Hi everyone, this is my first post in this great forum. It's a girl turning into a tree , but I don't really know where to go from here. All c+c are very welcome, especially on what to do with the background...

Thanx!

[xmmx]

the girl is looking good but the tree part looks more like she has a cancerous growth on her leg. but i cant really think of how to fix that sorry

nice nipples btw

A girl turning into a tree. interesting. tell me more about this, so I can help. story, story

Background: I would choose a scene in the nature.
She is in the middle of a big green.
Some huge trees around her.
A forceful lightsource...and so on.

Could be cool.

I found this picture.

I think that the small part that is supposed to indicate what's going on doesn't cut it.
To show that there is a metamorphosis going on the pose should be static...both legs should be involved...and you should show more of them!?

Thanks for all replies! I know the problem with the tree, I think perhaps it looks too flat, and I'm not satisfied with the darkest part of it. Something to work on, definitely

I'm sorry to disappoint you, but this is just a project for my own pleassure, I don't have a great story behind it. I just try to study the human body and practising on doing a good composition. The background is the hardest part I think...

I've thought of making the background green and with big trees, but I think I want something a bit less predictable - though I don't know what that is... then it's hard

I think you're right about the static thing AndyT, but I like the pose, perhaps I can involve the right leg without changing the pose. How do you mean by "show more of them"?

[AndyT]

I thought it might help not to cut off the left leg. Maybe show how the body/tree ... stands on/is connected to ... the ground.

[edit]one more thing...the pose can look a lot like yours even if it is more static. Maybe this link helps?[/edit]
