I grew up on George Perez comics, namely the New Teen Titans "Judas Contract" arc. His art for female characters was so perfect that I remember tracing the figures of Starfire and Wonder Girl as superheroine templates, then assigning new costumes and characters to the outlines, and submitting the original characters to Dial H for Hero (none got accepted..I forgive you Marv and Carmine!). Fast forward ahead several decades, and Perez influenced me profoundly yet again, both by producing a prolific series of live-action superheroine videos (Sisterhood of Superheroines), and by publishing a comic series about a team of powerful female characters (Sirens). The live-action episodes and comic books that I create today exist largely because of George Perez, full stop. Hail to the master!
