FULL VIEW PLEASE!!!

Well, this is my entry for Saimain's contest [link] First off there is so much more I wanted to do with this drawing, but alas the deadline has caught up to me once again. I will go back and add more detail later

I went for a bit of a different approach on this one and wanted to reflect how the forest brought Faeren back to life, while at the same time bringing him back it also revived the life that for so long had lain dormant in the forest itself.

I'm not sure if it was just me, since I am extremely new to ditigal art, but this took a long, long time to complete. This is only the ninth or so drawing I've colored with Photoshop and I can't imagine how long it takes some of you amazing artists out there to finish one piece of art.

Please do not take this image or use the character in any of your art unless permitted to do so. This character belongs to Adele Lorienne, all rights belong to her!!

I hope you guys enjoy this!!! It was tremendous fun and I learned so much from painting it.

Good Luck to everyone who entered!!! They look amazing!

EDIT: Wow, I am in utter shock!! I was honored to have made it into the top fifteen, then to place fourth, I'm very surprised and flattered. Congratulations to Xiaocaca [link] Dianae [link] Emmil [link] and Gravik [link] Your entries are astonishing and each one of you shine as exceptional artist. Contrats to all who entered!! It was a wonderful contest full of many talented artists.
