This one started as a layer teaking session. After I found the image of the forest, the idea came to me and I spent the next 4 hours creating it.
I guess my inspiration here is just my enormus respect for trees. So many forest fires claim hundreds of acres of trees , living in oregon, you learn that some forest fires are just natural occurances. But most of those that become out of control are not. Although I know that the image looks a bit dark, as well it should, I must say that I do not believe trees can be in any way evil or malicious. However, I do belive that trees, being living beings, have their own...I guess the only word for it is spirit. And as anyone who has read a lot of folklore knows, spirits are generally vengeful by nature...in other words, If you killed them in life, they will hold a mean grudge .
Many thanks to photoshopgurus and prettbrush for their very helpful PS tutorials. If you need guidance in Photoshop, go see them.
So I guess thats it, if you took the time to read that whole thing....well then I guess you've gained a little more insight into who I am. Creepy, huh?
Lovely! The textures are well executed, it looks as if his skin is cracking off. Perhaps, for some final touch, you could soften the edges of the fire a bit. That flame looks familiar, btw, I think I may have used it once XD
I'd like to show you some awesome nature related work from more or less unknown artists which deserve more attention - this is a must see, you won't regret it!!!
Daily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it.
Each day we will feature 5 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article. In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community.
I'm a lover of visual impacts. I like brilliant colors and shapes. And I decided to collect a whole stack of deviations that reflect that taste. These pieces showcased below deserve every bit of publicity you can give them. x)P
