Hi all, long time no see!

Oh well. sorry for the big picture.. :)

Well, the whole concept was firstly a tree in a jungle, with a little cottage on it. I started with the tree, but i realised it stuck on the edge of the 'paper'. I started to solve this problem!
What do you think guys? Is the tree enough realistic? or need to work more on the details?

I used photoshop and a genius tablet, about 2-3 hours working!
I look forward to your reply!

I think you need to look more at tree trunks- they usually have much deeper grooves, clints and grikes stand out more than they do here. I also think you need to make the tree trunk look more rounded, suggest forms with shadow etc. Good start though!

Thanx Squibbit! Yea i think i will add some more branches or something.. good idea!
Well i wanted and i want to add something, because it is quite boring... isnt it? Im sure i will try to add a "death bird" (raven) to the left side of the tree, to the thinner bough, and something is necessary to the the whole tree i donno yet

I read "dead bird", not "death" and thought : hey dead raven sounds like a great idea!

I always been wondering where all the dead birds go, would be fun to have one
in the pic , heh

hah i had already posted the "there gonna be more stuff..?" question when
I saw the thread's titled "tree project" hehe

It is finally done!

I was bored by this picture, so made the final rendering, added texture and etc...
I didnt want to add more to the concept at all, this is good as a tree study it think, nothing more, nothing less. I love it.. its cool i think, but id like to see some comments if possible :D

So comments and CRITS are welcomed!

Looking nice! My suggestion is to add some branches coming towards the viewer. Now all the branches seem to be on the same plane.

very nice image brutal monk and nice concept
I really think that the texture on the tree is a nice one

by the way, how did you manage to create it? brushes?

i can see that raven is a common interest for us :)
