They're coming from the tree's, man!

Making this for a tileset for a newish server :o

Im sorta stuck with what to do with it right now, not to mention I'm horrible at working with textures (the trunk o.o!)

Anyone have suggestions? x3

I know that the bottom layer of leaves look funny too.

You need to give the top of the tree more shape. For example, gradually making the leaves lighters as you geto the top centre. Otherwise, looking good

I've browsed a lot of the work around here and everyone is falling into the same pitfalls : Contrast. You've gotta be more confident with the jumps between colours.
Heres an example i hope you did not mind me editing! It's not neceassarily any better than yours but is mainly showing what contrast can do to bring it off the flat environment a bit more.

Contrast also lays in the trunk. I've added a highlight to the canopy however which detracts from the amount of contrast played on the trunk.

Why is that a big deal? If it looks nice, I don't see why colors matter. Then again, I know nothing about graphic design.

~6kb vs ~26kb, I think. Then again I agree, it's almost 2010...we're almost all on broadband.
