Description
Listen to this [link] to really put you in the mood
Courtesy of Zelda ReorchestratedThis is a relatively simple photo-manipulation I did in order to create a more realistic Great Deku Tree for my tabletop Zelda game. Technically, the one in the game is the same one as in The Wind Waker (and presumably the Deku Sapling from Ocarina of Time), but I never liked his WW design... too... Shrek-like. I wanted something more like the original Deku Tree, something that looked more like a wise, old forest deity.
Here's a link to the original image, taken by Tai Power Seeff: [link]

for some reason I can't help but hear the voice of treebeard as the deku tree as well.

Oh my god, I was thinking this was a photograph. Someone put it on pinterest and everyone could tell what it was, but nobody knew where it was from. That's really good!

Well technically it is still a photograph, just a manipulated one

Very neat. I can see this as being how the Deku Tree would look in real life!

Wow...! Very awesome, and original. May I ask how you did this (other than obvious photo manips. lol) and if I could add a few things, and submit it as a collab?

Thanks! For the most part I just changed the hue/contrast a bit, then used the clone tool and the healing tool to spread the desired textures, adding in darkened/lightened areas where needed. Really nothing much to it. But sure, go ahead! I'd like to see what you could do to enhance it. Let me know when you have something!

Awesome^^ Thank you, and that sounds quite clever. I sometimes forget about the clone tool and just use the spread tool.
And I likely won't be adding too much, but I hope you'll like what I do^^

if a great deku tree falls in the woods and no one is there to hear it does it make a sound?.....yes it does and there was someone there to hear it......the great deku tree itself!!!

Without a sense of scale here, he looks more like that tree out of RΓΆlli ...
Awesome still.

Damn Dude... Redwood tree... If the Great Deku Tree were to exist anywhere it'd be in Northern Cali for sure. That place is magical.

Amazing, and if you had a small child on the original you could have converted it into a kokiri or something! Anyway, this is really really cool!!

Actually, that wouldn't have been a bad idea! lol. I still would if I knew who it was so I wasn't just altering some kid's photo.

Yeah, that makes sense!
