comics casting.
Jul. 22nd, 2004 08:09 pmYeah, yeah, we all know the fantasy casting occasionally gets trotted out, but...
I was flicking through Brian Bolland's work. Now go to his Wonder Woman covers, all of them things of beauty, but the last page, second to last drawing, where there's a fanboy sitting her knees. I automatically went 'If you want to draw Aeryn Sun properly, make her raise her eyebrow more.' And lo did it hit me. Perhaps because I've been watching to much Farscape, but c'mon. Claudia Black for the role of Diana, Princess of Themyscira. the line starts here.
You know you want to. Warrior through and through, tries not to be hot-headed about stuff, etc, etc. And dammit, she looks more Greek than Lynda Carter ever did....
