  1. Right off the bat …. I love the hair. It’s like she’s a B.C. from a bygone era, Her face has that lok like back in the day someone like Audrey Hepburn would have played her. The sostume, from the belt …up, I enjoy a lot The rest I’m not feeling. The fishnets are always something any artist has a problem pulling off. They’re generally meant to be alluring, but more times than not it doesn’t come across that way The drawing itself is dynamite though.

    I hope someone scouting for new talent, snatches Joe up quick.

  2. The most fun thing about this Invitational is seeing what character comes next, and who is doing that character. This is a knock-out, Joe!

    I was not expecting this! Very nice work, love Quinones’s style. Chokers are fashionable too, I saw Wonder Woman wearing one the other day.

  4. Gorgeous work from Mr Joe. This was sorely missing from the Black Canary contest. It has a ‘definitive” feel about it the way it incorporates all the different BC costume motifs. Like the the puff sleeves from the eighties costume.

  5. HAPPY BIRTHDAY, JOE.

    A little more retro than I’d like, but I enjoy how it incorporates many elements of past costumes.

    I’d say this is one of the more successful ones so far!

  7. Easily THE best Black Canary I ever seen. Make this Canon. NOW!!!

    Great rewok of the Canary. Probably my favorite so far of this jam.

  9. Nice work, except for the sleeves. I understand that coloring them flat is supposed to be a graphical element, but to me it just seems odd and unfinished. Especially because most of the folds are simply off.
    I like the shading of the rest of the figure a lot, and the design is very classy.

    Always like joe’s stuff.

    And the group shot that’s developing looks just like a crazy comic I’d want to buy!

    Favourites so far are this one and the Batman.

  11. Nice! Not a whole lot different from the regular outfit, but a fine fine drawing!

  12. How about THAT!
