Tough, but I think I'd go with Terry Dodson. Its my personal "definitive" WW.
Just dayum. Exotic, beautiful, strong, just plain hot rolled all into one.

Oh, i thought it meant the overall artist... ya know, the entire Wonder Woman book i didn't realize it meant just Wonder Woman. I don't know if that's the basis.
I wanna ditch the logical... don't let me let you go...., living for the only thing i know, hanging by a moment... nom nom coffee nom nom tea.
Jimenez, Perez and Chiang ... And the original work from Peters must be mentioned
^ Trade Nicola Scott for Terry Dodson. I love Nicola's art in general, but facially her Wonder Woman can be hit or miss sometimes. Not that I don't hate the masculine jawline in the above Terry Dodson pic, but he made up for it by designing the perfect WW costume.
If we're considering Adam Hughes, then we should also consider Brian Bolland.

*drools* The one of (what I assume is) the Invisible Plane flying over Paradise Island is great too. Paquette is already one of my favorite WW artists just from these sneak peaks. The more I learn of Earth One, the more I wish Morrison had been in charge of the New 52 Wonder Woman.
Perez, Jimenez, Chiang and Dodson are favorites as well. Dodson is the only reason I even hold on to the Heinberg run. That image of WW surrounded by all her foes is one of my favorites.
I was looking at Paquette's earlier work and he wasnt this good at first. He's come a long, long way. Apart from all the panel work that he manages to do even on monthly books like Swamp Thing, i just admire the realism of the poses and the movement they convey. With all due respect, but all these artists of the Jim Lee school, artists like Daniel, Finch, etc, they just draw a person posing like how Schwargenegger would pose for his muscle tournaments. You never feel that they're actually moving, more like standing mid air pumping their muscles. It's 2014 and Daniel cant draw a proper crotch, and like Liefeld, he cant draw a proper hand holding an object.
I guess i didnt need to go on this rant, but it grinds my gears when DC keeps calling these guys "superstar artists". If they are superstar artists, then people like Paquette and Williams are Michelangelo.
Looks like the poll is now open.

I'd say they shouldn't consider Adam Hughes since he only did covers and those origin pages, but they included Garcia Lopez and Bolland...
When Paquette drew some issues (or one issue) of WW, it was quite bad. Now he's awesome.
Woah woah, no Nicola Scott?
Kinda of an oversight imo.
Oh well, since my number 1 choice is gone, I'll come back later~ They might add her then, if they don't then I'll vote for Cliff Chaing
Another glaring omission is Tony Daniel. He was on Superman/Wonder Woman for nearly a year plus he drew the Justice League arc that introduced the New 52 Cheetah which heavily focused on Diana.
