Description
Cut down from her stand, the tree weeps for her old life, unknowingly, her tears water a flower which blooms to a glow, and the tree knows she too, will grow again in time.I found an old diary of mine with a little sketch like this drawing and the words "let your tears be the rain which waters your soul" I didn't even remember drawing it, but it hit me hard when I found it. I've come really far, but my tree is still a sapling, and easily bent. I try and nourish it as best I can, and sometimes tears really can help
I didn't want her crying in this though, it's when she realises everything will be okay, because things grow anew. Must be 30+ hours work in this, though it was mostly done on one layer... Messed around with lots of brushes, was enjoyable to use texture
She is not an ent or a groot, or anything not from my imagination, she is a symbol, for things growing again
Peace, love and stripping back the bark,
~Blue x

It's like you're soul, mind, body are being grown again, well that's what it's like to me anyways cause i've had a hard last 4-5 months and this painting has given me hope that it gets better.

So nice :3 much love for the drawing, thanks for it! She beautiful, love teh shadows and subtleties in her face; how smooth it is on the lighted side, the hint of rough bark on her forehead, how it almost seems like she's smiling...very beautiful picture

This reminds me of a lovely song I heard, once. It's by a user called Erutan something or other, and it immediately started playing in my head, when I saw this.
My favorite bit of the picture: those little, green sprouts growing from her chest.

This is beautiful 8D It reminds me of Holly Blacks Modern Faerie Tale books.
Lottsa crying in those. And faery metaphors for teenage angst. Yup, it fits. XD
But her face is pretty. It's hard to get subtle emotion into this kind of style. 8D

First, I juste love your art, because it REALLY well done of course, and I love the colours etc.
But I also wanted to say, that strangely, you emus me throught your art. Really. You are one of those (or the only one?) who can do that to me. Maybe because of the facial expressions of your characters, and also because of the messages you give. Anyway, the messages I see in it. Sometimes, negative messages, "depressing". But also positive messages, with a lot of hope. I hope you'll understand.
I don't comment a lot, but I had to. It's being a long tim since I know your work, and feel that, and I had to say it to you. I hope you'll see it. ^^
Good luck and Bravo!!!
(P.S : I'm French, so sorry if you don't understand... ^^)
