This was done as a submission to the YouTube show Alien Biospheres, the shot composition I will do my best to describe. The reference photo is a fictional alien plant known as a Nodophyte, made by YouTuber Biblaridion.

Reference photo
Frame 1: A simple grass mesh was used for the ground, with a painted sky on ProCreate Pocket. All of the 3 tree models in the foreground are essentially the same, but the background trees are 2D PNG renders placed into the scene.
Final shot:
The explosion was also done in render, and the shake effect was added after the render was complete.
