Today's post is a commission I finished yesterday, but it is being given as a gift and I wanted to make sure that recipient wouldn't be visiting this blog. I was assured that he/she wouldn't and I could post. But to be extra careful, I will not mention the name of the person who commissioned it. :) Before anyone else says it, yes, this is a variation of sorts of a previous Catwoman piece in that it features Catwoman stealing something. But I think enough of it is different to keep each piece unique.It was fun going through my DIANA PRINCE: WONDER WOMAN trade paperback for the Catwoman costume as it was drawn by Dick Giordano. That story was a fun cross over teaming up Catwoman with the then powerless Wonder Woman. Though this look for Catwoman isn't one of the more popular ones, I tend to like it. :)
This was done in mixed media on an 11" x 17" Canson Mi-Teintes Paper. And strangely this is the first Canson piece I have done since The Superman piece I did for Royce. I wonder what's up with that. :)

Nice! Classic costume and all.
Nice one, Gene! I like the dark paper too!
I remember an Irv Novick Batman story with that costume involving Catwoman and an all-girl mob with everyone wearing the same costume! I think Frank Robbins wrote the story...
Terrific work as always, Gene!
Great take on a classic costume sure to make the purrrr-fect gift!
Thanks Lan.
Thanks John. The darker paper is always a challenge. And just to make it even more interesting, I used the heavily textured side. :)
Hey Lud, I remember the cover to that one. There was also a Batman 100 pager that had her on the cover setting a tiger or two loose on Batman and I think Robin. Thanks!
Thanks Brian. As the Honorary Mayor of Gotham, your comments are held in high regard. :)
The texture on the Canson paper gives a real cool effect on the leg stockings! Love the coloring also! Well done Gene!

I didn't recognize this version of the costume at first, but then it slowly came back. That is the way of the ageing brain I think. Thanks for the memory "jog" Gene. I like the look tothis one very much!
Let's get with it guys....commission more Canson Cuties!! :)
