Legend says if you can manage to fell even a single trunk, many more will grow in its place.

Yeah… about that "tree" aspect… how much % tree does it have to be? I started similarly to some other works here but ended up going more to a nymph-like creature dicrection...



Edit: Huh, I think I messed up on the file saving, there are more colors here than I used.

I'm using the app Dottable on iPhone, it's pretty good but not perfect, will need to try other apps for transparency and stuff.

I voted to accept your piece in the public queue. Hope this helps get you piece accepted quicker.

I wouldn't worry though, challenge pieces usually get pushed through on Sunday.
