Another AU artwork of Barbara Gordon if she was hit by Chlorogene's plant mulch mutagen and transforms into a plant girl. This time, I took more notes on Barbara's civilian design and noticed that she has a band or bracelet on her right hand (and only her right hand). It becomes clear for me that it would dissolve but Barbara's ivy leaves would grow there to mimic her past normal life.
Other modifications include removing the shines in her eyes (and give her sclera a green tint) since Poison Ivy doesn't have shines in her inhuman green eyes. The hairstyle remains the same from the last one I made, and the leaf dress is mirrored from Poison Ivy's dress.
Right now, all these Barbara Ivy artwork are based off of screenshots from the shows just to get a good idea of how similar and yet different Barbara would look in comparison. One day, I'll get both her and Poison Ivy together interacting with each other, but I like how this one turned out.
@florietiae asked: ❝ you have a kind heart. i know you don't believe me, and you try to hide it behind a facade, but i know for a fact that you do, deep down. / ivybabs! ❞ ( in case you didn't know )
Red lips pulled back over teeth—half smile, half sneer, all false. It was the sort of soft words that felt more like a dig beneath once human roots ( once human, still all too human, what was the difference? ). An attempt at empathy, although not one as easily seen through as with doctors and other vigilantes. No, Batgirl seemed all too honest for that whole deal.
You save one little girl from a villain's clutches and suddenly it's a big deal.
"You're delusional." Her tone was deceptively easy, Ivy settling down on the edge of the rooftop beside the bat. Perhaps they weren't all unfit company. ( Note to self: never voice that. ) "Everybody has a line." A limit, a moral boundary they won't cross. Then, a huff. "Except the clown. Damn him." Then she was right back on track, leaning back on one hand and gazing out at the waters beyond the dreary city. "Me saving a child doesn't mean our morals align."
Amusement tugged at the corners of her lips. "Sorry if you were hoping I would join your little group. It's a bit too dramatic for my taste."
jsyk someone's cheating for ivy https://www.tumblr.com/ivybabs/713336740615733248/someones-cheating-in-the-polls-i-had-to-make?source=share
?? Why the fuck would someone do this it's a fun Tumblr poll
The person who said they were cheating is an anon, ain't much I can do about it. If the results end up being very close in Ivy's favor maybe I'll count it as a win for Trigon anyway. It sucks that someone would do that
An artwork from last year based on a hypothetical What-If scenario in The Batman (2004) that hasn't been truly explored
What if Barbara Gordon attempted to save Pamela Isley... and got hit by ChloroGene's mutagenic mulch along with her? Theoretically, she would be subjected to the same metamorphisis as her friend-turned-supervillain. It's a fan fiction idea that has only reached the beginning stage... but never the end. Like, what are the consequences for Babs to become half-plant/half-human? Would she continue allying with Pam in her crusade against plants, or would she oppose Poison Ivy and become a heroic superheroine with plant based powers?
The possibilities of this AU scenario are rich with potential. There needs to be more fan fictions... and fan art.
So here's my interpretation, which took inspiration from this artwork on Deviantart. I hope mine will inspire others.
Barbara really spent half of her introductory episode committing ecoterrorism with her girlfriend, and the other half waiting for Jim to tell her that Batman is her new stepdad.
I think my favourite batfamily member has to be Barbara. It’s something I’ve realised over the years, she’s the one I always want to include and write about. And I think this might be solely thanks to me growing up with The Batman 2004.

" Is that so ? " Ivy asked while she looked at the young women in front of her. A small smirk then formed on her lips. "Please tell me my pet, what do you think of when you think about me?" She asked while her eyes looked her up and down. "Don't leave anything out. I want to hear everything."
Ivy then moved closer to her, closing the gap between the two of them. "Do I make you feel weak when you think me?" Her fingers slowly moved up and down her chest.
