What Lies Between the Lines...What Lies Between the Lines...

They don't tell you about the nights when you'll cry; when you'll curse and rave and throw wadded up tissues at the monitor. They don't tell you about the number of times you'll want to throw your pencil or brush or tablet pen in the garbage disposal and flip the switch.

They don't tell you about the time spent painting insane detail onto tiny things that no one will ever see, ever appreciate, ever understand except to say "nice" or "pretty" or "wow"--none of which ever come close to how you felt when you painted it.

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!
