And this is the new version.
Im quite happy with it so far, i've got some small touch ups to make and I'm still not sure of the style I want to go with on the trunk.
I spent almost all of yesterday working on a new version of a fall tree I made. This is the old version...

I think this thread can help. http://www.wayofthepixel.net/index.php?topic=14624.0 I would suggest a change of colors too.
|
A change of what colors? The grey red near the bottom? I've gotten feedback on that and its said it creates a glowing effect. I kind of like it buts in an easy enough change.
| |
I like the look of the leaves. The only problem I see is that the trunk looks too flat.
| |
I mean the crimson red. the colors aren't meant to be that..pure, unless thats what youre aiming for.
| |
I know its highly saturated, thats the point. I dont think a washed out version would be as striking.
 This is with the saturation tuned down. I dont think it makes it look any better. | |
I LOVE it! Wow, i realy like the style! Was this made for an upcoming game? Or just for fun?
| |
What Im trying to say is, if you search google for pictures of trees during fall season, you'll see that they are more colorful.
| |
Basicly he is saying you need orange,yellows and browns too.....leafs change from green to brown not shift from one day from green to red.
Adding some yellow orange and brown leave might make it look more autumn-ish. Also that trunk needs more work...but all in all not a bad tree. | |
Sorry for sticking my nose where it doesn't belong but anyways...
I usualy don't repond to posts like these where we get a tree but not the tiles around said tree. It is nearly impossible to say if it fits in the scene without the other tiles. So I will treat it as a stand alone piece. This piece's strongest point is deffinitely its folliage, kudo's to you on that! First, a small colour edit, why? Because I don't really like the red hue... so you could just ignore this one.  After having changed the hue we turn our attention to the trunk. Something is missing, what? the roots of course! Now you've made the stylistic choice to make the trunk of the tree quite small, considering the perspective of this piece, not a bad choice. But that also means the the roots will be vissible yet small. (excuse my poor descriptive english today) so perhaps it could look something like this?  Just some food for thought. | |
Okay, heres the grass that surrounds it. Its really bushy so small roots like that wont show up unless I faded the grass out for dirt around the trees.
 I started changing the colours of the leaves like was suggested. | |
You should consider possibly having some grass creep up the bottom of the tree, or maybe have a couple roots pop through the thick grass.
| |
I see your point, do you think a shadow cast by the player would alleviate this, or just have the player immune to the shadow of the tree?
| |
It's a layering/depth of view issue. Your guy shouldn't be hit by shadow there because the shadow is behind him, but because everything is using a flat x/y axis, it is sitting on top of him. Pick his layer based on his bottom section. See world.view and sideview maps.
| |
I didnt want to post a new topic, im just wondering if people prefer this grass to the old bushy look.

1. Your character is really scary ;~;
2. The tree leaves look really amazing 3. Your tree trunk looks like it shouldn't be able to support that many leaves/branches o___O 4. The orange clusters make themselves look out of place  Studying this photo there are a lot of oranges, reds, yellows and still some greens. About the grass I liked the edges of the old grass a lot better than the newer one. Though I think the old one was a bit noisy :P The new one looks good but lacks depth which makes the grass look a little boring. (A lot like Rise of the Pirates tiles, they are really boring to look at.) | |
I rather like the new grass instead. Simple yet effective. good job.
I would suggest studying the picture Atlas posted. It was what I was trying to get you to do lol. Anyways, good luck and keep us posted! | |
