Here is the first pass at my elvin village atop a very large tree.
Using a scale of 1 pov unit = 1 meter, this tree is over 150 meters
tall.  The structures are 6 meters in diameter.

Comments?

Thanks,

As in Elvin Jones?  [This wisecrack was a free service of the

Really looks good.  I thought for a bit about the shiny roofs
(rooves?) and decided I liked them anyway, although a green
roof tile would keep the castle from being spotted from the air.

On the very bottom of the picture, a little right of center,
the branches seem to be repetitive and not very branch-like.

Oh yeah.  Ellufs.  It needs at least one elluf.  In fact if you
could have a branch coming out *really* close to the camera with
an elf sitting on it....

And the far shoreline could use a jetty coming toward the camera
so there isn't quite so much question about whether that's a
lake in the background.  It looks too straight.  Maybe some
mist off in the distance?  Right now the cliffs seem to be as
clear as the castle.

This is a dynamite project.  Hope you keep us posted.

I'd definatly say that tiling the rooves with something would improve the
image 200%..  Looks great beside's that!!
