Duuude so nice.
Add color and texture to the plants, and maybe add like a dirt patch or something?
FUcking awesome though man!!

thank you. the grass makes it look awesome doesn't it? lol yea i will add color to plants later. i dont feel like doing anything right now lol.

[robgasm]

sand with few rocks/pebbles would look awesome as welll.

Its coming on nicely. The removal of the extra plants works methinks, but keep the canvas the same size as before

[Henry]

He just resized it for a quick upload :P
and yeah, the grass helped soo much.
like rob said, sand, rocks, pebbles

[Virulent]

sand on grass would be a lil weired but i will add pebbles and rocks defeinately. lol i cant stop looking at it.. it looks so realistic.

[Jeff]

Yeah, way better in color and w/ grass. The rocks do need color, and vary it slightly for each one so it looks more realistic.

[robgasm]

no I meant.. keep the space around the rocks where the other plants used to be.

Gaah, whyyyyy are people saving them as PNGs?!?!?!? It takes 10 times longer to load than a JPG... It's annoying.

Anyways, it looks good to me. I would have sand, as some people mentioned, instead of grass, but it's a matter of taste. The idea and modelling of the stones feels a bit Maya (not the program, zlol).

i donno for some reason i like the quality of PNG better than JPEG. PNG is clearer (i think from what i have tested lol).

anyways i didnt do sand because adding sand texture to a flat plane will greately reduce its details. what i m trying to say is that sand has particles and its not flat, its rather bumpy. in a detailed view of the picture it will look flat rather than bumpy. making small bumps is harder than making grass lol. and i wanted to add vines ariound the initials (stones) so if it was sand it would look a little weired. i dont think there r any vines that grow in sand lol. and by maya do u mean Mayan culture?

Right now working on the texture for the leaves.

EDIT: i will try adding sand and see if it works.

[MartinBabies]

Yes, the Mayan culture, of course. :P
Maybe as a bump map for sand you could do some noise in Photoshop, on a hi-res document or something. Would give you really small bumps.. But I don't know if it works, I'm no expert. xP
