The God of the Forest

By Greggrth,
posted 12 years ago Traditional Artist

Tired of having to watch as a human dwelling steadily grew and invaded his land, cutting away at his trees to make space and smothering the ground beneath pavement and concrete, the God of the Forest thought it was time to reclaim his land. He rose from the ground, forming his body from stone, tree and soil and began the walk through the human's city. Each step he took sent tremors through the ground and caused new life to spring, forcing it's way through roads, pavements, ripping through anything that got in their way. Nothing could stop this force of nature...

I hate buildings >_< They came out more toony than I intended but I'm more or less happy with how it came out. Think I need to work on my colouring though. Anywho, hope you all enjoy

A giant male Poison Ivy. I'm more of a Marvel fan honestly

I like the design. Very clever.

But why would the God of the Forest need a pair of shorts?

Greggrth ~greggrth

Because I couldn't decide to give him an oak or a redwood between his legs

Oh, if it was Mother Nature, she'd do a little more than stroll through a city, she'd wipe it out O_O

A very cool concept, and quite strikingly executed. ^_^ A bit Mononoke-like.

Greggrth ~greggrth

OP

Really need to Google that >_> No idea what Mononoke is

Watcher

It's a story about spirits and demons, gods and humans, magic and technology, and a human who lives with wolves. I love it.

What Growan said. Or to be a bit more specific, a Miyazaki film which included a spirit of the forest that looked like a deer (though designed differently from this).

I love this outrageously creative idea, a gigantic deer god of the forest... I thought of ideas myself but never on such a gorgeous scale~

Long as I'm on his good side I welcome him doing whatever with open arms :3 Mmm... maybe find some way to boost that colossi's power and mass greater~?

The colors really bring it out. :)

Thanks I'm fine with colouring people, but my brain just can't seem to carry the skill over to buildings

Glad you like him, but not sure if I could do him again O_o Sooooooo much detail

Watcher

12 years ago

What if you split him into his individual elements? Like do a stone version, a forest version etc, would that make it easier to recreate him?

Just a thought, not anything mandatory. :)

Huh, I actually heard DC has a comic character who can communicate with the spirits of cities and even had a city to come alive to fight an alien invasion... he even managed to tell a building to save a teammate of his, even if it meant the building would kill some of it's inhabitants in order to do so... if he showed up and used his powers here...

I see you been watching those rather confused environmental theme movies/shows in which it makes it seem like man-kind's only chance of ensuring the wellness of the earth... by literal dropping and forgetting everything we have developed after discovering fire... even some to use something along the lines of spiritual elements that makes Catholic/Christian messages of chastity seem legit....
-The Day the Earth Stood Still remake
-Captain Planet
-Winds of Amnesia
-Eyes of Mars
-Birdemic
-That one episode of Srgt Frog where the moral was literally don't liter beaches or an ancient alien race will come up and kill everyone...

There's just something about this that I really love ^^

I hope you don't mind but, it wouldn't bother you if I used this forest god concept (giant deer, life springing up under his tread, etc) for a character I was considering making, would it?

Greggrth ~greggrth

OP

Traditional Artist

Oh by all means, it's not as though I made up the concept myself, you can use it as you like
