Winter begone.
Let the flowers in the deep vast forest awake again and bloom over the land. Yay for being burnt out...I don't even know how to describe this picture. Anyway, I'm really happy how this picture turned out in the end. It was sometimes a real struggle but I got there eventually. You might have noticed big changes in the background and colour scheme. I spent most of the time thinking where to set the next brush stroke and especially thinking of which brushes to use. After browsing my PS brushes and brain, I finally came up with the WIP, which I showed to you already: [link] The face has changed from the original sketch too because painting fur really didn't work on the base of the sketch: [link] In the end, I struggled mostly with the background because the colour scheme didn't co-operate with the orginal sketch (trees and mountains), so I changed it after three freaking outs and one banging-the-head-on-the-table. I will post a walkthrough of this as soon as possible.  Thanks a lot for looking!  Photoshop: 30 hours   The Plant Spirit is Copyright to Claudya Schmidt aka AlectorFencer.

The only thing I can think to critique are those twinkling highlights in the background snow.
I find it a bit odd that there are not any of those bright highlights in the foreground snow, near the plant spirit's glowing light source, but there are bright highlights in the darker background.
Just my two cents.

I believe in Jesus Christ as my Savior. If you do too, copy and paste this into your signature.
I love how the locks of moss and vines continue through the snow and resemble flowing hair.
The trees and their coloring really add depth to the scene. I can imagine just walking between the trees and hear the snow crunching softly under my feet. The glitterings of light on the snow surface are also a subtle treat.
You always add such wonderful, realistic details like the delicate new grass blades, the flowers budding to life and the veins of the leaves in the lower left corner.
Head banging aside, your efforts really produced a beautiful piece of art.

I really like the color scheme you used and how plant spirit fades into the background.
