Perspective? 3/4 top-view tree trunk

[Kich]

Hey everyone,

I'm having trouble with perspective. How do I make good tree trunks in 3/4 top-view? Look:



I don't think the tree I made have a trunk like this, but zelda had big ones that actually show just roots:

Failing a lot. :/ Perspective on the trunk doesn't seem right.

Canopy looks good, maybe its left (our right) side is tilted up more than the left side is, and that asymmetry of the leaves makes it look windswept to the left. (Animated?!)

To do the trunk's perspective, which is flatter ATM, drag that middle part down and make it more circular/U shape.

I think the trunk looks alright but that's most likely just me

But anyways just wanted to say that I really like those leaves o:

as pistachio mentioned, stretch the centre roots further downwards to emphasize the elipse.

This exact thing seems to bother lots of ppl but its a real simple fix once u know that a flat base gives off a cardboard cut-out effect.

also I feel like a canopy that size deserves chunkier roots to support it.

Thanks a lot for the tips!

I think it's looking better now,

Some improvements

I like it less with all the grass obscuring the trunk, but I do like the grass. Maybe have some trunk sticking out of the grass?

^ I love doing this. the tree trunk goes into the dirt then pops back out for a bit then back into the ground again.
it looks cool.
u can also make shadows and highlights on the grass that imply the root is just under the surface...
