I like the character so much, I gave her a name beyond ‘The Maneki Neko Cat Girl’.
Meet Bo.
As for the drawing itself; the pose is inspired by an image I found while searching for possible pin-up poses to add to my ever-growing archive. Bo is loosely based on model Faye Reagan and Julianne Moore. The coloring style I experimented with is mostly freehand in Photoshop using a number of custom brushes of my own. Still experimenting to improve that skill.
I always wanted to do this pose for the difficulty of it. The shape of the thighs and knees when in this pose and angle create such an awkward shape it makes it a challenge to pull off which hopefully I did.
