This is a representation of the element 'earth'.
The branches do not encase this creature, rather, they are him. They do not hinder him. Instead, they move with him, are a part of him, as he is a part of them. They surround, support and protect him. When not in motion, he will root himself to the ground to gather energy and to secure himself.

This took a very long time to make. But I'm quite proud of the result! It's probably the best photoshopped painting I've ever done. I learned a lot while doing it, and am getting a bit more confident with photoshop. And on top of that, it was lots of fun to do--- creating a creature and colouring and the whole bit.
I've nicknamed him "Bushbear". The original sketch can be found at

Anyways, this is my entry for
and
's element contest.

But I love the details and the whole concept of how he's one with the earth and everything is together.
Kudos!
I'm very glad you like him!
