I get the lesson but your examples or whose they were look kinda bleh.

I wasn't all that busy today, but really uninspired! I have no idea what I should pixel..
Anyways I quickly redid the tree for a bit better of a perspective, thanks Elk and Mykel. :)

I don't see what's different o.o...

Hm. 1 sec and I'll try to see. I think it has to do with the tree leaves.

Also where's my treant? :<

I tried to expand the back of the canopy.. I really, really, hate trees. they have such an evil tendency to be out of perspective...x_x

sorry I keep editing your stuff D: I'm bored...

My opinion I guess, but if you can't keep the tree straight, try to keep it still bushy. (unless it's dead tree.)

Also try and keep the trunk shorter than the length of the leaves because you're seeing this from sorta a top down view slightly, while the view you have is directly from the side.

Also, treant o.o

Thank you :D

Why'd you sketch on a sesame seed bun?

Well, I set out to make this with the idea of an unusually bent, tall, skinny, tree. I guess it just doesn't work well in this perspective. It is the second tree I have made, so I guess it might just take a few more tries to get a proper tree.
Also, epic treant!

Sooo I've been playing Cave Story lately...

Yea, here is what I did today.. Also, I'm unsure of how to do backgrounds...

With such perspective, I suggest making a rather big spiky cave environment in the background.
You could take exemple on maplestory's ant cave

I really like it, some stalactites and stalagmites in the background would look good.

I once made something in 2005 or 06 or so...maybe it helps

Ugh I hate water caps... Also I'll need to redo these Characters lol..

Very nice, For that water I'd suggest moving up to where the rock above it uses the underwater cave ceiling and then just having that little opening have the water cap...or just remove the L shaped bend all together
