this is a GORGEOUS painting. wow. luscious use of light, those greens. and Poison Ivy, oh that flower in her rich red hair is perfect, also really pops. Poison Ivy, mm, she is as curvy as she should be - for some reason i can't look away from the fold of flesh on her side, there. and Batman's face - what little of it can be seen - that slight lift of his lip, unnghh. also on Ivy's hands and face - you render flesh so well.

<33 Thank you. I can't tell you how much I appreciate it.

wow!

[florence-craye.livejournal.com]

I love the texture here, and I agree- I keep going back to her waist. So sensual! I love this depiction of both of them. This is a Batman I can really get interested in!

Re: wow!

[kaptainsnot.livejournal.com]

Thanks! Her waist is probably my favorite part. ;)

[gardendoor.livejournal.com]

Wow, that is gorgeous! I love the fast, loose brushstrokes, they really capture the sense of struggle.

[kaptainsnot.livejournal.com]

Thanks a lot! I'm glad, as I think that's important -- I wanted it to be hot, but not overly romantic. The struggle is what makes things interesting.

Holy brushwork, Batman! (sorry, couldn't resist ;) Fabulous reds and greens and just wow!

[kaptainsnot.livejournal.com]

Thanks! :D

[echelon-ga-l.livejournal.com]

Awww Poison ! <3 She's brilliant on your picture, really sexy, seductive and I just can't help loving her.

[kaptainsnot.livejournal.com]

Thanks -- it wasn't too hard, they're a joy to paint.

[twinklepug.livejournal.com]

:D!!!! The colors are just WOW. Eye popping. Eye candy. Just YUM YUM YUM. ^_________^ Such an awesome picture my God. Her hands, her fleshy forearms and hips. The cascading hair. HIS cupid's bow! *___* Just fabulous job. LOVE IT.

[kaptainsnot.livejournal.com]

:D Thank you! Your feedback, it is amazing, delectable.

[froggie.livejournal.com]

Woah, this is AWESOME. I love your painterly approach, the looks on their faces, and the bright colors.

[kaptainsnot.livejournal.com]

Hey, thanks! I tried to walk the line between traditional painting and comic book art, and I'm glad you liked the results.

[bossymarmalade.livejournal.com]

SWEET. I love Ivy best when she's having her way with the Bat-boys. *g* And this is so gorgeous and glorious -- Bruce pulling back behind the mask and the bits of red reflected on his cowl -- but Ivy is the showstopper here. Her bright green costume and all that crimson-scarlet hair! I can't stop staring at it. And YES to her being fleshy like a hothouse flower. Astounding, cavernous work!

[kaptainsnot.livejournal.com]

Thanks! -- and yeah, I had no intention of making her anything more than typically angular, but this curvy silhouette fit her like a glove. Between you and me, I think Bats approves.

[coell.livejournal.com]

Ooooo... very sexy! ;-) Gorgeous colors!

[kaptainsnot.livejournal.com]

Thanks :p!

[tylercat.livejournal.com]

Oho, very nice. Absolutely luscious, all those curving lines and deeply saturated colors.

[kaptainsnot.livejournal.com]

Aw, thanks! :D

[sae.livejournal.com]

Eee! I love how ethereal Ivy looks in contrast to how grounded Bruce is, the colors, the shading, the expressions... I'm pretty much smitten :) Gorgeous piece.

[kaptainsnot.livejournal.com]

Thank you! Glad you liked. :)

[wellington.livejournal.com]

Oh wow, thank you so much! This is beautiful! I love the colors you used, the green is a different green than I'm used to seeing, it's so vibrant it really works. And ivy's hair is just gorgeous as are the vines. It's great how realistic she is in terms of her body structure and whatnot. The little details on Batman's costume are nice too, the utility belt, the bat on his chest, I really love that, it looks so natural and understated. Haha, and his curling lip and gritted teeth, just perfect. Thanks again! Have a wonderful holiday season and happy new year!

[kaptainsnot.livejournal.com]

Oh man I am very pleased that you liked it, and rest assured I had a good holiday -- I hope you did, too!

[pippins-nose.livejournal.com]

BWAHHH SO RAD. I wish I could be so free with painting!

[kaptainsnot.livejournal.com]

Aw thanks! Texture was pretty fun/a pain in the ass, but I guess it came out alright if I made it free looking. :D

[karasu-hime.livejournal.com]

Gorgeous! Love the color and love Poison Ivy's hair.
Yummy!

[kaptainsnot.livejournal.com]

Thanks! :)

[unithien-rerith.livejournal.com]

I know it's a word you've been getting a lot in the comments for this, but 'gorgeous' is really the most appropriate word. Stunning would be another. Fantastic job :)

[kaptainsnot.livejournal.com]

Ah, fantastic job on making me blush. Thank you!

[alouette-sparra.livejournal.com]

This is just indescribably lovely. The pose and angle are exceptional and a wonderful choice for the situation going on. All the little, subtle details, like the flower and the veins on the leaves, really make this piece.

[kaptainsnot.livejournal.com]

Thank you! I'm glad the details worked for you -- it's always hard for me to say "I'm done".

[kaiserkuchen.livejournal.com]

Oh wow, this is just LUSH and GORGEOUS ♥ Stunning use of colors, seriously *_*

[kaptainsnot.livejournal.com]

Aw thanks! Lush is a good word :).

[rasetsunyo.livejournal.com]

Oh this is so stunning and lush. Really appropriate, considering it's Ivy. I love her beautiful dainty hands!

[kaptainsnot.livejournal.com]

Thank you! I'm glad Ivy felt right to you, she went through a few phases. :P

[scribbleomania.livejournal.com]

I am in love with Ivy's hair. It's just perfect.

[kaptainsnot.livejournal.com]

Thanks! I've got to admit I'd kill to run my fingers through it. :D

[petronelle.livejournal.com]

Honestly *voluptuous* Ivy feels like she's going to haunt my dreams. This is all absolutely gorgeous. I love what you did to make the mask real in this dreamlike background.

(And, oh, IVY.)

[kaptainsnot.livejournal.com]

:D! Thank you so much, seriously.

[aurora]

Wow!!

[kaptainsnot.livejournal.com]

Hey thanks! :D

[thete1.livejournal.com]

OMFG. *STARE*

I --

Nngh. You --

Mask. Curve. Hair. Bondage --

I can *smell* the sex pollen and eet ees INTOXICATING. As Jack says, there's so much gorgeous in this picture that it's hard to know where to even *begin*. But. I love, love, LOVE Ivy's vintage look. She's *alluring* in that classic way that's both marvelously American and old-school. It *suits* her, and it makes me want to follow her *anywhere*. As Petra mentioned, the work you did to make the mask look realistic is *fabulous*. You made it look both frightening and practical, which is deeply impressive. The vines look *exactly* hardcore enough to provide effective bondage, and just -- mmmmmm.

The only thing I wasn't sure about is the green on Ivy herself, which seemed more paint-like than plant-like. Would you tell me what your philosophy was, there?

Anyway -- *incredible*. Thank you so much for sharing your talent.

[kaptainsnot.livejournal.com]

Wow, thanks a lot. I'm glad you like Ivy's style -- as I mentioned somewhere earlier, she went through a few incarnations before settling into this curvy persona. I wanted it all to be pretty erotic stuff, while still holding to the action comic way -- i.e., they still hate each other's guts.

As for her costume, I can see why you'd associate it with paint, though in my mind it's a second skin. Instead of covering her in things that evoke plants in and of themselves, such as leaves or botanical patterns, I wanted Ivy herself to be a flower, and the shock of red to sit like the petals on a, albeit rather curvy, stem. For all it is it might as well be body paint -- but in this case instead of recalling something artificial, it harks back to good old pigment, and a skin as taught as Ivy's own.

I'll probably be doing some more drawings --- hope the green is a taste best acquired? :D

[glockgal.livejournal.com]

Arrrrrr this is so hot in so many ways. That uptight pose of Batman's, yet there's that slight twist in his mouth, his oh-so-sensual mouth. Like he's trapped, but he kinda wants it. AND WHO CAN BLAME HIM. POISON IVY. God she's amazingly painted in this, she's a bombshell and everything Ivy should be - sexy, sensual and extremely freaky. I love love LOVE how you drew her tendrills of hair, love the soft yet distinct painterly style, love her hands, so hovering and poised, love how she herself is like a plant.

Ahhh. I think I need to go fan myself now. WHEW! HOTHOUSE.

[kaptainsnot.livejournal.com]

:D Well damn, thanks a lot -- I'm pretty pleased that you liked this, to be honest. And everything you mentioned hits the nail on my tingly pleasure sensor brain, so thanks again (for everything!).

[chen-san.livejournal.com]

Wow this looks absolutely amazing!

[kaptainsnot.livejournal.com]

Aw thanks! :D

[dramedy.livejournal.com]

I thought I commented on this, but apparently my retention skills have failed. I blame the AWESOMENESS of this art. It's so awesome, I forgot to comment! :D :D :D

AWESOME! :D :D I love it :D

[kaptainsnot.livejournal.com]

Hee, thanks a lot! ;D
