Love tree

You remember that old tree sketch I posted ages ago in the traditional art forum? Maybe not, but today I found the painting that I never finished. So I finished it. :) Or at least it feels finished to me. But c+c is welcome.
And yes, the letters are the initials of my girlfriend and me, tihi!

By some reason the original isn't in a very high resolution (1821x2424, 600 dpi), so I don't know how big this will be if I print it.. But I can always redo it in a bigger resolution since I have the sketch in huuuuuge format from my dad's work's scanner. Maybe this could be a birthday gift for my gf? :/

Edit: Fixed the resolution. It's now in A3. :P

I remember the sketch :) That's wicked man, i can imagine the tree groaning in the fog. I love the detail on the trunk. And the grass around it looks really good aswell :) If anything, all i would say, is that you should be able to see the other trees really faintly, behind the main tree, but up high. As you can see them at the sides.

Nice work dude :D

- And i think this would be a lush birthday gift, if only you could somehow emphasise that it's for her, without making it look fake and weird ( the heart ). You could make it glow the same colour as the *fairies?* . as if shining from the centre of the tree... but i dunno ;)

Thanks for the comment. Yeah, I could probably put some tree silhouettes (how the HELL do you spell that word?!?!) behind the big tree. Could add some more depth perhaps. :]

You spelt it correctly :D and yeah, that'd just make it seem a little more realistic, as you have the silhouttes for those trees at the sides, just not ontop :D

Updated it. I'm still working hard on this one, trying to get new ideas.. I can work on this till 1st of october, so I don't have to rush really. :P

Any more comments?

So..uhh..well..constructive criticism..hmm...well...the th-..no...what abou-...no, that's fine...oh! I got it. You need t-...no, that's good too. Great job. The only things I can make are clustered blurbs of nonsense.

Lol. XD

And as soon as I figure out what XD means, I'll beat you up for calling me names. Grr...

It's just a smiley, dude. :P Like :D but with eyes shut, get it? ;]

^lol


Dude that piece is awesome. I love the colors and the detail.

Thanks! :) Any more comments? I'm thinking of adding a painting of Anna (like a small supercute version), watching the inscription on the tree. Sounds like good idea? Or bad? :P Could be pretty tough since I'm not too used with painting with tablet. :S

Damn thats very nice, I love it, simply love it, cannot find anything wrong and you chose a good colour scheme too. Can't wait for your next one.

ya, its a very slick picture. do you tihnk you could make it more "mystical/enchanted"? im a sucker for those look. but its really very good now, i have no crits. as for the painting, what do you have to lose? :)

Thanks guys! :) I'll see if I can improve any details, then I'll have it printed in A3.

Love it! Im glad to see something different from you! I remember that sketch too! ;]

Good stuff. Can I see the bigger size, PLS!?! Muah! xD

I can't upload the bigger size, it's too big. :P Has anyone got ideas for this one? If I could add something? Or should I keep it as it is?

How big is the bigger size, I can host it if you like.

It's just 5,7 mb, JPG.

Very nice Rabbi-shund :) Indeed, painting people is focking hard but that would be a nifty idea. muha

I have one little criticism for ya.... the orb is bright sure, when it's near the tree shouldn't the light uh 'reflected' off of the wood be more intense? It's hard to put into words :)

very pretty <3 i love all the little details

Thanks!

Shurai: Thanks for the comment! I'll see if it gets better with stronger light on the tree. :)

Send me teh jpg on msn. I'll put it on the web for you.

Ok, thanks. :)

I could host it as well. I think painting the painting Anna idea is great... Hmmm... And I also think the A+M and heart should stand out more, perhaps a glow...
But wow that's incredible, wouldn't mind having it on my wall o.O

Thanks for the comment! :)
