Summary

"Emerald Dream Bear (Creature Concept)." Artwork by Bernardo Cristovao.

This piece's section of the "Concept Art Descriptions" text file (downloadable from the same source) reads:

The main question we asked ourselves in approaching all Emerald Dream creatures was "How can we get as many 'forest' elements (like roots, branches and leaves) into the design, whilst making them feel like they belong there?"

In this case, we ended up using leaves for the mane in a way that blends naturally with the flow of the fur - as if, in a way, they are all the same element.
