Description Yep, I fell for the disease, I think you should too,

for [link] <-- totem pole project. Yes.. I am hopeing to win that subscription but Im submitting early, wich meens someone will mow my lawn like a thicket of dead leaves.

Yes, the rules state not to be wider then 79 pixels, but further down in the comments someone asks a question reguarding width, the reply made me at least think that this is ok, as the top and bottom of the totem remain the set 79 pixels. If they dont accept it, Ill just have to deal.

Time taken? Longer then intended, It was almost done last night (2 hours), then I realized... I had only used the colors on the totem base, and not the pallet provided below, so I had to go back and add the colors I missed wich drastically helped with the lighting. Believe it or not, this started as an angel.. it ended up a dryad. Go figure.

Its also a self portrait, Im shy, and often depressed, People think Im pretty, but all my life Ive lived as the ugly duckling, Nude because of societys expetations that my personal life needent be private, and the eye, signifying the publics ever watchful eyes on everything I do. I love this piece.

The way you put emotion into pixels blows me away. I'll say it again. Holyshit. <33

This is exceptionally beautiful. Not only because it shows your great skills so well (I already know what freaking amazing pixel works you can do) but much more because of the personal background and the personal thoughts you put in. I think that what makes this piece really stand out - it's extremely skillfully done and full of thought. Absolutely great ^__^

A very fitting theme for this project. Looks like a dryad sad from her dying leaves. You always seem to capture a great emotion in your images. I wish you luck in this contest!

Omg gorgeous and with a wonderful explanation of the totem.. Incredibbbllee. Quite a powerful image. Hell of a lot better than I could do in 2 years lol, and I still wouldn't have an idea as great as yours....

Yeah I kind of said that wrong when I said "keep the width under 79 pixels"

I need a way to say "make sure the parts that are connecting to other totems stay 79 px"

say just that? You could make a little image like you did the totem with the tiny frail person in it *nods* put arrows pointing to the top and bottom?

This is very pretty... if you've ever seen the short animated film The Cathedral, by Jacek Dukaj, this peice reminds me of some of the statues from it.
Which is definately a compliment. :3

A weeping willow. Although her eyes are cast down, she keeps her head up. A most beautiful peice darlin'. I do hope it's accepted into the project, it would make a loverly addition.

Oooooh I love the depth you've used here - it is like your teardrop, but better imo. I like the hands and the way the brances blend into the pole. Bea-i-ful.

Once again I am amazed at how you create such a wonderful image using only different shades of one color, it is really spectacular... much like your teardrop one in that way *fav of course*
