that a powerline pole? if not, lose the mechanically vertical lines (the horizontal ones on the "limbs" need to go to. as well as how unnatural straight the limbs are)

why isn't the grass green?

and commadnerD97, this forum is for giving input on a piece in order to help the artist improve it, not whether or not you like it.

Stealing colors from someone isn't the best thing to do you know, especially without their permission. The tree looks way to unnaturally straight. Good strart.

Well, even jalonso said that it's okay to use colors from someone's work.

I never said it wasn't ok, its just looked down upon by some users. You should always ask the creator before you steal colors.

"even jalonso"... so it was written by the gods of pixel art!
I personally am against it and I don't see why anyone wouldn't credit an artist if they use their intellectual property. it's also hinders your learning of appropriate color theory and palette selection.
