Maybe a bit more black (or a black wash)? I’m no expert on painting but maybe this tree looks a bit too cheerful – as if he’s living near a brewery, instead of walking about in some dark forest.
Good point, but I must admit that the figure in real life looks a bit more dark... The thing is, I still haven't seen it myself in daylight (only under a daylight bulb...)
In the upcoming weekend I will have my first chance to see it in 'normal' daylight, so I hope it still looks as I think it looks, lol.
Tonight I will finish him (didn't come to hobby'ing yesterday...). Next sunday I'll be able to look at him in real daylight, and if the foilage is added by then and the base is completed, I will have a better idea of the whole figure and where I will have to add a little more darkness (if needed... but usually I'm fed up with it once based etc, lol).

what did you do with the merry and Pippin models that came in the set?
And I hope you'll make an article on this bad boy
Merry and Pippin are still somewhere in the drawer.. (I hope)...
But... I've had several of those Merry's and Pippins over the past years (picked up several spare ones on ebay in the early days) and used them in a diorama somewhere (once in Edoras where Pip was looking into the palantir, that was my very first diorama ever! and another set of these two hobbits was used in my 'In the house of Tom Bombadil'-diorama. Reminds me that I still haven't fixed my own gallery here...)
I won't make an article of this one (Treebeard)... but I'll probably add pictures of him aswell in an article I'm planning, an article that will cover all the ents, but I will (or rather plan to...) make the actual guide on some of Majestic Bear's Ents... (simply because I love them more then GW's ents, although their plastic one is a great sculpt...).
