Woodkeeper

Painted in Acrylics. During this assignment, the task was to create a original character and have a story or description to go along with it. This creature is half tree and half man, he helps protect and serves Mother Earth like a knight. The bark on his hands and face are the armor and shield him. I have been told that this looks similar to the Lord of the Rings tree creatures, but believe it or not at the time given this assignment, I never seen any of the Lord of the Rings movie's. After watching the movie I do see why people see the resemblance, but I think my looks very different from the movies, at least my creatures story is my own.
