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?
