A picture I did contrasting the television Starfire with the comic book Starfire.  Poor TV Starfire is envious of her older, more well-endowed comic book self. 

I always loved the way George Perez designed and drew Starfire.  She was a wonderfully unique creature, ten kinds of sexy, but an innocent kind of sexy.  She was like your little sister, if you little sister happened to be a Playboy pinup.  And the way he drew her hair as this cascading mound of curls was magnificent.  It had to be a lot of work, but George Perez never seemed to shy away from such detail.  Bet his inkers loved him, though.

The way they draw her today is just a little more cynical.  She's like your little sister, but after she's had two failed marriages and a stint in rehab.
