Description
Beware the Tree Shadows! Their camouflage is perfect when pressed flat against a tree, but as soon as it's prey is turned, it will break away from the tree, and then....who knows.

it's great, like some kind of wicked dream
and the tree has an eye... Anyway, this shadow looks very nice, like asking 'heeeey, maybe you know what time is it, my friend?' I'm enchanted by this .)

Hehe, well I might have to look into this idea; I know of a shop in central London that does that.

It's beautifuly composed with a cunning mixture of fluid curves & jaggedy spikes - a Conjuration of the atmosphereof the mythical Wildwood. The menacingly scratchity hands of the Tree Shadow remind me of those of the swamp hag (Meg was it?) in the 'Legend' film. Flea seems quite unconcerened - is he aware of what's going on, or is he just playing it cool?
It looks somewhat like a linocut/woodcut print, although from your 'Devious Info' I gather that you work with pen & ink......whatever, it's brillant -

Thanks very much!

Re. the trees - if they went for people it wouldn't be so much a case of "evil" as "justified vengance" considering what humans have done to them over the centuries...an eeksome thought.
You laughed at Tim Curry's DemonKing !?!?!? I was hiding behind the sofa. "I AM THE LORRRRD OF DAAARKNESS. LIGHT IS MY DESTROYER" - Exellent stuff! What a voice, What a line - it sounds like the intro of some full-on hardcore Death Metal

That's very true, trees deserve a bit of revenge.
Tim Curry in everything just makes me laugh - he's just so bizarre! He looks incredibly camp even as a demon king, I think. ;D I'm assuming you've seen the Rocky Horror Picture Show? I say no more.

i really love your style, so evocative and reminds me of stories that used to scare but intrigue me when i was little.

Thankyou very much, that's a nice thing to say - I loved creepy stories when I was a kid too; never one for gushy romantic stuff!

(Sorry, it takes me forever to thumb through my deviations)
Oooo. thats spooky, not even Flea suspects anything's awry! (I dig his bony fingers.)

Hehe, that's ok, it's nice to get a comment at any stage!

For some reason his head reminds me of Grievous' (there I go again, sorry) , but hey really like the Tree Shadows' design (the left hand looks like the Queen Alien's, two long fingers and the others short, brilliant stuff).
Heh there is Flea
Nice!

Hah, I think someone else commented on that too! Must have been a sub-concious thing after seeing Star Wars.

There's your mascot again - he's getting into a lot of trouble, isn't he?

He just likes to get in on every picture.

That hole in the tree looks like a great big eye! Is what my eyes are drawn to everytime I look at it! And so that monster coming out of it is like another head/body or something, all joined together (starting to sound like a boss now!). Very cool, I really like this, nice level of detail mixed with the bold. I think the tutors would have quite liked all this y'know

Maybe it is an eye.

really nice invert
ooh and hello to flea, ahem - kinda becoming like your own little game of 'wheres wally'

Cheers John! Hah, I think Flea is a lot easier to find than Wally though!

*Bows* Thankyou very much!

doing lots of neato work! how do you do the stencil look?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thanks! Actually, what I do is draw it all out, then colour it on computer or ink it in.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oh that's neat. Hehe stencils...yes, take time.

I really like this, the curve of the Tree Shadow as its pulling itself away from the tree, the tendrils still attatching it, and those claws look like they could, and indeed will, cause some serious damage! Haha, like the little mushrooms on the tree and - whats this?- is Flea someones pet?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ohno, Flea is no pet! Flea's one of those things that always ends up in photos - if there's a photo to be taken, he's there.

So, you think Liam Neeson is monstrous? And you're into that?

*Laughs* Quite the opposite! I think he's lovely.

Great! It makes me think of the second Tomb Raider film!

*Laughs* Oh I know the bit! Those shadow things that come out the rocks, hah! I hadn't thought of that before, but I can see the similarity. Thanks!

Beautiful work, I really like the amount of details you've put into it. And as some mentioned before, great use of negative space

Hehehe! Thankyou very much (drew this while watching Rob Roy! *laughs)

I agree with Korubin. Good negative space usage.

*Bows* Thankyou.

I've been interested in negative space since I first read Hellboy comics. Never intentionally put it to good use, though.

Yeah, like in a pantomime where you just wanna shout out "He's behind you!"
