Description
With this image, I was trying to create a character from completely natural materials...sticks, rocks, etc. Trying to get the feeling of nature and the buffalo gone and lost to us....the sadness of losing one's connection to the earth.
I know he's very strange looking but I find him quite appealing. Hope everyone is well and prospering. The weather is warming here and looking forward to a busy summer ahead :)

Wonderful Nancy...Love the concept...Kinda looks like me in the morning...Thank you....
Excellent image, very creative and unique, excellent composition, I really like the textures and colours, very nice!
very much outstanding composition and post work, but he is down right freaky. I am in awe of your imagination
Well this nice chap realy hits the top. That's what I call creativ. Tribal symbol? Yes. Light? Fitting. Vibrantions? Cosmic. Beard? Long. Honest? Absolutely yes. Points? 1000 and a bonus pack of extra BINGO!! Burpee you did it again!!!
He looks like a Native American Spirit or a Shaman or something. Very powerful, yet forlorn. Well done, Nancy!
Wow! That's great artwork. Must add to favs.
Superb job!
This is just brilliant! The symbolism and organic feel of this piece just grabs me. Great and wonderful piece of art!
LOvely character, Great compilation!!!! Another fine work Nancy!!!
wow! creative and compelling...... nice work!
now that's some weird looking buff man.
It is strange and kind of disturbing looking,but it does have a natural elemental feel to it.Very imaginative work.
Wowwwwwwww. Such great details. The longer I look, the more I see. What an amazing, wonderful image! You totally nailed the whole organic thing. Nice work, my dear, I like this a lot!
Outstanding!
Excellent work Nancy ! Very original and unique :)
There is something about that frame that makes the whole package look top notch. A perfect match.
He has the air of wisdom and age about him. He's seen many moons pass over head. I like him!
Excellent artwork indeed! What a creative image - very impressive! I also like the colour of the sky. 5 stars from me!
I like this person you made cool looking
Wonderful! He does have a very Natural Feel.
What a cool and very creative image!! Top rating and render....Shannon ;}
Surreal stuff Nancy. Really dig this. Like something out of Dark Crystal or something. The only thing that bugs me is the middle horn. Changes it to look less buffalo-like with 3 horns. Awesome render!!!!!
Wow Thats Awesome "Logo for a New Hockey Team" or paint on a bike, truck Love it! (fav) :)
Very cool !
E X C E L L E N T!!!!!
Amazing work! Slightly creepy too - I think his hands look quite threatening. 5+
Hi! Great pic!
great idea.
This is an iconic image. This for me stepped in pagan mytholigy, this is the green man, consort to the Godess, also known as Hern the hunter, half man half deer. Check out this quote: The Legend of Herne There is an old tale goes that Herne the Hunter, Sometime a keeper here in Windsor Forest, Doth all the winter-time, at still midnight, Walk round about an oak, with great ragg'd horns; And there he blasts the tree, and takes the cattle, And makes milch-kine yield blood, and shakes a chain In a most hideous and dreadful manner. You have heard of such a spirit, and well you know The superstitious idle-headed eld Receiv'd, and did deliver to our age, This tale of Herne the Hunter for a truth. "The Merry Wives of Windsor" Act 4 Scene 4 Bill Shakespeare
Great fantasy work Nancy!!!Beautifully composed!!!And the render is spectacular!!Brava!!!
