Catwoman Cosplay Bimbofication

Cosplayer at a con becomes more and more like she’s part of the pοrn ripoff of her costume.

This was a lot of fun! Tested out some new brushes for a more textured look. I've also been experimenting with skipping pencils and going straight to inks, both to save time and to achieve looser, more lively lines. I'm very happy with the end result!

If you use photo reference in your work, I highly recommend VIShopper's Cut out people. It's a database of poses you can search through by gender, lighting, age, even activity and fashion style! It was invaluable in creating this piece. 

I settled on Catwoman pretty quickly. She's a popular, recognizable character who's always relevant, and has a simple, clean design. She's also gone through several iterations over the years, giving me the freedom to mix and match elements as needed.

I usually work out the two ends of a sequence first, before filling in the transition between them. For this piece, my original idea was to end with a soft catgirl, taking the Catwoman idea to its fetishistic extreme. I used the costume from the latest Batman movie as a starting point and even tried to sneak in a reference to the 2004 Halle Berry entry. 

However, the progression was choppy, while the constant mask changes made it hard to "recognize" each step as the same person. A series of distinct outfits works best when we're following a character through various life stages. For transformations that happen within a few minutes I prefer smoother transitions.

Additionally, the frilly catgirl finale didn't feel true to the patron request prompt: rather than a slutty version of her costume, it's a different one entirely. 

All this led me to rework the idea and resulted in the final sequence you see at the top.

Hope you like! ♥
