JFF - Tree Challenge

Once again, @Kim_Johnson brings us a challenge. This one is regarding trees, and I just so happened to be working on a tree piece, so I am up for a challenge…

#1 rough sketch

Actually, it isn't a tree at all... It is a gateway between our world and the fair realms, but it looks like a tree so I hope it still qualifies

Does my explanation confuse you? Perhaps if you see it in context below that might clear some things up...

  Okay, then it reads. I still think my explanation was pretty bad…

  Not so loud, or Kim will disqualify me from the challenge!

Want to hide a door in the forest? Make the door a tree…

See, it is a gateway. But this piece is going to need a lot of work before you see it again. I wouldn't have even posted it at all if it weren't for Kim and her pesky challenges. I am such a sucker for peer pressure

  All the cool kids were doing it, and I don’t have a strong personality so I just went along with the crowd…

it is still at the conceptual level, for the most part

Very creative sort of a tree lol

Fairytales have an internal logic that I try to represent in my work

It’s awesome and very interesting tree

I should like to introduce more trees into the background, go for a more woodsy vibe

Some trees have a spring coming up them and spewing out, you have a ram guy! Great work as always. I like how you caught the light in his eyes, and his skin looks like a photograph.

If you introduce or at least allow noise into an image, it usually reads as film grain

Very interesting, great work!

Alex Ledante says:

Hopefully I can come up with a decent resolution
