Ling Zhi Mushroom Concept #02

UPDATE: Some tweaks added after feedback.

A second concept piece of the Ling Zhi mushroom



I felt the need to create a second concept piece to better illustrate the ling zhi mushroom and its possible environment, as the previous felt a little hard to read in hindsight. While I want to maintain a dynamism in my animation, a shot like this may perhaps be necessary to establish the scene.



With a good range of concepts, I feel confident to move on with storyboarding next in order.

I'm blog-watching while I wait for the election results to come in...

and I'm pleased you've revisited this concept, because, yes, your first image was hard to read; in terms of establishing your idea, your mushroom needs to shout 'MUSHROOM' without ambiguity - I still can't quite understand the spatial relationship of the largest mushroom - it appears to float; everyone has seen mushrooms growing on the trunks of trees, so they have this obviousness that you need to capitalise on.

Hi Phil, yes in hindsight the previous was a little too abstract in its composition. Hmm the larger mushroom in this piece is meant to be stemming from the tree in the immediate foreground which I may not have conveyed too well. I've just added some quick adjustments to try and fix this - so feel free to let me know what you think.

Cheers Jordan, your concepts are looking great too :)
