Before creating branches and foilage I realize I better get the carved face in place. There are a few glimpses of what these could look like in the TV series...
Looks alright, but I'd like to see if I can make something even more ethnic looking. I have scoured the internet for various wooden mask to get some inspiration (I may resize the images later)
African masks are always cool but they may communicate a southern vibe which may not bee ssuitable for the Children of the Woods who carved these masks.
Burmese buddha. Very clean but perhaps a bit too polished.
Cherokee. I like the rawness.
Eskimo ceremonial. Very clean, simple and effective design.
Green man. A tree on a tree may be a bit too much.
Impressionistic
Maori. Perhaps a bit too recognizable as This World iconography.
Modern, naturalistic carving if you ignore the knot. I like this one a lot.
Norse. Rather powerful. I like it a lot, I am Swedish after all...
Papau-New Guinea. Very impressionistic.
Roman.
