[WIP] Oak of Life (Tree of Life)

[WerBackIII]

Here is a quick WIP with colours mock-up on a skin I am working on. The face is almost finished, and it shows how the leafs will look like.

This is the first serious, all-handdrawn resking I am attempting. Publishing this for two reasons: I want criticism, and more importantly, I want to present you something so that I won't have an excuse to "forget" about this skin and leave it be.

As for the skin itself:

I've always disliked the bad texture on the Tree of Life. It didn't look like tree, it looked like a strange giant made out of stone. With this texture, I am trying to make the ancient somewhat more colourful, with slight Tauren influence.

Nice job!!! it's really well done, could it be a tauren treant form? :'3

Nice design but if you look on the feather they look kinda weird and too much shaded.

Cool concept, it looks better than the warcraft one and I would like to see it's result.

Do keep in mind that the Warcraft III ones are meant to look like this...

They will obviously look... disturbed... if you forget about gamma correction since the colors are wrong. Most noticeable on the leaves which are overall more equally bright and the body which has a much more subtle and evenly bright purple tone.
