This commission is based on old comic book cover where Bane is breaking Batman's spine [link]. The client wanted to see Bane breaking Catwoman's spine while Batman is lying on the ground with broken spine. I feel really bad for Catwoman
Strange idea. At first look, I thought it was Catwoman and Azrael, because of the metallic peices of the armor and the bright blue color of the costume.
I have seen your work before Candra and must say that the color and such is stunning, but the subject matter is beneath you.. This is deranged and feels like it is so negative in nature. If he has yet to pay you then I would take it as a loss and consider it better to not. Obviously the person who commissioned it needs mental help and counselling about violence toward women.
Batmans back is also broken so I don't see how this is necessarily about violence towards women. However as soon as I saw it I knew it wreaked 'fetish' and unsuprisingly the commissioner's favourites is full of shots of characters backs being broken. Male AND female, however. Violence is nothing new in erotica, so long as it stays in fantasy its not really something for the artist, or you, to worry about. I'm not saying I like the pictures concept but I wouldn't say kinky and weird was below =Candra either
It had to be female in this picture perhaps but he's got plenty of commissions/favourites that are batman only like the original, so I don't find it extra disturbing or anything...
I'm sorry for the situation.
