I had her completely in view, but found additional shading brought out a more dramatic feel. I wanted to make Poison Ivy SCARY instead of just sexy ...

I love it when people add this effect to her rather than simply making her a nice thing to look at. She IS scary, and she IS ruthless and she IS a serial killer, not a plaything. Very nice design and coloring. Everything looks great, especially in tern of the shading of the face
The shadowy, scary sense really elevates this character in my mind. Takes her to that level of the more ancient classics like Medusa, Hel, Lilith and others. That contrary combination of things very delicious and things very deadly all intermingled in one Femme fatale package. i think it also allows the Villainess to have a bit more fun seeing those curious, conflicted looks on the faces of her impending prey when they cannot settle on a course of bowing before her beguile or running as fast as they can the other way.
nice effects
