Bent/broken trees are harder to draw than regular trees.
Also I’m making a little more progress on the fantasy comic I’m developing. You can read about it on my Patreon. You don’t have to be a backer to read them but if you are you’ll see the updates first and even small pledges help me out a lot.
Yeah, bent trees of that size are kind of rare, at least with that much bend on them. Given their mass and stuff, toppling over with their root ends showing (like the ones on the side of the panel) would be a more common sight, specially if they have shallow roots. Or like, the tops would have broken off. Bending like that usually only happens if the tree is manipulated (either by humans or harsh elements like heavy snow) when the tree is still young and pliable, and even then they usually still strive upwards and sun-wards over time.
Is it very obvious that I live in a forest?
(though tbh, it’s usually pine trees I see toppled over after storms – maybe because they are much more common around here but I don’t think I’ve ever seen a leafy tree go down unless it’s rotten or cut down?)
