Sin city is a big inspo for the overall vibe of her world but she takes after Marv big time

I love this movie so much, it's so fucken stylish. I haven't read the comics in forever but they look super cool, I should

The Question is genuinely the Genesis point for her, she exists because I wanted to make the question but a girl for a school writing project. She's evolved a lot past then but her design is like that because of this freak

Q (third strike) was more fuel to the fire really. Doubling down on the appeal of weird detectives with hidden/weird faces, plus his silence and pure brutality ruleeeee

The Dick Tracy movie was a big stylistic influence too. I just got blasted with fucked up detectives back to back for a while and it changed the way my brain works I think

Lastly, JOHN FUCKING JONES BABYYY

Specifically Absolute Martian Man hunter dude READ THAT SHIT IT RULES

I had already made and redesigned her when I read this but it's been a big inspiration to my art in general and her colors specifically. The way this comic draws and utilizes smoke in panel composition is amazing and really left a mark on me

Honorable Mentions:

Darkman-Darkman (Darkmans appearance mostly and the tone of the movie)

John Hartigan-Sin city (not as big as an inspo as Marv, but there's a specific line he says that is burnt into my brain that I hope to carry over to her(
