Stylized Fox Shrine - Let me know your thoughts!

SilverKayin

This is my Shrine scene I have been working on since last September. I had I a lot of struggles getting it to this stage. The wood trim sheet was really tough for me to get where I wanted it to be. With feedback I went through several iterations. I think I landed on one that looks pretty good for what I'm going for. The trees were another area of frustration. I went through probably 8 or 9 different variations to get to the ones you see here. It's was a major learning curve going from doing props to a full environment,  so much more to think about. I learned about trim sheets, material blending, better ways to make foliage. I'm gonna take the knowledge I gained from this a move on to my next great adventure!

I think having more variety in the sizes of the red trees, or placing some in clusters/groups would help make them look more natural outside of the path. Right now I get a weird repetition vibe from how they are used in the backdrop.
