A forest scene that I will use to make a diorama with. Not going to reveal what it is used for. If you're interested in a step by step process on how to make your own, visit this link http://imgur.com/a/vXEK1

That is a lovely and serene bit of nature. Makes me want to go take a walk in the park.

I need to make an excuse to make another table - while still in the middle of my current table

That looks great. I never thought of using pine nuggets.. So, about that.. are the nuggets just plain wood, or is it mulch for gardening (as in laced with poop)?

Great job.
Multiple trees seem like they're bent towards the right side of the picture, as trees would when growing in a very windy place. Is it on purpose? And if so, will the minis in the diorama show the same thing (capes and flags floating towards the same direction)?
Also, a small unrelated thing: not everyone in the world knows how big an american penny is, so it can be hard for non-americans to have a sense of scale of your terrain.

if you go to walmart, to the gardening section or home depot (they are the exact same product) you want to get "Pine Bark Nuggets." here is a link https://www.walmart.com/ip/Timberline-Tl-Pinebark-Nuggets-2cf/186364930. they are literally $5. Good luck i hope you make something wonderful!

The entire thing is 8x10 inches or 20 x 25 cm. The trees are bent in such a configuration as to draw the eye to the placement of the minis (of course once i get around to finishing them). So, to answer you're question, they are curved and bent not only because it looks natural, but also so that it enhances the composition of the overall piece.
Also thank you both for your kind words, I try to make good work and I do appreciate feedback.

The pine nuggets make perfect rocklike textures, but you should try it! It's not like either cost a lot (although gw would probably put some bark in a plastic tub and sell it for like 8 million coins of the realm). I have never used rubber mulch. I tell everyone that they shouldn't take my word for it, go try new things because there are a million ways to do something.
Also, feel free to message me with what you come up with. To me, sharing is the most fun part of this hobby.
If you're interested in more tutorials, check out Massive Voodoo. They have absolutely fantastic tips and tricks and they are some of the best painters I have ever seen. 3T studios also has a tutorial on terrain on dakkadakka as well. That was what got me started about a year ago on trying to make dynamic terrain.
Here are the links

Very very nice piece of terrain!
The wind swept trees area very nice touch...and exactly how every tree looks where I live
I'll check the tutorial, because terrain like this is worth learning to.
