Yeah, ain't that title just the best?

This is a tree I started a looong(ish) time ago that I figure I should actually finish. It was gonna be for a collab, but not so many people seemed interested. Here's the latest update.

And while I'm at it, I might as well throw in my crappy lineart. I know, the arms a re crap. I'm workin on it, don't piss yourself.

It's in my head. Basically I just throw down some lines and edit them till they're decent. I don't often use referneces, which isn't really a good thing.

Sounds like a plan.

Updated the first post.

Wow, surprised nobody spit fire at my sad attempt at a sky. That leads me to one conclusion. Not enough people saw this.

So I bump. Mostly because my self esteem begs for acknowledgement, partly because I wanna know what I'm doing wrong, if I'm doing wrong.

And Ideas from people rock, too. I'm thinking mainly the houses. Something more detailed could go there... but what?

I think that compostion is off... what I mean is that the tree is the main focus but it really doesn't seem like it should be. If possible, I'd like to see the scene expanded with something to the left or right of the tree in the foreground. The buildings in the background look fine for what they are - background. The sky looks good too but, perhaps add some lighter and darker tones to enhance your dithering technique. Also, some clouds would be awesome... give the sun something to shine over. And finish that tree because I'm absolutely loving the details you've put on it. Kickass work dude!
