Re: Squamata
Hey there! I'm gonna take a stab at a virtual
Looks kinda messy but the circled part in blue is kinda where I would bend back over and perhaps form an apex with that.
Create some form of twisty complex looking apex even.
+ potential for deadwood, changing foliage pads (I think there are plenty of branches to work with) etc
Just playing with the trunk line really

Re: Squamata
if would like to see the trunk more, (if you think its nice enough-hard to see from pic), and a couple of fancy jins. very stylised, powerful yet poetic. maybe a little robert stevens.
heaven is a free afternoon and a piece of material like this to play with!
sorry for the rough as virt,
i am a computer newbie and bit of a technophobe. hope to improve.
