Commission - Black Cat

This is another commission from ~Dhoomk22

I was asked to draw Spider-Man's sometime partner Black Cat similar to how I'd rendered her in a previous illustration (found here: [link]. For a character I actually quite like, I don't draw her nearly enough so I guess thanks are in order to ~Dhoomk22 for commissioning me to do so. Black Cat has really always been my only reason for checking out Spider-Man material as I find her vivacious and totally captivating. She's just fifty shades of fierce! Of course, I'm far from being an expert on the character since I have large holes in my knowledge of her and would like to read more but am never quite sure where I want to start. Still, I do like Black Cat quite a bit. My goal here was to keep Ms. Felicia Hardy looking like her usual stunning self and I really wanted to elongate her body in a way that would create interest as well as be a little different from the standard poses I do where every attractive heroine is standing with her legs out with one in a "high heel" pose. Something else I tried here was I went for a more magnetic colour scheme for the border in background in that it's fairly bright which contrasts her appearance. She's essentially black-and-white so I wanted to reference her icy blue eyes and plump pink lips in the background. Overall, I'm fairly pleased with how she came out.

Enjoy!
