I'm a big fan of almost everything illustrator Alex Ross paints.
I say "almost everything" because, being an illustrator myself, I know that even the best of us can have bad days behind the drawing board...Alex Ross included! An example that immediately comes to mind is a series of Justice League posters Ross created for DC Comics a number of years back. Some of the character studies were spot on, while others were obviously phoned in. One of the worst was the Supergirl poster, looking so unlike what most people would picture for Supergirl, that I have to ask...
Is this Supergirl or legendary albino blues guitarist Johnny Winter?
And here I always thought she looked exactly like Carson from Queer Eye for the Straight Guy...

After doing a quick Google search, you're right! There's definitely a resemblance there, too.

It's still better than the jailbait Supergirl we've been getting for the last few years.
