Hey all! Newbie to the forums here and I've been working on this background the past couple days:
This is supposed to be a small headhunters' village on a tropical island built right under a volcano. The tree is a dying version of the Erana's Peace tree from QFG1. I feel like this all needs some work. Specifically on the wood grains and lighting. I followed a tutorial for the wood consisting of a noise filter and then a motion blur. It feels uninteresting and too uniform to me. Also the lighting seems too bright and I'm still figuring out how to create shadows. How can I improve on all of this?
Also if there's anything else that's glaringly off with the BG, please lemme know.
TY!
