Spooky tree

[waynebebay]

This is a great start. Considering the title I would much rather see some reflective light from the water. Maybe add a blue light hitting the bottom of the tree to reveal the tree a bit more. I don't know what your plans are but when I think of a spooky tree I think of tree taking the form of something scary for example - making it look like a monster about to pounce on the viewer.

Thanks for the idea some blue from the water would be a good touch especially to get some other colors in the tree area besides brown. I was planning on have a small band of adventurers silhouetted by torch light. The red would be good at popping the jagged "teeth" off the page. I also wanted to put in some vines to break out the linear patterns.

Hey there putting up another pass at the image. I added some details and really started pushing the trees in the background.http://i28.tinypic.com/1z14cah.jpg

Hey there all. Finished the piece hope you all like it. Crit is still appreciated! AS for adjustments, I crispend up alot of the edges and added the travelers. Also I added some moss and stuff on the rocks to bring them more into the scene and dulled back the roots of the main tree.http://i30.tinypic.com/13z50nr.jpg

damn why didnt i think of this! its a great piece and simple but effective, the people at the bottom really make it work and creat a sense of scale, i would say that all you have to do now is sharpen the edges up and add more depth and shadows.

I think you can boost up the intensity of the fire torches that the people are holding. At least a stronger glow at the center of the torch. additionally, you can emphasize the tree's "teeth" structure at the entrance by adding stronger reflect light from the torches. cheers!
