Forest of Stars

I was imagining a forest where there are stars of the world patterned on to the barks. In the forest lives a group of stargazers, readers of destinies and keepers of lore.They built an observatory in the effort to keep track and preserve the stars movement of the forest.

Something thats been in my mind for a long while now. Ended up tweaking the color and value to be darker than what it was originally planned, all in the effort to bring out the stars patterns on the tree and to mimic space.

This took longer than usual since I keep tweaking the value nonstop, still I feel unsatisfied even now with this piece. But its time to move on!
