Title: Forest Shrine
Post by: snitcythedog on July 06, 2025, 06:51:23 PM

After finishing a few totems, it was time to make a small forest shrine.  I was looking for something dark and foreboding so hopefully this fits the bill.

That definitely gives a dark and foreboding vibe, well done! So many fine details to look at, too.

Yes, proper spooky and makes you wonder who worships there.

Reminds me, in some ways, of the Kodama tree spirits in Puzzle Wood:

Great work!  8)

That would be a definite 'nope' from me, were I to stumble upon such a site in the woods...  :-X

So, no getting 'rich' selling to high fashion boutiques what you hauled out of the woods?   :o. Just as well, Igor, the guard, might have your head!  :o

Very nice work.
