This image is one in a series I'm working on for an upcoming project. I recently posted the sketch for this painting here...so here's the finish. Photoshop 7

very nice mood ;p It's like "Where the Wild Things Are" meets "The Lorax". Killer killer stuff.

Oh nice! Those big leaves on top fit in a whole lot better now that youve colored em! nice goin!

I agree with Phuzion and Theo. This is pretty sick. ;)

I really like this piece. Not sure why. Perhaps it is the swirls and colors. Or perhaps it is the tree itself. But, whatever the reason, this is a really nice piece. Good work!

thanks for the comments guys

That wasn't what I was expecting to see when I read the title, but I think that's a great piece. The only thing I'd like to see is someone in the piece or something to indicate the scale and size of the tree.

But good job. I'd love to see more.

I really like this pic, its quite adventurous in its colour and exotic atmosphere. Really cool stuff!

One question though, is it meant to look like a skunk plant in places, with drops of crystalised THC?

Thanks again for all your comments everyone.

Monkeyburger: very very funny observation!...but, there wasn't meant to me any pot reference. However, thats a very unique and interesting take on the image. Thanks for your imagination
