💀 – Book Quote – Winter Growth

Today I’m starting a weekly book quote based on the previous book art image!

Which means we get a taste of Ivy Man from Fractured Skies (Distant Horizon #2) . . .

💀

The human-plant monster popped its shoulders, and then stretched its vine-and-bone arm toward a snowy mound. A wooden staff flew into the monster’s hand. It paused and examined the weapon: a long, straight piece of wood with a bleached skull strapped to its top.

I have been following your progress for some time now, Sapling.

💀 Book Art – Winter Growth

Book art time! 📚

💀 Winter Growth 🍃
Distant Horizon Universe

A monster made from vines kneels in a wintery forestscape with a staff topped with a skull.

Featuring: Ivy Man
Book: Fractured Skies (Distant Horizon #2)
Medium: Daz Studio 4.15 with Iray, and Photoshop CS5
Description: A portrait of Ivy Man, a monster who keeps himself alive (sort of) with his life-spirit powers and the use of his plant manipulation powers. After dying in a particularly dangerous mercenary mission, he created himself a body of vines, roots, and bones. Though a spirit now, he’s attached himself to the vines, which makes him rather difficult to kill. He makes his first appearance toward the end of Fractured Skies, when he uses telepathy powers to wreak havoc on Jenna’s team and try luring Jenna into his clutches. He has an unhealthy obsession with her after witnessing one of her first missions, and he continues to be a thorn in her (and pretty much everyone’s) side.
Here, we see him growing ivy in the dead of winter, carrying his staff with a human skull on top.
