"Valkyrie"

Graphite on 100 lb. Strathmore Bristol, 9 x 12.
I was tired of seeing MARVEL's character VALKYRIE look like someone grandmother, so I opted to make some changes in her costume. For one, I got rid of those sandals she had and gave her some that go up her thighs, then removed most of that black sweater-looking thing and gave her something both more reveling and gave her the hint that she must be dangerous because who'd dress like that unless she could kick your a@@ here to next week. Then I let down her hair (which was Marvel's ONLY thing tying her to anything Viking related) and then I gave her a sword that is actually based on a Viking sword instead of the boring middle European thing that showed no imagination whatsoever. Oh and I copyrighted the costume design so if Marvel likes it, they can give me a call. I figured it was about time she got a costume change :)
