I’ve seen a lot of awesome bonsai trees recently and thought of making one that captures my interests. A big base filled with gears and pistons with a pneumatic arm holding up the leafs with oil slowly dripping down. I ended up making 2 different bases and couldn’t decide which one I preferred (black base being the first design)

I think the grey base conveys the 'mechanical' aspect better. Moreover, the monochromatic and greebled accentuate the polychromatic gears and such contained within. Too, the oil is easier to see pouring out of the sides. Cool take on the Bonsai. The only suggestion I have is making the foliage take on a mechanical look as well; IMHO, having the entirety of the tree be mechanical would homogenize the concept rather than having the disparate organic and mechanical elements, which just don't quite gel to my eye.
