Derby entry comments for Derby #91: Trees

you’re awesome. even with white flamingos it rocks. (and i still say they are exclamation points, which makes it even better in my book. even if you and the rest of the world say they’re not.)

:slight_smile:

this is hilarious. good luck!

that is too cool…

Nice! Very creative. My favorite part is the bucket collecting butter.

Beautiful riff… GMV!

The choice is ours: embrace and save mother nature, or destroy our planet through our own greed and aggression.

Save the tree that gives us so many things! Especially maple syrup!

Yup.

Stunning.

Enjoy the fog!

I’ve got two in my front yard that are budding right now. Nice design.

It’s based on one of my favorite Greek myths, Baucis and Philemon. They were an old couple who was granted a wish because of their hospitality to the gods. They chose to wish that when one died, the other would die as well, so neither would have to live a day without each other. Upon death, they were changed into two different trees growing from the same trunk, one an oak, the other an linden.

Hope you guys like it!

This is just beautiful ! Taking a trip back to childhood times ! I like it very much !

Good luck !

Hi everyone,

I wanted to do my design this week with a distinctive classic storybook feel.
The greens are meant to represent the summer season.
Thank you for your feedback on the design, and I hope you enjoy it.

Thanks for all your support as always.

That is stunning work! I like that trees make a solid foreground. It’s very rare to see a foreground as appose to a background. Solid work!

OMG, I love it. I’d want one! First submission ever? Wow.

Oh, and for those that want to see the full comp, here it is!

Uh, is that a nus in the red square?

And to trees they shall return.

P.s.- Daaanng. There’s already, like, 100 entries and it’s not evem 12:30!

hrm, I don’t really understand why the money symbol would make the difference. I’m not being abrasive, I am just curious.

whoops, HERE’s a larger view of the design:
