Artist's Comments

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 [link] .

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

EDIT: Oh Man! A DD! *slight freakout* Wow! Was that ever a great surprise!
Thanks so much :icon3wyl: and :iconkatmomma: for suggesting and featuring my work. Towards those who kindly favourited my work: I wont be able to thank you all individually, but I send out a huge THANK YOU! It really means a lot to me, and I'm truly glad you like my bushbear!

Earth Bear by ~jessico91 " When seen in full view, the piece is brilliant. I really like the detail, from the bear to the leaves, and I feel the concept is portrayed quite originally." (Suggested by =3wyl and Featured by ^Katmomma)

This is awesome! I love how the branches form around him. Very lovely. I especially love how the branches are white. It's symbolic, like purity, which is what nature is. <3
:iconalectorfencer:
Wow! I really like the design!

Die Manie ist ein seelischer Zustand, in dem der Unterschied zwischen Idealbild und Ich aufgehoben scheint.

Thankyou! Yeah, I wanted to stay away from the colours that usually are applied to the earth element. Namely green. I thought that different colours would apply a more fresh look, and make it more... 'mystical'?
I also tried to portray peace and purity and calm with the colours, Im glad you noticed!
:iconthecrimsonshe-wolf:
I think you really conveyed that message well. A wonderful outcome overall! =D
:iconcottondragon:
Omg, I am speechless <_<" This is soooo beautiful, I bet you are going to win this contest ;)

I can see you spent a lot of time on this one. Nice original design. I have to compliment you on the fact that the background really doesn't look Photoshopped, because of all those little variations in colour. Brings life to the piece.
