Tree WITH character

Okay, so our homework this time was to draw a tree with character. 

No, not a tree character, a tree WITH character. Big difference there.

Mood board:

It was not easy finding these images. A lot of the time it would just pop up with a plain tree, instead of an environmental piece.

Initial designs:

Here are the initial designs I came up with. My favourites where the first and last ones, with the last one being the one I went with.

Rough:

I made a rough version to get the feel of it. Like where everything was placed but wasn't happy with the colours for the tree.

Final:

Changed the colours of the tree, added a magic core to it.

Added a moon in the background and a silhouette of a person in the foreground.

Conclusion:

Meh, it's alright. Could be a lot better.

Environment pieces are my weakness (which shows in this piece) so I need more practise with it.
