Jen Bartel drawing Diana:
I wonder why they felt the need to give Diana strip of grey hair. Well obviously to show she's "aged" but still doesnt make sense since Hippolyta didnt get grey hair as she got older, or is a Zeus thing?
Traditionally, an Amazon retained their immortality and youth as long as they didn't leave the island. Diana renounced her immortality in leaving, but she aged much slower than normal folks... ( as shown in WW 300, as well as various appearances of Earth two's Diana in Infinity Inc)
These days, who the hell knows...lol
I'm still quite apathetic, truth to tell about FS and WW in general.
Only because DC has shown that they won't commit to giving WW the same top-tier treatment and investment that they continue to put into BM and SM.
No offense to the current creative team but...WW looks and reads like a B-list superhero when she's clearly A-list.

Alitha Martinez's Nubia for Future State:
Not bad actually as far "Wonder Woman with pants" designs go. Think I like it more than Yara's costume though the sleeves are odd.
I would like to see how the whole outfit looks, but I'm not hating it. I'm glad her hair is natural, and that they haven't gone with locks (only because most non-black artist don't know how to render them), but I wish it had more style and definition. And that one weird have half locked tendril hanging over her face is off-putting.
As for the lasso, I wish she had something else. Or at least a different color, especially since Donna don't have the silver (blue) lasso and Cassie don't have the red one.
Seeing all this art is making me really hope Yara and Nubia are main stays. Wonder Woman's family has been neglected for far too long and has been mainly white for longer.
Character designs for The Last Amazons:

Everyone she seems to know and love is dead, so that might be part of it.
I'm curious, do you partially prefer it because she's wearing pants ?
Not that I'm arguing against diversity, but it'd be nice to see Donna and Cassie used more too.
I love the designs, but are these supposed to be Amazons we know?
