@Greenman:

but I'm fairly postive Penders is cribbing from Frank Cho with this picture

Hardly. That pic has been on display in my gallery for years, and was a pin-up I did at the request of writer Ron Fortier for the CAVEWOMAN series he was submitting some scripts to. I illustrated some female fantasy/superhero stories for the FLARE comic with Ron around the same time. Frank Cho was not an influence in any way on my work. While Robert McGuiness, FranK Frazetta, Dave Stevens and others would be bigger influences with regards to that piece, that is strictly 100% original. No cribbing from anyone.

Highly illogical. But fascinating!

Check out the tumblr, now everyone there is ripping apart Ken's Lara Su promo art

[Tylinos]

Speaking of which, the person that did that the first of the red-line critiques there of Ken's art to point out flaws in Julie-Su's anatomy and how to fix them? They landed an internship because of it.

By the way, for anyone who hasn't seen the critiques, here are the rest:

I have to admit, I do overall prefer the "after" look for Lien-Da in this image to Ken's original, though the face looks a bit squished.

Likewise, I prefer the "overhaul" look done here, which has a much better pose for Julie-Su than the original promo art pic:
