I think the bark looked more convincing in the earlier skin, but still, it is looking excellent.

sweet skin

i dont like his head tho. U should delete that green thing and make the top of the bark the bottom part of his mouth. Then add a second piece of bark on top to make the top part of his mouth, so u get something like

[Linga]

really original and looking very good so far. i like it

what about some leaf antlers or so?

a hole in the trunk could be funny. because this guy is looking little like a wimp so he can draw his head inside like a turtle ^^

i really love the last pics u showed us although i dont think the head goes to well with the rest of the fabulous body...i think it shuld b grittier ie. make it bumpy and darker imo..give it a slightly meaner look that suits the rest of the body..but still cute:)...im luvin this...i want to get my teeth into sumthing like this sumtime...inspiring

Thanks for all feedback,

I'm glad someone caught onto him looking like a wimp as that is a big part of his personality. Which is why the heads round, cute and simple...as for creating the head by merging it into the bark that would of probbaly ending up being more sinister...its also the method thats used for every single tree character I have ever seen, really wanted to try something different.

As for adding antennas etc, I would of loved to do a stalk and one or two leaves from that. There is quite a few things which could be added such as graffiti on the tree or a sign post saying "Keep off the grass" or something. Sadly I'm racing against the clock until May so its unlikey to happen.

get some sharper darks lines in there to give it definition. Any more head deatils? Dirt? Scars? Blood shot eyes? Cmon do something to make it interesting for me to look at.
