New Wonder Woman: Art of War Statues - designs by Cliff Chiang and Tony Daniel

I didn't notice how she is stepping out of the stand. She's not on the official pic.

With the exception of the sash, the Golden Eagle armor is all one color. It also has clean lines and a unified design aesthetic. The same can't be said for Chiang's. It's the tackiest armor she's ever worn.

You say that as if its a good thing. Have you ever walked out of the house wearing all one color: gold hat, gold shirt, gold pants, gold gloves, and gold boots? I'd assume not, as you'd look incredibly silly.

Plus, that "Golden Eagle" armor, as you call it makes her look like that giant chicken from Family Guy.

And there are really only three colors in the Chiang armor: red, blue, and gold. The same as her classic outfit. That "silver" people keep referring to is really just metal, probably iron.

It's called monochromatic and yeah I do it a lot. Mostly with black, but navy blue, white and khaki too.

The Chiang armor has a lot of gold, red, blue, black, silver(gray) it's shiny, it's matte, it's scalloped, it's dented, it's too much and her pigeon toed stance takes it all up to another level of tackiness.

Was it more than one article of clothing? Because the only way I'd see that working was if a person was simply wearing a dress. Or if it were all black, but black is not gold.

Well, a) that page is beautiful; and b) is it really any busier than this:



or this:



or, if we're going to compare it to past Wonder Woman get-ups, this:



The ancient Greeks and Romans obviously had to wear armor with a variety of different textures (scalloped, smooth, hard, malleable, etc.) because they were usually going off to war. Different textures meant different types of protection for different parts of the body. Breastplates were hard in order to protect the chest and heart by deflecting blows, while leather straps were used to protect the legs because they were able to absorb blows while not forcing the soldier to sacrifice mobility. Also, as you'll see, the ancient Greeks and Romans also wore an array of colors: black, red, white, gold, etc.

Also, hate on the Chiang's armor all you want, but that latter picture I posted pretty much proves that its definitely not the clunkiest or busiest armor that Wonder Woman has sported. If anything, Chiang essentially designed a typical Roman/Greek-style ancient armor for women, but used Wonder Woman's classic colors (and even the old eagle motif she once sported).

The Drew Johnson WW armor was far better visually than Chiang's. She has a sword, shield, gloves, spear, lasso, battle-ax, dagger, breastplate and helmet and still looks less busy and less weighed down than Chiang's.

Probably a long shot but does anyone else have the Chiang statue? I bought one yesterday and the blade has a cut right above the hilt. At first I thought it was there to make sure the blade doesn't bend (so it gives a little), but now I'm thinking it's defective. Can anyone confirm? Thanks.

That Tony Daniel statue is saying "The mace and the sword are NOT the deadliest weapons I wield..."

So I treated myself and got myself an early Birthday gift, the Cliff Change statue along with his actual original art (not a reproduction) he created for the sculptor to use as a reference for the design. I can not wait to get the two pieces framed and display them along with the statue!

4_Color_Image, cool! Really COOL !

I've been thinking of buying original art, and especially Chiang's. Love his art.

I truly wish they would adapt the Fabok design from Justice League into a statue.

No way! I've bought too many Wonder Woman statues as it is, I don't need the temptation

You really should if you enjoy the artist. I have purchased quite a few original pieces and have never been sorry I did. It is also a great way to support the artists... as artists.

Having only seen this now... this perhaps the first time I've seen a 'human being' where the body is only 1/3 of the individual's height and the legs make up the other 2/3's.

Regarding original art, been making the same considerations aswell... it's just bloody expensive.
