Concept Art of a 'Fantasy' Wonder Woman you never knew

When J Michael Straczynski released the 'pants' WW, he also had another idea. So he reached out to the artist Colleen Doran for a different concept.

It didn't work out, but this is what it looks like:
Some time ago, after J Michael Straczynski’s new version of Wonder Woman was first released, JMS asked me to do some concept sketches for a more fantasy-oriented version of the character. I know this will set the internet into a tizzy, but this was more rumination than reality. I was not asked to draw a series, just to do some concept sketches. It is very unlikely any of these sketches will be used for anything. So whether you like ‘em or hate ‘em, be aware that concept sketches are meant for brainstorming, and we do not censor our brainstorms. You put it on the paper, then you draw something else.

 What do you think?

    Way too Pocahontas. The Gail Simone storyline where WW was in the fantasy world with Beowulf-- WW was decked out in some fantasy world versions of her costume that were amazing gorgeous.

    She looks like she would be a secondary character on She-Ra. Some of the designs looks more elemental or sorceress over warrior.

    Personally I adore them. I don't like the first one in the first sketch as much as the others, I little to flowing for my tastes. The others appear very space age and yet seem to invoke a feeling of ancient inspiration.

    I saw the whole Wonder Woman pilot online. You could see the ropes and all.
