Opinions Please on Natural Camo

[Fred Weiss]

Working on natural camouflage seamless tiles and would like opinions of these examples.

Needs more bark

 

[Pat Whatley]

and less poison ivy.

 

[Fred Weiss]

Is this better?

 

[Shovelhead]

better with less leaves....now less middle layer to show more bark.

 

[Fred Weiss]

By middle layer do you mean the branches or the camo fabric?

 

[Shovelhead]

the fabric Fred...I didn't even notice the branches.

 

[Fred Weiss]

And now?

The branches and twigs don't have a natural placement look to me. More angle to them would help. just my .02

I like the Idea Fred---
I think the way the branches are placed vertically makes it look artificial when tiled. Maybe place them at more of an angle.

yup...they looks placed....with that revision, bellissimo Fredo.

Okay, here are the branches rotated and a slightly different treatment to the camo fabric. Single tile and tiles versions.

Are we there yet?

Much Better!

The brighter yellow leafs on the top and bottom where they tile
would look better if it was changed to a darker color

 

[weaselboogie]

I think you need to get rid of that bright leaf and that vertical branch.

 

[SignosaurusRex]

Much better. The vine maple leaves still look too patterned. Needs to be a bit more random appearance. Ya, I know, not so easy to achieve in a tile. Maybe a little varigation in the vine maple leaves might subdue boldness. Some slight redness in one of the species and a darker green in another might help. Are the species colorations all matched to one season for realism? Just a thought.

I agree about the yellow leaves, I don't think you should have singular elements with such sharp contrast sot that when tiled, they form a row or column of contrasting elements. Your first post was actually much better in this regard, though looking a little contrived, but better mix of color.

 

[Replicator]

much better in post #12

 

[autoxtras]

I think you need less bright colors,more bark,some oak leaves and maybe some brownish colors.

Thanks for the input everyone. We ended up with a series of eight varied images .... different bark, different camo fabric, different leaf color, each in the same layout. They will be part of our upcoming Plotter Art™ Seamless Texture Tiles Volume Two soon to be released. They will also be available at ExpressClipart.com in the near future for individual purchase and download.

Attached are low resolution versions.
