*SenshiStock held a 5th dA anniversary contest - In Perspective. Here is my entry, albeit REALLY cutting it close.

When I read the original post, I was struck by two thoughts on myself as an artist. The first is that I like to be closed inside my own thoughts (like a seed) and that art is like a garden: Things only grow if you tend to it regularly. I also always wanted to do a spirit tree - something that reflects me. `faestock 's beautiful pose for part one ([link] ) was the instant 'seed' for my idea to come forth and quite literally blossom. The fruits are all different ideas at different stages, all bright with the promise of creativity. I used the stock as a reference/guideline and adjusted some of the lighting and anatomy to reflect the piece and, well, me, a bit better (the original model is much more athletic than I!).
