Inspired by a walk on Mount Henry. I don't know what the birds are telling her, but I will one day ... in twenty years or so.
Thankyou to the moderator who approved this picture: firstly for pointing out the print in the corner that I (stupidly) forgot to edit out, and secondly for the little star in the corner. :)

That’s the second one I didn’t see was a mods!
Well it wasn’t when I first visited. Must have been something that caught the eye. The Omega sign on the tree, interesting detail as I said.

I don’t understand the fantasy element in it, but it’s a great picture! Ballpoint pen? Great use of one then.

Lovely concept with the tree and good job on all the textures and the composition. The only thing I can see that can be improved on are the hands and arms, but it’s nothing you wouldn’t pick up at some life classes or even by copying from pictures or photos. Also, normally I encourage people to colour their work, but in this case I think it looks better black and white.

It’s nice to see a depiction of a more subtle sort of fantasy with a hint of mystery and a feeling for the wonders of nature. ~@

Great detail on the tree. Must’ve taken ages to do that. The birds are cool, too.
