Does this look 3-D?

I tried to make this area look like there is a ridge road running through mountains, and the pagoda and wrestling center are on the ledge of the ridge.

(Its parking lot is across the street, on the other ledge, not pictured here)
I used repetition of form with the three large TORII and adjacent lanterns, to attempt to lead your eye; to where the block wall is staggered, suggesting the top of a staircase.

So from the top where Sakitumi is having tea, follow the lanterns through the court, down the stairs behind the pagoda, then follow the dirt path, to the building down in the valley of cherry blossoms.

I tried to make the seven lanterns look like they're smaller in the distance, as you pass them going through the fourth, smaller Torii. And the shorter building is behind the taller, and surrounded by tall mountains.

Can you see it? Does it work?

    Thanks, pill! I haven't done much 3-D work so I appreciate the feedback and the compliment. =)

    I've been trying to keep Sakitumi sitting out in the courtyard there, drinking his tea. Which is hard every four hours to remember not to tap him too quickly, or he'll get away. I don't like it when I start him drinking tea IN the road. If he gets hit by a golf cart, or stampeded by a boy on an elephant, that is totally on me.

    Bikers on the sidewalks... Scorpion peacocks and various other wacky NPC things. SF is a dangerous place.
  • Followed closely your suggestion and yes I see the 3D, very effective.

    Thanks, adruralo!
  • Very nice! You did a brilliant job with that. I've tinkered with 3d but just cant make it work.
