Description
While D'Akar slept by the river, Kara decided that she would go search for something to eat for breakfast. And on that journey she had already come across an ancient Elvin statue, and now she has found a group of stones, a clear sign that this land they had discovered is a magical place. Kara thought maybe she would be better off going back and getting D'Akar just in case she came across something she might need his help on. Before she could leave the area a form started to appear in front of the stones that took the form of what appeared to be a woman except it had no legs and no arms, well kind of, but not enough to speak of. Kara tried to talk to the spirit, but it ignored her, staring out past her as if she wasn't even there. Finally the spirit spoke, telling her that her name was Kojin, a tree deity that protected the forest. And as long as they meant no harm to her forest she would give Kara the food she was searching for. Kara told her that they had no plans to harm her forest or the creatures in it, only what they needed to eat. And with a wave of what looked like her hand, Kara found a selection of deer meat, squirrel and rabbit meat for her and D'Akar along with fruits. Kara thanked Kojin, gathered up what she could carry in the sack that Kojin had also made appear and started on her journey back to D'Akar so they could share a wonderful breakfast together....
Kojin is a Japanese goddess, she is a good-natured Japanese tree-deity. It is custom that old dolls may not be thrown away but should instead be dedicated to Kojin by placing it at the roots of an enoki tree.

amazing! this image is almost chilling, the way you are presenting the ghostly spirit of the tree deity. great background, just as nice as the last one, and the posing is again very good, the characters blend perfectly with your set.
Shannon, This is just excellent. Looks like a Hollywood set. Terrific modeling, posing, textures...everything, really. I love the trees and the large stumps. Did you make those in the program. This is all very clever.
