APHA - Cheers
paperclip - More crows!? You people are so demanding. And tips for painting detail… well, I don’t use any special method. I mostly do it in 4 stages - 1st block in the colour (like the thumbs), then refine the mid-ranges with a smaller brush. Decrease brush size again and work in the deep shadows and bright reflections. Then add the really fine detail and neaten up. I bet you could have guessed that. I feel guilty now for not using a more imaginative method 
beelow - There’s always one
Thanks for dropping by, anyhow
createmai -The tree does have some monsters in it, if you look very carefully (helps if you’re drunk too)
Elrond56 - They did have children, but the trees ate them. I get your meaning about the emotion although it might be tricky to come up with anything at this stage. I’ll give it some thought. Thanks.
n i c o - Thanks muchly
Lithan - 
Xeophex - Thanks. And yes, I’ll enter, unless I don’t.

NinjaA55N - Thanks for the comments. Not sure about the colour, I’m hoping the woman will be colour enough. We’ll see.
abourabe - Thanks
hungthai - Don’t stare at them for more than 30 minutes, it’ll drive you mad. I should’ve said. Glad you like it though.
