Several days ago, you posted a picture of Catwoman dislocating both hips. I thought I’d try to redraw that. She is sorta twisty here, but I sincerely hope its better and the pose is still feasible.

One thing I didn’t like about the original is that I couldn’t tell exactly what she was doing. Her pose said she had just landed after a jump but dislocated both hips because she tried to land while doing the splits. The little skid effect near her feet and the movement of her hair and goggles indicated that she was sliding sideways, like someone had thrown her and she landed on her feet or like she suddenly stopped running in a certain direction. I had no context for which scenario was right, so I went with the sideways movement. I kinda wish I could see what the rest of the page looked like, but then I’d wind up redrawing the entire comic.

On a side note, I gave her costume seams because latex balloon-wrap is boring to draw, and, if no one noticed, the cat in the original could move through walls if it could jump out of the bottom of a pet carrier when the door is always on the side.

This is very excellent.  It also is a lot more clear on what’s happening than the original (I barely noticed the cat escaping in that panel) and still looks very action-y. :)
