Spirit of the Rainforest

Description

Inspired in part by the writings of Terry Pratchett and his Discworld. Specifically see Wyrd Sisters and Wintersmith.

This is not a character he created, but some of the concepts he touches upon in his books really inspire me.
The idea of gods being created by belief, anthropomorphic personifications of ideas existing due to beleif, that something can be more than the sum of it's parts alone, and the idea of multiple universes in which everything that has imagined exists due to being imagined (kind of like a rule 32 but for the entire of existence and not just porn).

This being is the sum of a rainforest. She is not a person, she is composed of everything that lives in the forest. She is an avatar for the hivemind, and protects the parts that form the whole.


--------------------------------
Corel Painter X, Wacom Intuos and about 2 weeks work, on and off while minding the front desk at the tattoo studio.
