Artist's Comments

May the Spirits always have friends to rely on…

I was working on this lion character-check out this picture which I used for a ref by *Sooper-Deviant [link]

And I thought of =AlectorFencer’s Plant Spirit!
Check her character out! He’s super cool! [link]

I thought man, the good old Plant Spirit might need a friend, being all alone in his woods. So I thought, maybe these two could be friends! :heart:

I was inspired by this writing from my 10 Minute Celtic Spirituality book:

Be a tree with roots reaching into the earth.
What kind of branches do you have?


I’d interpreted it as reach out and be a friend! :D

It was fun going all Art Nouveau on the left part of the composition. He has tree bark growing over the tops of his paws (helps him to camouflage a bit better^^) Autumn is here and leaves are changing, thus the title. XD Maybe one day I'll work on a more detailed version of this, and color something. Haven't done that for a long time!

I’d like to do more of this in the future, it was really calming. :heart:

Thanks very much for the comments!

Mediums used: HB 3B pencils on drawing paper, frame in ps.
