Trick or Tree :: Pixel Art Detail

Oh man, I just noticed the puns!

That tree is awesome.

I shall bookmark it, and study it's leafy ways

(Oh, and about all of my sprites have pun titles)

I like treez!

I don't want to sound too critical here, but this is almost where it needs to be, and so deserves that last bit of work.

1. The canopy is too small for the trunk
2. The leaf texture is too small to 'read'
3. The shadows are too dark
4. The highlight is too glassy (as if tree were a plastic globe)
5. There are too many colours

Please keep in mind that these are just a beginner's observations!

Take a look at this tree to help see what I mean.  Your tree has only two colour areas, green and brown, and doesn't need 21 colours to represent (the example tree uses ten).  As a personal opinion that you can regard or not, I also happen to feel that greens don't pop if they don't have yellow-enough highlights!

Please keep submiting, because the Joint needs more treez!

Thanks.

Still experimenting with trees.
