Super women and their super musculature

Check out this pic of Wonder Woman from Trinity #5:














Is it me, or are those muscles - especially those biceps - just a tad big, even for Wonder Woman? Granted, she's supposed to be strong, but she looks like she munches on steriod cereal for breakfast! If the question is "How musclebound can a woman look before it starts looking TOO musclebound?", then I think that this is the start of it.

I definitely would have to agree with your take on muscled ladies. I've run into that same problem with one of my characters and it's real easy to go overboard. One can argue that it's comics, you're supposed to go overboard. But the ladies are still supposed to look good. You don't want women too look like Michaelangelo's, muscled men with boobs.

Thanks, Nicholas. Maybe that particular artwork wouldn't be so bad if the inker hadn't defined WW's muscles so much. I'll see if my artist can tweak it in Photoshop to see how less definition would look. By the way, what character do you do? Oh, and thanks for being the first to comment on my blog! Now I'm official! :-)
