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

You have a really beautiful message here and yet again the light in this picture is amazing. That sentence about the tears really got me, it helps me to see crying differently. I have cried more than possibly ever before in my life inside a month but now I kinda see the tears as "watering" my own story, not pathetic. So thank you for this piece.

Thank you! Best of luck with your piece, best thing I can suggest is doing studies of bark and trees so you know how they work

May I ask in what aspect? I don't know the character

CattieClaw In reply to DestinyBlue [2014-12-09 20:28:46 +0000 UTC]
Well Thalia was turned into a pine tree at the age of 12 because she was saving her friends. Later in the series she is brought back as a human but sadly she is troubled by her past. x
