This drawing is based on a pose I saw in an Aristocats production cel. In this drawing Duchess is on the roof top of Thomas O'Mally's place in Paris. She looks sad because she realizes that she'll have to leave her new found love to return to her beloved owner. I really love this pose. There's something about sad poses that really bring out the essence of a character. Duchess was colored with colored pencils and Paint Shop Pro 7 lighting effects. The background is a photograph of the Orion constellation that I darkened and colorized with Paint Shop Pro 7.
