Poison Ivy is one of my favorite Batman villains. I thought she would make a great final submission for the_soup's challenge. I wanted to combine the things that I had experimented with on my other female skins into as realistic a human skin as possible.
- hair illusion used to disguise blocky arms and create the appearance of a neck
- hair designed to look like vines
- hue-shifted clothing palette to cooler colors because she is evil (or at least misunderstood...)
- skin tones designed for realistic skinning look on face and upper body
- hint of cheekbones
I tried to add a wrist-mounted crossbow but it was too out of proportion to look good.
My reference is in the center, my unshaded concept on the left, and the finished product on the right.
