i know its a bit loose, tried to keep the detail but cut down on time, give it an illustraty feel (that a word?), no refs used which is why some things look a little screwy, finished it a few weeks ago, kind of sat on my hd since, not really sure if i want to take it any further but thought i'd post it as i don't post much of my finished stuff

really nice indeed -- there is just a light source that I dont understand, perhaps you can explain what is behind the horizontal tree.

Above the tree there is a line (horizontal) of light just above the log. It makes it seem as if there is some else glowing behind the log.

With no ref this is an amazing ilustration

thanks man, that was where i amended the lighting thought i had it on another layer so i added the light beams and the resulting light on the log, with a huge airbrush, thinking i'd erase the top half, only i had done it on the base layer, plus, to compound things hehe, i'd saved, closed, re-opened it before noticing it, just kind of hoped it'd go away rather than work on it again
