Hey guys, I'm starting my first hand painted / stylized environment :icon60: So this is my thread to post updates. Here's my initial concept painting and some forest flora sketches. Let me know what you think!

Looks like a good start, can't wait to see more.

Looks good! pine tree branches curve up though.

Fenyce

I like this! Looking forward for more.

KatKatchem

Thanks AJ, Micah, and Fenyce

..and I knoowwww, I was torn between being more realistic and making the branches curve up, but I like the fullness and slenderness of having them come down like layers of hair. Do you think it works? I might play with some more concepts and curving the branches upwards.

Here's a small update, working on the wood texture:

I like those stairs. The wood texture also looks really good. Excited to see where this goes

I've subbed and am looking forward to more of your art ^_^

Awesome concepts! Some general advice; maybe you should make a full 3d blockout before you start detailing. That's just down to personal preference though.
I personally think the trees work well like that.
Good luck with the scene!

Omnonmonmon instant sub Vegetation planing drawing is amazing. Good luck.

Thanks for the positive feedback guys ^_^

I need to do a blockout! I just got too excited to jump into texturing, so I'll take a step back and do a blockout next, komaokc
