Description
"Shepherd 'Shep' Henderson: She used a cat."
--Bell. Book and Candle
Screenplay by Daniel Taradash
I've expanded my literary series to include classic movies, since I'm a huge film buff and one of my favorite romantic comedies came to mind this week. Pyewacket is the name of the character Gillian Holroyd's cat whom she uses to cast a love spell on a publisher, Shep Henderson.
This is loosely based on the 1958 Columbia Pictures version of John Van Druten's play--though my image is not meant to resemble either of the actors. Where's the bell, you might wonder? On the typewriter (for those who are too young to remember such contraptions). : )

My background and the face of the pendant are fractals I created in ArtMatic Pro and my necklace is the first smart prop I've ever created using basic shapes in Poser. I realize the model is rough, but I'm still learning. Someday when I'm much better at basic modeling, texturing, and creating brushes, etc. I hope to add a few things to the free section here.
Tools used: Poser, Artmatic Pro, The Gimp
Thanks for looking and have a fun weekend!

Superb Cathy! Wonderful composition and artmatic is so cool too :))
Very nice scene. Great character, pose and lighting! Well done.
Ding! A fantastic return.... love it, Cathy. A very beautiful image. Nicely set up and composed. The lighting is friendly too. I like the girl, the cat and the posing. A very confident piece of work with very nice modeling additions.
Great looking scene, excellent piece of work.
absolutely delightful !!
This is fantastic, Cathy!It's got everything:Beautiful characters and posing, effective use of props, your own modeling, and the Gimp!!
Excellent composition and work my dear friend well done.
Cathy this is such a lovely image you created my friend. You did a splendid job of bringing this character from the movies to life :)
Beautiful image. I love the colors you've chosen and the lighting and poses are excellent. The fractal background is really well done and suits the subject perfectly.
awesome ... like the composition and the way it came alive from your imagination based on the movie!
it has a wonderful mood, cathy! only a few things, a proper light and voila, a delightful yet so thoughtful scene is there! i of course, love that typewriter a lot as well! i have a 50 years old Olympia Progress still functional! wonderfullly done :)
Absolutely gorgeous image you have crafted, my friend. I love the warm, deep richness of colors, the lovely characters, the sense of nostalgia and peaceful, quiet companionship shared by two close friends ... perfect! 10+
I don't remember the film, but I love the image; Gillian (yes? the woman?) is portrayed with relaxed confidence that she's doing just the right thing, the cat almost looks like a small tiger or cheetah (fierce though at rest), yes I definitely remember typewriters, and your background is a fascinating collection of visions & forms and almost a motherboard of spirit-circuits. It even weaves visionary shapes in the air, one very bell-like, and some like vault boxes in a bank...a very creative visualization of the film (which I remember only in snippets) and cloistered and like a place where someone could concoct spells if they wanted. And I like the cat's tail wrapping around the arm of the chair...Very finely done, all around, and fun to think about too...
excellent work ..I love the kitty!!!!
Love your narration and this image is wondeful!
Excellent ! Love the colors and designs !
Lovely work!
gorgeous comp and palette and bravo to you skill at blending mediums...bravo
Oh my gosh, I LOVED that film, with Kim Novack if I remember right. And the cat, Pyewacket, the minute I saw the title, I knew! I love the background you've created, and the medallion around Gillian's neck is fabulous! What a marvelous image, stands alone beautifully, or as a remembrance of the movie
I can easily see myself falling under the spell of that cat! Marvelous narration and illustration - great background. I'm a little surprised at the time-travel aspect - bar codes in 1958? :o)
LOL Good point, Faroutsider! There are a couple of things here that I may rethink on this image now that I've posted and received a couple of private suggestions. I am always open to suggestions and appreciate your eagle eye. I tend to use my gallery as a type of workshop--like a writer's workshop--where I can put my work out there and hope to receive feedback so I can improve my skills and/or get support to keep trying, or study people's reactions. Some of my images I improve, others I let go, and apply criticism to the next piece. This is one I'd like to stick with. So, thank you. : )
Excellent composition!!!Very complex scene and settings!!!
BEAUTIFUL SCENE ..EXCELLENT POSE AND LOVELY CREATURE..!!!
SPLENDID SCENE & BEAUTIFUL WORK :)
I'm not familiar with the movie, but I do like what you've done here. The composition is intricate and complex and I love the golden hues that dominate the background and lighting. Beautiful work!
I love this one, amazing background! FAV
