I Did! I Did! I Did Taw A DuddKat!

Given that I've been practicing the whole Heroic Portrait thing on friends, it comes as no surprise that Kathleen was up next on the drawing board (which isn't much like the chopping block).
With a name like "Kat" and the fact that I went with a "Batman" theme with her husband's portrait, it seemed like a no-brainer to go with a "Catwoman" motif for her picture.
However, as I progressed on the picture I became aware of just how utterly wrong it was for me to be rendering Kathleen in a skintight latex catsuit (using Erica Durance as the reference model for the body), so I decided to scrap it and take a different tack.
Ultimately I decided that Looney was a much better choice than Creepy, and here we see the result of that approach:



It's worth noting, though, that I did give her a pretty respectable rack for a cartoon cat.
Beyond that, though, I think there is at least a slight resemblance, especially with the manicured nails and the pink cowboy hat...
