Preferred Cheetah look - Barbara Edition

[Primal Slayer]

[Gaius]

A and F are pretty much identical save for the bead accessories, just 80s art vs. modern art.

Think I'll go with A followed by D.

And the braids! You cant forget the braids!

[SiegePerilous02]

The writing sucked, but I do love the addition of the braids and beads on F. So I voted that, followed by A and D

[HestiasHearth]

"Other" for me.
Alex Ross' Justice look for Priscilla Rich is still unsurpassed, imo. Visually striking, creepy AF, and scary, particularly in the context of how Miss Rich makes this costume

My second favorite is Kristen Wiig's Cheetah look in Wonder Woman 1984.
Least favorite is E: she looked like a Cheetah-cosplaying celebrity spokesperson for Fabletics women's sportswear or something.


ETA:
Oops.
"Barbara edition."
I guess I cannot read.

Well, my favorite Barbara Minerva Cheetah look is WW84's, closely followed by George Perez's.

[Psy-lock]

A, but with tear lines.

[The I.A.D.C.]

A for me. Perez nailed it.

Also agree 1,000% on the comment about Alex Ross's Priscilla Rich.
HATED E. That's when I started going, "Yeah, time to bring Priscilla back."

Honestly, same. I'm not obsessed with any of the comics versions, really. The closest would be C, because I do like Cheetah not being completely naked, but the pattern makes it look like she's wearing crotchless leggings which is just bizarre to me. So if I had to pick a comics version, I guess I would go with E just because she has clothes on.

But Kristen Wiig gets my vote, because even though she's naked, I love the overall aesthetic of her with the blonde slicked-back hair and the cheetah tearline patterns on her face. It really captures the essence of the character as a "Modern Day Medusa" (Marston's words).

For the record, though, Priscilla Rich from Justice is far and beyond the best Cheetah look of all time.

Oh yes, A is amazing. But C is my fave.... because that's the version who was Snapper Carr's girlfriend I guess D would be third for me.

I do agree C would be better if the placement of the spots was different.

I have seen drawings of Mafdet that depict her as having snakes in her hair. If they ever change it so that Mafdet curses/empowers Cheetah, maybe they can throw in a few snakes to drive home the Medusa comparison.

I think utilizing an Egyptian goddess and really emphasizing the Egyptian aesthetics would help sell Cheetah as being divine equivalent to Diana on a visual level.

[Stanlos]

A, B, or D for me with the assumption that A is the look of the Villain ehen she gor stuck in the demon dimension

[kcekada]

I'm not crazy about a single one -- even the Perez design. I did like Bronze Age Cheetah and GA Cheetah designs.

Under pressure, I'd go with F.

B and D are too ugly. C and E are too demure. A looks like polka-dot woman.

[Koriand'r]

I went with F too.

My favorite look for the Cheetah was Debbie Domaine's, followed closely by one I've never actually seen used, except by Dr. Cyber being funny.



The retro hair with the headband ears is super cute.

Feels like a modern take on Priscilla's costume.

Of those samples offered, I would honor the Perez design (A) but for her spots reading as too polka dot-y. So F gets my marker in this case.
Nice to see some appreciation of WW1984 Barbara Cheetah design.
