I made something similar with ink a few years ago when I was studying at high school, but I didn't submit my piece because it's so... ugly xDDD

haha...it'll take a lot of $$ and energy...she didn't say it explicitly though. but it was obvious enough. I was looking around in the gallery, and when I was near the door. she said: have a nice day.
I said: I'm not finished yet!
She said: oh. I though you were, but I didn't mean to rush you out or anything.
I said: I hope not.

This is a very ancient concept, right out of the Greek myths - many nymphs were tree spirits, but one, Daphne, was transformed into a laurel tree by Apollo.
good drawing and concept
