Forest spirit playing for animals

Illustration has been designed for an illustration challenge.

Topic: design a character - little forest spirit who has got his first forest.

In the Slavic mythology the forest spirit is responsible for protecting the forest. He or she is good for the forest inhabitants and bad for the visitors, especially those who break the silence. I decided that this will be a small man in green colour, with a long glowing beard - symbolising his magic power. Since he is good - animals are not afraid of him and are happily interacting. He is the master of the forest so he is playing the pipe, bringing everything in the forest in order and harmony.
