Cat and Mouse By Mro16

Art by  I'm posting this with the artist's permission.  Though it's been awhile!

Here it is in his profile:

 

First I have to apologize, I commissioned this for Superwomanmania.com's "I wish I was Kryptonian" contest, and it couldn't be posted until a certain date, and then I got side tracked by work and never posted it!

The idea for the contest was to take an established character and grant them the powers associated with Kryptonians (but not necessarily BE Kryptonians).

I was taken with what would happen if Catwoman were to suddenly be that powerful.  Hence, this image of Batman tired up with a metal bar and Catwoman taunting him.

And once i had that, I turned to Mro16 to realize it, He draws an awfully cute Catwoman.

The image didn't do well in the contest, it didn't have enough active use of powers (just the hints of it in the setup and background).  My only critique is I wish the vault door was more crushed up to indicate it was ripped off the hinges.

But for me, the selling point is Catwoman taunting Batman.  I just LOVE the expression on her face.  She steals the picture for me, and it's what I wanted, and why I commissioned the piece.  I'm super-happy with the results of the commission.  (And I'm not upset about it's placement in the contest, the critiques on it were fair, and the other entries were pretty awesome.  I commissioned something I wanted to see, not something exactly tuned to the contest and what the user's wanted to see. And at the end of the day, I think EVERYONE liked the image and it's sense of fun, they just voted for other things over it.)

I like this sort of thing, and if you do too, you should go on over to www.superwomenmania.com and join in the fun.  It's a remarkably nice place to chat, people are friendly and you don't have the flame wars that seem to infest a lot of the internet.  And lots of people who like various types of stories of strong women.  Yes, I fit right in over there.

As a bonus for waiting so long, the current contest was to write stories based off images, and a user on the site with the handle castor took up the challenge and wrote a nifty story "One Cold Night in Gotham".   You can see it here: www.superwomenmania.com/index.…  I'm not sure if that link works if you aren't a member, if not, there are story links down the side and you can find it there, those SHOULD work even if you aren't a member.  BUT, I'd have to say if you sort of like stories about Super Strong women (for whatever reason) you might want to think about joining and at least watching the discussions for a bit to see if you'd like to join in on the fun.

(The other entries are fun, so you should check out the images for the full contests AND the stories.)

Working with Mro16 is fun, and you can't argue with what you get back.  I STRONGLY urge you to go over to his gallery and look around for lots of images of incredibly sexy women -and- some other images too (he has one of Thor that i think is totally awesome)

Here are a few other things I've commissioned from him:

Anyway, I'm still trying to get some stories out that I've written.  Ultima III, i might have managed to get it to the point where I'm ok with it, and thus can edit it up to release it (still might be awhile), and a Wonder Girl Story that was weird for me to write.  I'm not really that into fan fiction, but it dove-tailed off Stealing Thunder and some ideas that sparked in my head.  It's probably the closest to being released, but I think it needs a major re-tune FIRST, and that means it'll also be a bit.  I'll see what I can do.

And of course, a story that I'm almost embarrassed to have written, so don't know if I'll release it.  But, I wrote it on the place, and it is... hm.  Uh.  Yeah.  I've not even read it since I wrote it.

I also have a few commissions floating around, I really need to figure out a few commissions and send those out.  Commissioning is still a bit hard for me lately, for some reason it takes more effort to figure out who/what where.
