Catvid: Floorsafe
The Cat-Tales Gallery Spotlight “3D week” began featuring a sassy ‘Catvid’ of Selina in action, as captured by a security camera (that she obviously knew was there) and stored on the Bat Computer for Batman’s private perusal and, eh, “further study” (grunt). We end the week same way with Catvid: Floorsafe. This time, I don’t think kitty knew the camera was there, however.
Enjoy it now before Bruce changes his passwords.
(Oh, and Dick & Tim? Grounded for life.)
Catwoman: Late Night Withdrawal
Selina Kyle isn’t an ordinary example of that well-loved sexy cat burglar trope. Let’s remember that she is one of the foremost art and jewel thieves in the world. Here she is doing what she does best in today’s Gallery Spotlight: Late Night Withdrawal
Batman and Catwoman: The Kiss (watercolor)
Day before yesterday, the Gallery Spotlight was Batman: Patrol. Yesterday was Catwoman: Kick Ass.
You had to know this was coming.
Catwoman by gaff1229
This is the same artist as yesterday’s featured Bat/Cat picture “Drop it” but a very different look on Selina. There’s an amazing angularity here. I love the way it leads your eye down the body and around the page. You see that a lot with curves and swishes (like her tail), but it’s a lot rarer with such angular lines. Very meow.
It’s those darn pearls again – Catwoman: Loot, another Anya Uribe winner from the fan art gallery.
Poor Selina had to do some things in String Theory that may be Standard Operating Procedure for a comic book crisis where the fabric of time-space is fraying and only the title character can stop it, but it’s not SOP for a catburglar and there’s no pretending it is. The crisis of infinite time-wimey peril it’s really, really not her thing, as this poser portrait in the 3D fan gallery (and her own in-story observation) illustrates.
I’m fairly sure this was the first of the parody motivation posters that became a staple in the Cat-Tales forum.
Dedicated to all those fanboys (and sadly a few fangirls) who bought into the idea that big tits meant shallow and sexist characterization and small tits, no matter how demeaning and insulting the portrayal, was brilliantly complex and a giant step forward for women in comics.
Not all the digital pieces in the gallery are Thundering Monkey’s Posers or Second-Life based. One reader made these marvelous Balent-style portraits in City of Heroes.
Artist Anya Uribe does these amazing, sensual curves that pull the eye through these wonderful compositions. Some of those compositions are very busy, some are elegantly simple, all have these soft colors and powerful lines that are just a wonder to me. There was a time when you looked at a comic page, and you could tell who drew it. Anya reminds me of that. Her pieces are instantly recognizable as hers, from voluptuous portraits like this to amusingly innocent chibis.
Did you know there is a Fan Art Gallery on the Cat-Tales site brimming with the most amazing images of Selina, Poison Ivy, Harley Quinn and the rest of the Cat-Tales characters?
No? Maybe because they were packed in a flash viewer that was very nice for its day but not suited to the ‘net of 2012. Now that each jewel in the gallery is properly displayed, I want to start showcasing them one by one.
Starting today with this Catwoman Watercolor from the solo gallery that might just be the most striking piece around. You cannot believe the little curling wisps of hair, the nuances of color and the effect of shimmering light. It’s simply gorgeous.
