Artist's Comments

Mistletoe is a forest guardian (and fellow Capricorn), who enjoys long walks in the woods, snowy days, and seducing women lucky enough to get caught under his antlers. During the rest of the year, his tattoo changes to match the seasons, budding in spring, growing leaves throughout the summer, and shedding them in the fall.

Yes, the roots go down much farther than just his waistband.

Painted in just about a day and half in Painter IX.
I used two of the lovely ~LinzStock's images for reference: [link] and [link] (although really I only borrowed the pants and something of the angle of the face in the other).

Mistletoe by ~cwicseolfor is based on this image and won Third place in my Strange Sight Story Contest. Check it out!

He could keep me warm in all that snow. :giggle:

I like the tattoo. Do you plan on drawing him in the other seasons so we can see it change? Those lips are to die for. I certainly wouldn't mind getting caught under his antlers. :faint: I love mistletoe. I like the cardinal sitting on his antlers too. Great job on the background as well. :D
