because I couldn’t get the idea of La Femme Spectre Helen out of my head

notes, close-ups, and sketch under the cut!

i was talking w birdie about how we would reintroduce Helen from the Spectre 2001 timeline back into main GL comics, and we thought it’d be cool if Helen got her reality warping powers back and called herself La Femme Spectre (as a legacy thing, not bc she holds the Spectre, bc i’m think the actual Spectre is Jim Corrigan again rn and he’s also maybe at god level so he can’t be a main character???).

We were thinking smth, like, Monsieur Stigmonus is back and he’s trying to threaten the world so that Helen would remember the pre-Johns timeline and he could hasten the bad half of her destiny, and it turns out that Materna Minxx purposefully blocked Helen’s memories of that timeline because she didn’t want Helen to have those powers in the new timeline without the protection of Spectre Hal and is also maybe disguising herself as Janice Jordan.

ANYWAYS. Notes for my design of La Femme Spectre!Helen:

- i ofc wanted to take inspiration from both Hal’s “main” Spectre form and his La Femme Spectre variant, which is mainly shown here in the green cloak, the flame pin on her forehead, and the heart-shaped mask

- i also wanted to do a callback to Helen’s iconic nightgown from The Spectre 2001, so i HC that after she’s brought to the Geoff Johns timeline and forgot what happened in Spectre01, she still had that nightgown and could never let go of it even when she outgrew it, so she upcycled it into a cute dress. I also like to HC that Helen gets into fashion and textiles, so that also fits with that <3

- purple shoes and the insides of her pink dress to reference Materna’s influence on her

- I was waffling on what color to do for her pants and dress pockets since I wanted them to be the same color and landed on just keeping it white because I feel like it gives her the slightest bit of a ghostly vibe/edge

- light green bracelet to 1) remind u that she might be a teenager but she’s still a kid and 2) perhaps be a connection to her favorite uncle…

- also. Who is the letterer of the spectre01 i just wanna talk. that shit was genuinely the hardest part of drawing this, was copying the lettering for la femme spectre.

Here r some of the images i used as inspiration:

That last image is one that I got from my Helen Jordan civvies fashion pinterest board btw <3
