started working on this, but it seems to be missing something. mostly looking for critique on colors, and texturing.

also, ideas on what else i should add would be good too ;)

*damn, that was quick*

not quite sure what you did. as far as i can see, you changed my second darkest tone.

is there anything else you changed, or thats it?

and yes, ill desautrate that brown a wee bit.

edit: HAHA i am going blind. you changed all the colors!

ill desaturate a few of the background colors, but i like the forground ones bright

That little bit of color change helps a lot. I might suggest maybe a beam of strong light just hitting the base of the main trunk coming from the top right corner-ish?

I think it might be a good idea to use smaller ditherdots on objects farter from the viewer to add to the illusion of depth here. Depending on the mood, I would make the sunbeams whitish yellow for a bright and green forest or a rather desaturated brownish but still very light color for a clearing in a dark,woody forest.

One reference that might help with the lightbeams is this great piece by jamoon or ilkke or someone, I'll edit with the link once I find it.

EDIT: Here it is.

The rays are off to a good start. However, they seem to come from that one tree rather than around it, dithering may work it out. kutgw.
