Description
Cut down from her stand, the tree weeps for her old life, unknowingly, her tears water a flower which blooms to a glow, and the tree knows she too, will grow again in time.I found an old diary of mine with a little sketch like this drawing and the words "let your tears be the rain which waters your soul" I didn't even remember drawing it, but it hit me hard when I found it. I've come really far, but my tree is still a sapling, and easily bent. I try and nourish it as best I can, and sometimes tears really can help
I didn't want her crying in this though, it's when she realises everything will be okay, because things grow anew. Must be 30+ hours work in this, though it was mostly done on one layer... Messed around with lots of brushes, was enjoyable to use texture
She is not an ent or a groot, or anything not from my imagination, she is a symbol, for things growing again
Peace, love and stripping back the bark,

It's good to come back to your art!
I love the story behind this picture too.
(She kind of reminds me of Groot from Guardians of the Galaxy)

I love pieces with a story and great lighting. You draw females wonderfully. The lighting really makes the piece more mystical and hopeful in the midst of the sombreness.

MajorTommy In reply to DestinyBlue [2014-12-16 07:54:44 +0000 UTC]
it's a little flashy, but it runs ok.
It seems to be missing a lot of features, but that's kind of expected, as this is just the first release. They have several more features that they plan on releasing very soon.
The one thing that I didn't like about it, was that when I was going through some deviations, I got to a point where there was no way to backtrack from the current deviation, to the screen that I was at, before. I read that someone else had the same issue, and I suspect that it's not a bug. I think that they designed it that way, to get you to keep going forward, instead of going back to where you've already seen. Not liking that part, much...
In general, I think it is going to be a pretty good app.
Now, as far as that awful new branding goes... D'oh! :/

I so much appreciate this picture and the message. Sometimes it's so easy to overlook that what's currently happening, even if it feels bad and makes us cry, can benefit us in the long run. Thanks for the perspective!
