Beautiful work. i love the color scheme. However i'm not sure it says lust... i see the hearts in the eyes *nice touch* but when i think of lusting i don't think i would turn my back to it - so tree placement maybe?
very cool. great great colors. everything takes part in the concept. like everyone said - expression is'nt clear. if the chia (?) is playing hard to get than she does'nt need hearts in her eyes and I'd make the tree lean longingly towards her...
or the other way around - she should stop being a bitch and show what she feels.
I dont know. I liked the first tree better because its texture kind of looked like the chia's wool. It added to the joke. the bonsai tree adds the japanese element which kind of clutters the concept
Hopefully the Chia Pet has less of a Stink Eye. I added a few more shadow details.
I am wondering about the Bonsai tree. I wanted more of an exotic elegant House Plant here because Chia Pets are indoor plants. It feels more right that using an outdoor shrub for her love interest.
