Pharoah Bolding's Wonder Woman

Pharoah Bolding was one of the few who submitted to our War Machine contest, so it was great to see him come back with a new take on Wonder Woman.

Pharoah Bolding's Wonder Woman

"Her armor is influenced by the Greek warriors, from head to toe. I researched legitimate Greek armor and weaponry, making sure to stay away from the ridiculousness that is things like the over-the-top film 300. I focused on the way the armor plating was done for Greek warrior torsos and footwear as well as how their sword sheathes were affixed to said armor. I then made sure to incorporate classic Wonder Woman symbols and iconography - wrist bracelets, the familiar ‘eagle’ W, the stars, the Lasso of Truth - while putting together the armor. The result ended up being very nice in my opinion, giving the Greek armor a nice embellishment while staying true to both Greek warrior appearance and Diana’s Amazonian warrior background.

"For weaponry I, of course, utilized Wonder Woman’s Lasso of Truth, But I need a melee weapon for hand-to-hand combat. This is where the Greek Kopis came into play. It looks cool, really has that hack-and-slash effect, and really fit the 'no nonsense' vibe I was going for.

"I finished Diana off by making sure she looked dangerous and battle-ready, adding some scarring and wear and tear to her skin while ensuring she looked like she was ready for battle!"
