While I think the forest looks good, generally, one way to change this would be to extend the base of the trunks outward just a tiny bit, like a font serif. It would imply the ground in which the tree is planted.Originally Posted by jfrazierjr

I agree(that I liked flared tree trunks).. but at the scale the trees are in the image, I am not sure it would be noticeable in the final image.

OK - I can see the pushpin issue
I saved the brush incorrectly and it was using the same circle every time
I went and distorted each brush image a bit, then added a serif/trunk...
How is this variation in comparison? (It is supposed to be a "dark woods"):

Ah, yes, very nice, I think! The variation in the trees helps a ton! And I like the effect of the flare/serif on the base of the trunks.

Nice.... I would give you some more rep... but can't right yet...Yer REAL close to tipping 200....
BTW, did you create an image pipe for the trees...? If so(or even if not), feel like sharing?
