This was among the pictures I had drawn while still being in hospital last year to train my hand eye coordination. It will serve as a profile ID pic for a while.
The quality might be not so good, because I only had one pencil to draw this and sometimes the lines are "unsteady"

So many lovely rats! This is my first time learning of this style and I really like it. I'll need to look this up some more.
Arcimboldo created an interesting kind of art, playing with our senses to find known forms within different compositions.
For sure. All the fruit and book people are pretty cool but I mean...rats are way cooler :D
So cool and well done here.

"Might not be so good"?!?!?!?! O_O Dude, this is *INCREDIBLE*!!!!!!! You are an *AMAZING* artist, the fact that you did just to train your hand-eye coordination... gah, you are *MAGNIFICENT*!!!!
Roots and rats intertwine to shape the artist.
What a riveting piece!
What a riveting piece!
An intertwining of the roots and branches of a tree and of dozens of rats, coming together in a rather striking portrait. I've seen pictures in the Archimboldo style though didn't know of the artist before, so once again something new learnt from your artwork.
I could imagine as well this being another of Eternal's avatars, given that there is an infinite variety of guises he might take in the myriad worlds and planes he visits and I do remember one picture where he'd manifested as a sort of tree spirit. I would see this avatar as being a sort of genius loci of an ancient woodland, focused upon the stump of the oldest tree, the rats serving as eyes and ears of the avatar and here coming together to form an image through which the genius loci will communicate, the imagery of briars and orbs a visual display symbolising that all of the trees and all the creatures that dwell within the forest are as one whole, collectively represented in the spirit of the woodlands.

This music went along with the picture while I was drawing:
