I've had a picture like this in my head for a little while. I wanted to create a scene which symbolizes the bond between the girl called Lumri and the Plant Spirit.
Both are completely different yet they belong together.
Defiance of the Shadow shows the earthy and untouched forest, which is yet protected by the nature of the plant spirit whilst the lethal hand of humankind forces the forests to give way.
I had to create a final design for Lumri, which took me a while because I couldn't make up a good face for her. In the end, I thought that my youngest sister has the perfect look which fits to the character of Lumri.
The young and childlike shape of the face yet the concentrated eyes were very important aspects which made me choose my sister as a reference for Lumri.
Also, I think it's a good choice since I almost see myself when I was a little child and had dreams like those. :3
This was also a piece I used to experiment a lot with. For example I adujsted every single brush myself which has been used for this picture and I think I will use them more often. :D
I hope you like it! :3

WOW. The detail is very impressive. I love the grass in front between all the the roots and the colors used in them. The textures of the mosses in the background create a great effect. The concept of this piece and the fact that it looks absolutely stunning is pure amazing! The only thing that I see which just slightly hurts the image is that some of the mossy/grassy stuff in the background looks brushed (you can see the individual, identical steps), as well as the leaves farther down the picture getting closer to the towers.
This is incredibly beautiful! The details are just awe-inspiring and as always, your painting skills blow me away. More than just talent though, you always create beautiful characters and concepts that captivate me.
I really like how you colored the leaves at the top a brownish color, as if the smog 'tinted' them, and then incorporated a lot of vibrant colors at the base of the ground.
