Well, that's teamwork. I just made concept inner rings in inkscape, you added details and textures. And of course Saphy's brilliant plants. I got some other ideas. For example hollow in big trunk which could be used as shelter / home. Maybe I will design outlines in inkscape - that is kinda good tool, it helps a lot to keep good perspective of tiles.Len wrote:Thanks, but it took surprisingly little effort on my parti wrote:Len wrote:
Nice trunk. ^_^Len wrote:
I think the base of the tree is whats doing it (try extending the roots towards the viewer some more)The leaves were just brushed on, so it isn't as detailed as I like. Is the shading done correctly? Somehow, it seems as if the perspective is wrong.

other than that, OMG! OMG! I must learn how you make such nice plants
Heres an example (I superimposed my old tree base on to your tree, I'm lazy )Saphy wrote:Like this?
It still looks weird.
It is still incorrect. You need more shading at the base. In other words: the closer to the ground the tree gets, the darker it gets.Saphy wrote:I see. I will start with remodeling the trunk first. This is what I have so far:
Is the perspective alright?

The farther an object is from a light source, the darker it is. Since the sun is up high in the sky, that means that the closer you are to the ground, the darker you become. The reason it looks like the tree is bending backwards is because there is too much light near the roots. By darkening the areas closer to the ground, you fix that error.Len wrote:explainPauan wrote:It is still incorrect. You need more shading at the base.

With a light source such as the sun it hardly makes much of a difference, actually the closer to the top of the tree the darker it would become. Because some of the light is obstructed by the vegetation of the tree.The farther an object is from a light source, the darker it is.

True, the difference is subtle. But it is still there. Our eyes are complex enough to tell when that subtle difference is there... or not. Also, that only applies when the tree actually has foliage.Len wrote:With a light source such as the sun it hardly makes much of a difference, actually the closer to the top of the tree the darker it would become.

Modanung's tree is a good example
Why would the trunk get darker just because it is closer to the ground? O_oPauan wrote:It is still incorrect. You need more shading at the base. In other words: the closer to the ground the tree gets, the darker it gets.
