prince a pretty clear image comes to your head. Power Girl, based on my experience with her in the pre-Flashpoint series by Amanda Conner and a quick google search, never seemed to quite commit to the secret identity thing like the other folks. Sometimes she'd have glasses, or put her already short hair up in a ponytail, but mostly Karen Starr just seemed to be Power Girl in regular clothes. (There was one image where "Karen Starr" has glasses, long red hair, and green eyes to boot, but I'm not sure where that fell in the timeline. It certainly seemed to be an anomaly.)
Anyway, I always picture Karen Star as powerful executive, so I decided to go with an 80's power suit look. I did the severe, slicked back look for her hair (which also makes it appear a little darker.) SInce the glasses seem to be an on again, off again thing, i gave her some sunglasses perched on her head. Add a suit that shows off her infamous figure and there we are. I guess since Karen Starr is not a familiar visual, I went with a female exec who a viewer could look at and connect to her more famous alter ego, which is of course ironic for a secret identity. What do you think?
