forest thumbnail 2

Trying to make the mushroom forest look more "out there" (and detailed).  I think the general idea is quite good, with adding some of the wierder fungi at the front to let me suggest detail further in.
It should also look better with a sky in, so I think I'll try and work that up next

    yep - the visual 'traffic' is much more satisfying in this thumbnail. It would be good to see lots of texture on those foreground shafts - perhaps think of your forest as having developed, coral-reef like - you know, one plant living parastically on another - host plants, symbiotic relationships - for example, take a look at epiphtyes

    and parasitic plants...

    I think you'll also enjoy the forest scenes in Monday's The Dark Crystal for the same reason...
