Just in a mood to do a 'version' of Dawnstar, the Legion of Superheros character. As the link above suggests, I depicted her here with blue eyes. In several comics that I have with her in them, the artists fluctuate back and forth between blue eyes and brown. As she and her people are displaced Native Americans, the most common eye color would be brown. But, in actuality, Native American eye color can very from as dark as solid black, to shades of brown, dark blue, green, and even violet. My grandmother (on my mother's side) were Native American. She had 18 siblings (no kidding), 2 of which, a brother, and a sister, had green eyes; and 3 others had hazel eyes. Just added that bit of info as I thought it was interesting. Hope you did too. thanks for checking out my version of Dawnstar!

excellent
Absolutely beautiful depiction of a, sadly, much overlooked heroine.
fave'd ... Blue eyes, brown eyes, any eyes are welcome highlights of this exquisite portrait of my favorite winged character. I'm thrilled by how you've chosen to depict her, with a pronounced Native American cast. The fringe that was so much a part of her look since she debuted with the Legion 33 years ago is mostly absent here, and it's a quite pleasant change. I've been partial to that fringe, but it never quite worked with a genuine, active interstellar-void traveler, as it'd get in her way. Here, the close-cropped leathers show much more of her heritage and remain visually compelling — you're drawn to look longer at her. The criss-cross panels are more straightforward and appropriate as well. I never was that fixed on her look having to be low-cut (or, let's face it, a "front window," more recently). You've added, instead, to the shoulders and legs that she shows, and that works better. More skin, yet less distracting. I haven't yet seen that stunning flying position for her, either. Believe me, folks, I KNOW whereof I speak. I'm probably the biggest Dawnstar fan of the past 20 years — the fellow who was for her first 15 told me so last night {g} — and my online and offline image collections bear me out. You'll be the demise of my monitor yet, amigo. I have four Grimslade works now elevated into desktop rotation on my new widescreen LCD. This is the best of them all. ... Damn! I don't get to make the first comment! It's the wordiest, though, you'll see in a while. Trust me. He deserves it.
Great looking character! Nice rendering. I remember the comic book character, too.

Nice incarnation of Dawnstar, I see she has reverted back to her native clothing style, although the shiny golden spandex does have it's merits...hehe ! Well done & ~Cheers~

I have to say Ray I love your version of her. You always put so much thought into the characters you bring to life. We also have members of the family on my Dad's side that are Native American.
