Graphic Design Brief

I would like a semi-realistic illustration. I've rendered some concepts and feel I'm on a solid base, but want some artistic inflections. I can provide concepts later, but would prefer not to initially. I would like the image to be against a transparent background and also sit well against a black background.

The image is a human head with minimal facial features. The head is facing slight to the right and should be more or less level. A mouth is mandatory, but otherwise being thinking towards bone structure outlines, possibly an underdeveloped nose, simplified ears, etc. Certainly no finer detailing desired. The mouth is open wide and is just large enough to be swallowing Earth.

I'd like the globe to be realistic in geography and general coloring, but no need to add fine details either. I'd like it rotated as to have the western hemisphere showing. As mentioned, Earth is being swallowed by the mouth of the head and is about 20% inside the mouth, with 80% still showing.

Out of the top of the head is growing a large, lush tree. It's canopy should be extended to at least the width of the other two elements, but avoid making it bushy. The idea behind this is the the tree is growing out of the head and thus should be blended together. I've seen a few concepts where the roots or cracking of the skull were incorporated into the head to almost look like veins and such... it was creepy and I wasn't a fan. I don't have as much vision with what type of tree, but I do want a singular tree trunk with reaching branches.

I'll try my best to describe the art style. The image overall has soft watercolor-like shading and pastel coloring. I love the smooth pastel iridescent skin tones in my concept. There's no hard outlining and desired colors are below.

Head- I'm a bit open on this but avoid realistic coloring. I do like softer and warmer colors, but feel free to go with something else. I'd like a few different colors shaded and used leaning very slightly to the abstract side.

Tree- think realistic coloring for the most part. Feel free to experiment, but at stick in the realism direction.

Earth- as stated before, shoot for realistic colors here as well.
