Gotham redux

My original characters give me so much grief. You either have cases like Sunshine, for whom I've never been able to come up with a design that actually works, or you have characters like Gotham, where you have one drawing that turned out perfect, and every attempt to repeat that success comes up looking mangled and awful by comparison.

So I finally got around to just redoing Gotham's design. I like these drawings a good deal less than the original, but at least it's a design I can repeat successfully. Besides a little tweaking here and there, I mostly tried to change her hairdo, hoping to make it resemble a three-cornered pirate hat a little. It wasn't terribly successful, but at least it looks distinctive, and certainly holds more authority than the previous one. See what you think.
