solitude tree

I found some brushes I thought I'd lost this morning and naturally started messing with them, and gradually it morphed into this little bit of scenery here~
My main issue with this is that Ferox might not fit in that well? Which is totally fair. Because having done all this scenery work, I wanted to make something of it, and I also had this practice Ferox sketch from two or three months ago that I never did anything with. Into the picture it went! Don't try to think about how fern leaves can come out of a completely unrelated bush, it makes absolute sense.

It's kind of fitting though really, I had to make a long string of phone calls at work last week and I'm still somehow socially exhausted from it? I have phone anxiety and I've never made that many consecutive phone calls in my life. yay
Also I miss forests and fields.

I might update the post if I do any more work on this later, it's far from perfect. Just now realizing it might look more natural if you couldn't see her back paws (and I'd like to find the .PSD of that sketch and refine it a little more).
