In my chracter design class we had an assignment to create a character and incorporate either clouds, rocks or trees into their design. Luckily I was down in southern Utah this weekend and surrounded by BEAUTIFUL nature! You'd be surprised by the fascinating shapes you can find in the dry, twisted, desert trees and shrubs.
