Scott spent a decade drawing the Man of Steel and childhood favourite Wonder Woman working with DC.
But at a time when billion-dollar tentpole movies have pushed superheroes into popular culture like never before, the Sydneysider has walked away from the genre in search of creative freedom.
It's not a decision she took lightly.
"Working at DC had been my goal when I decided to draw comics for a living. I wanted to not be bored drawing architecture," Scott told AAP.
She got her break at DC when writer Greg Rucka, a multiple Eisner winner (comics' equivalent of the Oscars) came across some portfolio pages she had crafted from one of his Wonder Woman scripts.
"Creator-owned properties, because they're not trying to go on and on and on for seven decades like superheroes can, they end up having quite a decent shelf life," Scott said.
"They can stay in the bookshelves and be relevant for a long time to come."
