Description
Though leaves may drift from where they fall, we are all connected.I have seen a lot of people do fractal trees, here's my first attempt. I do not mean to necessarily imply "god" in this image/meaning, only whatever energy you feel "god" is--as it binds us all, whether we like it or not.
Enjoy!!

beautiful colours. love the symmetry to it. a calming effect. i do like the bit at the bottom of the picture- looks like some kind of alien craft almost. love the branching effect and great addition with the leaves

Haha an alien craft, you're crazy! I'm glad you like all the little pieces though.. I hoped they would be a nice touched but subtle enough to not be noticed by all

only the domed bit right at the bottom of the picture- there's just something alien about it. the rest of it does look like a big bushy tree

Not long really, but the story certainly evolved over time. I got the initial ideas at the beginning of 2005, didn't really write anything.. just pondered. I started to put thoughts into chapters around June/July 2005, here and there. I was done with the first book by March 2006, but had to put it all together, create the images for some chapters and everything else. So... err... probably 4-5mos of actual writing, given that I was going to school and working.
For the second book, once I actually start pounding out chapters, it will probably take 3-4mos

Hehe thanks (8__8)
It's funny, cause it is like exact opposite feeling of my last submission. You never know when I'll play it hard or play it soft
