Wise Speaker

Part of my trade for of her character Ajaxz.

He's not actually part of a tree, but when I read his character description I instantly had this idea in my head.
And since it described him of loving nature, I decided to make him part of nature and to be coming out of a tree.

I also wanted to try something new with this piece. I wanted to make it realistic and give it a fantasy atmosphere, also I wanted to practice details on trees c:
So since I made Ajaxz part of nature in this piece, I tried making him blend with the theme of the picture.
An extremely large amount went into his antlers, I wanted to make them look like branches of a tree yet keep their own distinction they they are part of him C:

After the first trade I immediately started working on this one, on and off for the past 4 days. I would say probably around 6-7 hours total?
There was more I thought about adding but I didn't want to overdo it and make the piece look too busy.

I hope you like it! Hope you don't mind how I portrayed your character!
Please FULL VIEW to see all of his details _{like the flecks in his eyes, and so on..}
And I'll allow download on this so you can see the full resolution of the picture since dA has it's own automatic resolution settings.

Thank you so much for trading with me!!
