<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n\u201cWonder Woman is the perfect hero for our country\u2019s daughters to know that they can do anything they set their minds to. Jenny\u2019s artwork is an inspirational portrayal of the latest evolution of this iconic character\u201d says Carla Massmann, Portfolio Director of Comic Con Africa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the artwork Princess Diana is seen in profile firmly grasping the Sword of Athena, the golden Lasso of Truth bright at her hip, in her gritty red Amazonian battle armour. The illustration is arresting with its skilfully coloured points of luminous light that make the artwork gleam. Jenny was introduced to comics when she saw Adam Hughes\u2019 iconic covers of Wonder Woman on a family trip whilst in high school, and in that moment knew she had to be involved in the industry. She has now mastered the skill of creating arresting cover art.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Comic Con Africa team had an exclusive interview with Jenny for their CONversations with Comic Con series on their YouTube channel @ComicConAfricaOfficial in which Jenny discusses her approach to the poster. About the poster, Jenny says that \u201cI wanted it to be a really iconic, powerful, graceful Wonder Woman image\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Jenny began her career with covers for Hack\/Slash, Ghost, True Blood, I, Vampire, Gail Simone\u2019s Red Sonja, Tim Seeley\u2019s Revival, and Buffy. Horror is another favourite of hers. Her artwork is half traditional, half digital. She starts her linework with graphite on paper, followed by digital colouring that she carefully adjusts until she finds the exact look she is seeking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Jenny joins a list of venerable virtual comic book guests at Comic Con Africa\u2019s Online Con. Recently announced artists include Jim Zub, Dan Slott, Mark Brooks, and South African local Sean Izaakse. Also in attendance will be co-creator of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Kevin Eastman, not to mention film and series actors Tom Hopper of The Umbrella Academy and Jason David Frank of the Power Rangers, and WWE heavyweight Bret \u201cThe Hitman\u201d Hart.
