SF&F Picture 12 out of 27 by Christopher 'Topher' Allen Shepard.

SciFi and Fantasy Art: Chlorophys the Forest Elder

10s of thousands of years ago, there lived an ancient, but sophisticated, race of forest dwelling people that lived high above the earth. These people lived in gigantic trees that stretched 140 feet up into the air! These mighty trees were called 'Great Trees', and each tree had a tribal elder that passed down ancient knowledge and secrets to his/her chosen followers. Here is an example of ones such elder, a slighty eccentric fellow, named Chlorophys!
