Batgirl and Black Cat

 

Black Cat first met Batgirl with the Birds of Prey in STF #3029...

This cover required a bit of background repair before I could swap out a canary for a cat.  Here's a look at the behind the scenes progress:

Great work. I especially like changing the logos so each is above the character. Time for all feline team? Make sure Bronze Tiger is the lead.

Another great cover! Nicely done.

I agree with Me.* Have BT and BC team up against Dos Cheetahs (from STF #3699).



*Schizophrenic as that sounds.

So, it looks like Barbara's left leg is basically just the right one mirrored, and Felicia's pose covers up the seam and other telltales. Nice!

Getting the logos in the right relative spots is also a good touch, though I think that putting them in that order has a better feel in general.

(I'm still hoping we can one day have a team-up between Power Girl and Black Cat.)

I'd love to see that, too. Maybe with the motive being a joint retaliation against being sexually harassed by Deadpool and Foxbat!

@Bob: Yeah, now that I look closer, her leg seems to just disappear on the original cover. It looks like it should come down and place her foot right between Canary's feet, but there's nothing there. Weird, right? So based on that, I guess Ross's edit is actually an improvement!

The real hard part was the raindrops!

I always enjoy the behind-the-curtain looks - and this time, with Batgirl, I think you have actually improved on her appearance in the original. Hard to pin down why, but I'm sure the previous comments on logo and of course Ms BC herself, has something to do with it.

How about another pairing of Black Cat and Catwoman?

Carycomic said...

I'd settle for a Hardy family reunion (led by Felicia and her Uncle Ralph...aka the Jaguar).

Batgirl.. Being covered by B.C. is different. Hope Babs can really trust her. Love that blue lightning effect. When it snows and it is cold, does FH feel the cold?

Bob Greenwade said...

@Ben: The way I look at it, Batgirl's left foot (in the original) is directly behind Black Cat's.

@Cary: What if Felicia went back in time to meet her great-uncle Oliver?

Carycomic said...

Lol! That would be another fine mess you would've gotten her into.

;-D

@Bob Greenwade: No time traveling to meet up with Felicia’s nephews, the teenage detectives The Hardy Boys!

Carycomic said...

@Bobbo: Not even in a time machine built by Rick Brant or Tom SWift, Junior?

;-D
