My entry for 's deity themed "fill the folder" contest.I chose to depict Silvanus, the god of nature, also known as the Forest Father, Treefather or Oak Father. He is one of the oldest and most prominent deities in Faerûn (the wilder counterpart to Chauntea the Earthmother), and especially worshipped by druids, woodsmen and wood elves.I have strong affinity to forest, nature and druids in general so I had lot of fun trying to depict him. Not to mention how much I love all things green...Silvanus is probably one of my favorite Realms deities besides Eilistraee, Selûne and Hanali Celanil. I originally even chose this deity for my Neverwinter Nights 2 druidess Izalie, but since Silvanus is strictly Neutral when alignment is concerned (and I always have a tendency to choose more Lawful responses than what would be appropriate for a druid) I eventually decided to go for more adaptive Shiallia who is often seen as one of his daughters.Reference: Brushes: [link] and [link] For more Forgotten Realms themed art take a look at
