How about this one OMC, I post this as my entry of the worst example of nebari. Over the top, and many more adjectives.
I think what makes these trees look so misplaced is the fact that they are single trunk designs. The 4/5 trunk designs work due to the fact that the canopy sort of helps diminish the large flat nebari. When done on a single trunk, with a pointed apex like the one I posted and the one OMC posted, the nebari starts to overpower the design. In the good nebari tree from the beginning of the thread, My eye, is not drawn to the nebari first. I seem to take in the whole tree in one quick burst. I see the whole and it is good.
The "gnome" trees on the other hand have the nebari out there all by itself. You can't help but be drawn to it. Allthough, if thats what the artist is tring to acheive, so be it.
