Spirit Tree

With this one, I wanted to experiment a little with foliage and organic sculpting. The beginning of the project was rough, as you can see in the process GIF, but I trusted the process and eventually found an interesting way to sculpt the tree. I'm really proud of how it turned out!

The bells weren't planned at the beginning, but I felt the tree was missing something to make it more visually interesting.
They are inspired by the ones from Project Dragon, sculpted by Michael Vicente - Orb. I thought their style was really cool and would fit my tree perfectly :

I had a hard time with the leaves—finding the right shape and tweaking the shader—but in the end, I'm happy with how they look.

I hope you enjoy trees as much as I do! 🌳

The bells aren't there to keep the spirits entertained—they're there to warn you if the tree tries to walk away!
