As the winter recedes to make way for spring, the trees come back to life....

I thought I could use my pen and ink skills to make a nifty detailed Ent or two (or in this case, a maple tree Ent with an oak in the background). Turned out very well, if I may say so m'self. I tried a different pen and ink style of making the sky (the horizontal lines). I left random gaps in the lines to give the impression of stars. I also had this spontaneous urge to give him a tail (which I did). o.O Looks goofy if ya ask me....

Pen and ink on Canson paper, July, 2004.

I have prints of this image available for purchase!  See my <a href="http://yorktown.as.arizona.edu/~ktyler/artworkprints.html">website</a> for more info!

Hello there *firstCommentDanceThingy* well. Who tells that ends stand on two roots and not on three? I don't think the tail looks goofy. But the ent looks really great, a bit like i'd imagine fangorn from the lotr. The sky is imho not that fitting, still a great piece of artwork

That's CRAZY detail! Wow! Very tree-like, and has an eerie air to it... Love the sillhouette!

Oh, that’s exactly how I pictured the Ents. They were my favorite part of the LOTR books! what an incredible amount of detail. You can tell you weren’t too "hasty" with this. 12

Makes me laugh a litle, in a good way. You just don’t see very many Tree Man anymore...
So eerie it’s cool!
