ivy

another submission to drawergeeks this week. this week’s topic was poison ivy. it doesn’t take much to get me to draw plants and a fetching redhead.

apparently my poison ivy is a naturist- which kinda makes sense, ya know? if you want, you can click HERE for another fancy, schmancy flash animation of the coloring progress.

    Mike, your style, your use of light, give these pieces a magical dream-like quality. The mood is fantastic, and the composition is beautiful. Poison Ivy as you’ve drawn her reminds me of Eve, except here she has that serpentine aspect too. Not that I knew Eve personally, but if she was anything like this, I doubt I could resist! :-)

    although I’m amazed with everything you draw, once in a while I’m absolutely blown away. This is beautiful, sexy and all the other adjectives that go alone with WOW. Great job big brother. I’m so jealous that you have a talent like this. I guess you got all the good genes and Jill and I are just good at making babies.LOL
