SciFi and Fantasy Art: Armtree

in artclass we were supposed to create all sorts of different trees with any materials. and one day i had this idea of a tree with branches of arms. thats how i made it. i thought i'd put a foot in there too which would make it more abstract somehow. i've also drawn some hands beeing born and other fighting with each other, or caressing each other.

pencils. (1999)

This is very cool! I drew something like this once...it was a tree with arms for branches but the trunk was made of rather agonized faces. I have to say yours is much less scary. Really nice!

:-) Stephanie S. K. Marbach replies: "is it the "tree spirit" picture of yours you mean? you've got some great work also2!"

Hi,

nice idea. I like the touch of surrealism of this picture. Seems like several souls are captured by the tree and they’re trying to escape know. I like.
At the other hand it it could be, that the different extremity are playing together. It looks to me playful.

:-) Stephanie S. K. Marbach replies: "hey lanfeust2 thanks for your lovely comment2 interesting idea of the many souls being kept inside the tree and trying to escape... and now that you say the word "playful" - it reminds ME of how lion babies play together and how harsh that looks... so you’re right with your suggestion, interesting2! thanks2"

:-) Stephanie S. K. Marbach replies: "...heaven? air? just streching? help? i don’t know... you tell me what’s in your mind2!!! would be interesting... thanks for your comment2"
