About 70 percent done. Don't judge my shading too harshly. It's mostly quick paintbrushing to give me a solid idea of what I am going for.
In this one I've tried to texture the rest of the tree to look like a tree. You'd be surprised how hard that actually was... Also changed the furthest back set of roots, as well as the eyebrows and mustache (which I am not happy with and nowhere near done with.)
So yeah.. I have to clean up my outlines pretty badly, it's all still my rough sketches, lol.
So as of now, I am planning on adding a shadow around the tree, same as the smaller trees cast. Basically just giving depth to the roots and the tree's connection to the ground.
Speaking of the roots.. I am finding them a pain the ass to shade. I don't like how the front most set has turned out so far. Probably going to have to add far more detail to them or something. They just look too cartoony. I may end up doing circles like I am attempting on the nose. That may do the trick.
Also note that I editted the area and the shadows. Heh.
So yeah, don't judge the 'pillow shading' as of right now. It's all temporary and I promise you I can up the quality before this thing is done. Haha.
