Description:
Inspired by a cunning criminal from the Power Ponies comic book series, Gabby asks Rarity to help design a "Cat Burglar" costume fit for a griffon. After taking a litany of measurements and figuring out how to improvise some wingholes, Rarity finishes the costume only a few days before the festivities. She even nails the cat-o-nine tail-whip the infamous burglar uses to fight her arch-nemesi, the Power Ponies. Excited to start one of her first Nightmare Night outings with a friend, Gabby struts into a spot of light provided by a streetlamp, showing off the design-accurate shiny latex suit. Here's hoping she can "steal" herself a bag full of treats!
Originally I was aiming for a more 'cute' kind of piece and I wanted to do a Catwoman theme, but halfway through the sketch I realized that Catwoman is... kind of designed like a dominatrix. Ha... haha. Dunno if the latex is suggestive at all, but I decided to label it as such just in case. It is rather tightly form-fitting, after all. I actually learned how whip braiding works by drawing Gabby's tail-whip, so... I guess I could probably actually make a whip? Missing the tools, of course, but I think I have the knowledge now, lol. Soo, as far as the whip part of her costume and its functionality? ||Yes, yes it does work. All 5 pieces snap when she brings her tail down and flexes it back up quickly. Don't want to be on the receiving end of that!||
Oh, also, this "Cat Burglar" character I'm referencing here has not actually appeared in any of the comics. I just wanted a legally distinct and punny Catwoman type of character to borrow a design from for Gabby's costume to make it more lore friendly. I think the name works well, yeah?
Anyways, that's all out of me for this awesome night. Happy Nightmare Night and Halloween once again! Keep it classy, ponefriends ;)
