"I was trying to go with a more functional suit. For the most part I stayed true to this idea; when it came down to the boots I admit I got a bit whimsical. I gave her a low, wide heeled boot with old fashioned spats, and the telltale Black Cat fur. I wanted her to seem able to move lithely, like a cat. The mask was difficult; trying to design something catty without being Catwoman and not looking bat-like is difficult. The domino mask always bugged me because it didn't conceal anything. Also, I wanted her to have a satchel -- someplace to hold her ill-gotten gains and/or equipment."

I think Arlen's black cat is pretty sweet. i like how there is no question that this is the black cat and not catwoman.
ReplyDeletei like how marvel has blatently ripped off DC with this character. :-p let's see, a thrill seeking cat burgalar who fights the companies mainstream hero and then falls in love with them, dates and then decides to become a "good guy". truly unique to black cat..uuh..woman..? :-D
so yeah.....WOOOOHA!!!! go me!
please don't hate me for my self-agrandizing. XOXO
I think she looks like an early draft catwoman, and honestly much more interesting when coupled with your "story" so. . . I like it.
ReplyDeletewell thank oyou?
ReplyDeletethe "story" though is straight up both catwoman's and black cat's storyline in the comics.
Nice design! its definitely playing with all the elements available that make black cat iconic, so its very cool to see. : )
