SciFi and Fantasy Art Mollusc Tree by Keith Thompson

Tag As FavoriteComment		This case of sorcerous artifice is one of many of its kind which dot the hills in this area. Originally a byproduct of alchemical study, the mollusc tree is now harvested for both medicinal and culinary applications. A rare mollusc is fished, and immersed in an amniotic solution within the bulb of a specially cultivated tree. The aging process is quite long and the mollusc actually lives in a torpor until its harvesting. Specific parts of the pickled mollusc meat are a much saught after delicacy, and the brine possesses a potent restorative effect when imbibed or applied as a salve. If the proper procedure is not followed, and the bulb split or tapped by a poacher, the mollusc will vicously attack, and soon drown, spoiling its meat. Animator's blue colerase pencil. Photoshop.

I have to agree with Zachariah up there. You, at the very least, should be drawing/writing entire D&D or some other fantasy world Manuals.

Things such as the Mollusc Tree are only creatable by those with insane minds. Please continue to be this awesome...

Also, I like that while the Squidy thing lies unmoving, the tree looks almost as if it is thrashing around...
