Description This is a piece I contributed to a group show at Art Attack SF themed around, what else, but COMICS! With an exclamation point! POW! I wanted something a little different than what I normally do so I set about making more supernatural versions of Batman's most famous female foes. I have a much more in-depth description over on my tumblr , which you should follow .

I'm really happy with how it turned out. Ivy is my Earth mother goddess elfin she witch, Harley was going to go more zombie-ish but I ended up embracing more of her marionette/puppet harlequin side, and Catwoman was inspired by Egyptian statues of cats. I really think this version of her would look amazing as a real costume for her (a bit of Cass Cain's Batgirl up in that face) and I think I'm going to explore this look more for her. Let me know what you guys think! I'm a fool for critiques.

I dig these designs! Their inspiration and the thought that went in to them just makes them that much better. Ivy's hair/leaves make for a perfect backdrop.

I love your concept of Bastet!Selina. It's so much more artistic and original than the unzip-her-down-to-her-stomach and huge-ugly-goggles look that the comics seem to be going after.

I love your take on each of them! I think you should draw all of them again at least one more time!! I can't decide which one is my favorite because they're all so clever! I like how Ivy is nude, but less sexualized than I've ever seen her and she looks way more powerful here. I've always been a Harley fan and this zombie marionette thing is the coooolest idea ever. But that catwoman costume is so bad ass and gorgeous--the collar is perfect. Amazing job as usual! Definitely hope to see more of this

This is absolutely brilliant! I love how different these interpretations of the famous Gotham sirens is. Catwoman's is perfect beyond belief. Harley's is so different and yet still so her. And Ivy is amazing. I am stunned by this beautiful piece of art

astarayel [2013-08-19 00:07:53 +0000 UTC]

These are stunning. I definitely agree that the contrast between Ivy's sharp face/fingers and full figure is wonderful. And the marionette approach to Harley is brilliant. And to throw in Catwoman's Egyptian-inspired outtift is genius.


How can you critique something so perfect?!

I totally like the Β designs and truth be told Harley is scary just as she was supposed to be! I love the catwoman design and would like to see her more like this! Ivy is truly a mother nature, what she should have been instead of the supermodel green painted on (not that I hate her comic versions but yours make so much more sense)

Saryni-meriden [2013-08-18 22:31:29 +0000 UTC]

It's refreshing to see a take on Poison Ivy in which she looks so plausible; The full belly and soft arms soft arms look very realistic (and also make a great foul to her talon-like fingers and pointed chin). My one small critique would be that her face shape and facial features don't quite match up... as if her individual features were meant for a different angle.


Also, great Catwoman! Very cool to that you took inspiration from Bastet, the Egyptian cat goddess... it really adds to her air of mystery.

I hate when that happens! I've done so many pieces where there's one little thing off, but the rest is so perfect that I don't have the heart to scrap it (not saying your Ivy should be scrapped- just saying I get where you're coming from).
