the last couple of commissions from last month! the big tree in the full background commission was a challenge, but I really enjoyed figuring out the bark after I went looking for inspiration and rediscovered the backgrounds from the sword in the stone- I really like the distinct patches of colors and selective detailing in the trees:

I wanted to stick with cool colors like the night scenes in princess mononoke and totoro as you can see in the wip shots, but I had to add some warmth in the end... cool color schemes are a mystery to me...
