Description Tund's houseplant ran away because its been feeling neglected, so now Tund is trying to convince it to come home. After all, the houseplant is his only friend so losing it would be devastating! He promises to feed it nutrient rich plant chow and read it a bedtime story every night. I wonder if the plant will accept this offer.Β

Fun story about this piece. I intended to do it traditionally with markers but I messed up the background. It was beyond repair using traditional methods, so I had to fix it digitally. Traditional media can be so unforgiving!

WAS TUND ABLE TO CONVINCE THE HOUSE PLANT TO RETURN?

The plant is pretty cool.
I like the smiley face that's on the pot.
It's a wonderful touch, and so is the purple.

Oh god, that makes me think of how many plants died under my hand. If they ever come back with a vengeance I'm screwed.

It's ok they'll just be ghosts and ghosts can't really do anything.Β

I guess a horror movie about plants ghosts would turn out pretty boringΒ

Man, if there were plants like this in our world I'd have dozens of them at home! Another great piece.

This piece has an almost surreal feel to it. Also I find it quite humorous. Plants walking and running away? Makes me think of Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2 (the movie). Though, the characters have absolutely no resemblance to the characters of that movie. It looks like a dragon, and Yoda... No, maybe something out of Harry Potter (which I am not familiar with so much). I would say the shorter one is a looks like a character out of the Hobbit (which I truly enjoyed reading).

He's a good friend (the one trying to convince the other to come back. The atmosphere and background (which is included in the former) helps give off the surreal feel about this piece. I also find the story behind this very touching, as when I was younger I only had one friend.

All in all, this is a great piece that touched my heart, and is definitely something to look at. Keep up the great work

You give the background and the atmosphere a high value.
I am sure, that has much potencial!

Sounds like the plant is in a good bargaining position. I bet it could get luxury artisan plant chow if it pressed its advantage.

I like the strong atmosphere of this scene. Tund looks like he's part plant himself, I wonder if they're related?

RustyCroutons In reply to FriendlyPineapple [2016-05-14 22:43:31 +0000 UTC]

It probably could! They might be related but neither knows their biological family, so the truth will never be known.Β

This picture was pretty funny to see, because I just got new pots for my babies (my plants) today.
I'd be very sad if they ran away from me.Β 

Their names areΒ 
Pibbles, Cinnamon Pants, Don Juan, Gretta, and Evelyn.Β 

I should try reading them bedtime stories.Β 

P.s., I'm a botany major...

Aww those are cute names! I've had houseplants in the past but they always die. Botany seems like a fun major I bet you get to study all kinds of interesting plants.Β

I really like the color scheme and the strokes for your shading add character. It's a very rich picture. Nice job.

This is both eerie and beautiful at the same time. It almost feels like artwork for a stop motion film
