Description
She heard the sound of a step and whirled from the open jewelry drawer to find herself face-to-face with the Dark Knight. "Bruce! What a pleasant surprise!" she moistened her lips suggestively. "I suppose you're going to try to stop me from taking these lovely baubles..."
"That," he began, "and warn you, Selina. I've just come from an interaction with the Joker." The Batman grimaced. "He escaped. As he left, he gave me a clear warning he would hurt those I care about if I didn't back off. I'm not going to back off."
"I'm touched," she purred, "but this kitten can take care of herself."
Molly's art notes: Set up and rendered with Poser 12.0.757 using Firefly. I went back to the older rendering engine because the Batman character doesn't want to render well in Superfly and it's idiosyncratic mesh and material was beyond my meager skills to update. It reminds me of how much different Firefly is from Superfly. Firefly requires a lot more thought about lights and shadows which can be ray-traced or depth-mapped, just for starters. That being said, after a bit of relearning, I think the picture came out rather well.
Catwoman is based on V4 with morphs and textures from Tempesta3d. Her purple outfit is from -Wartech- as is the Batman figure. The room is from TruForm. This is fan art and I make no claim to the characters which are the sole property of DC Comics and Warner Brothers. I won't get one red cent from this!

They should pay you for a great promotion--look how neat the shadows are!
MollyFootman
Thank you. The lamp was placed in that location by the content creator, TruForm and I decided to use it as my only light source in the room. I spent some time angling my camera and posing my characters to get those shadows so I'm delighted that they appeal to your eye! =)

Cats????... and not on the Roof Molly, it is better to have such conversations in a less dangerous place instead of sticking to a steep wall - smile !!!!
MollyFootman
Heh. Yeah, costumed super heroes are silly enough and the dramatic conversations? But, I love 'em and am glad you found the picture enough fun to comment on. Truth be known, I'm not much a comic book nerd but my husband is and I've come to enjoy the dark, almost tragic character of Bruce Wayne. Selina Kyle, the Catwoman? She's his match.

Seina is very self-concious :-) I would have been frightened. Very creative!

Selina Kyle, the Catwoman, is the ultimate liberated woman and she views herself as the equal (if not the superior) of any man, even the Batman. I'm not a big comic book nerd but I've always loved these characters.
Thank you, as always, my dear! I always look forward to your comments and also to your artwork. <3

I'm with perkins - the shadows are a big part of these scene. Makes it even, so well worth the work.
MollyFootman
Thank you, my dear. I fussed and tweaked quite a bit to get two distinct shadows. Getting them to have good contrast without being too dark is tricky with the old school Firefly rendering engine, too. I guess all the fuss was worth it as I've gotten good reviews! XD

Definitely gorgeous composition, outstanding atmosphere and lighting, brilliant awesome render.

I just love those shadows of the cat and the bat on the wall... excellent scene!
MollyFootman
Thank you, my dear. I worked hard to get those shadows as they are so you know I'm happy with that comment! XD

like every one else, I think those shadows on the wall are outstanding, very nice render and the city exterior works great to give it a night context
MollyFootman
Thanks Paul. I fiddled a bit to get the reflections on the window of the interior to be light enough to see that city background and your comment validates that the fiddling was worth the time I put into it! =) Most of my fiddling, reposing, repositioning the camera, etc. had to do with the shadows so I couldn't be more pleased by your comment!

LOL. Love it. Nice lighting and shadows
MollyFootman
Thank you, my dear! =)

One of my favorite comic book couples. I like the angle of the camera.
MollyFootman
Thank you, Majin! I love these characters, too. The camera angle was secondary to getting those shadows on the wall and it pleases me that you like the angle for itself. I was a little worried that it wasn't flattering to the characters, but... them SHADOWS! XD
