Art: Alex Danvers & Maggie Sawyer from Supergirl (femslash)

Hey all, I drew two awesome ladies from Supergirl today and thought I'd share. I haven't waxed poetic about Supergirl here before - but the show should be right up this comm's alley: loads and loads of awesome female characters: heroes, villains, best friends, sisters, daughters, yes and a lovely lesbian couple: Alex & Maggie.

Title: Alex&Maggie
Rating: G
Medium: pencil
Note: drawn from a screenshot from the series 2 finale (no spoilers though)

I really love especially how Alex is handled in the show - she's the title heroine's sister and their relationship always is the most important for Supergirl - even when love interests (later on) turn up. She doesn't start out as gay on the show, but more as "no time for relationships" and I liked how they handled her coming out in her thirties (and contrasted it with someone elses' experience).
