Violin Girl
I still haven't gotten around to reading The Umbrella Academy (though it caught me by surprise one day when I saw the cover with the violin girl sitting out on the new releases table at Barnes & Noble). I hear it's good, so I do plan on grabbing it eventually.

In case you haven't heard, it's also since been green-lighted to be made into a movie. Very curious how they will do the violin girl (who I've since discovered is actually called The White Violin, so I should probably start using that name). Will the strings still be just black lines painted on? Or will they try to create some sort of texture to them so they pop out (since adding texture has become the thing to do with comic characters in movies the last decade or so)?

Here are a few non-movie-related three dimensional takes on the character. Firstly, there are some PVC figures Dark Horse had on display during last summer's convention season:

There is also a special deluxe edition of the graphic novel that comes with a (slightly larger?) figurine of just violin gi-- The White Violin:





And lastly, a body paint photo shoot of a model who decided to dress up as the character (you can see the rest of her gallery here):
