Big Tree

[Saphy]

Hi people,

Long time no see. I was away in from home for the last year, so I didn't have the resource to draw up more pixel arts. However, now that I am back, I see that a few of my plants are in used in the swamp area. They definitely need polish, some of the plants are blurred as if someone resized them, but when I compared it with my file, the size is that same. For example:


Is it blurred to make it fit the background more? If that's the case, I think we can do something better by for example, tuning the colour, or we can edit it manually.

I also noticed the big tree is added to the swamp. As have been discussed before, it does look strange without a top. So here I drafted a foliage for the tree:



We can make tree top 50% transparent, or only the leaves 50% transparent. But the trunk itself is quite big as well. So... any suggestion?

I believe they did that in an attempt to make it fit with the surrounding foliage (after butchering the forest set)

I don't think the two tile-sets merged well

I see. What about the big tree. Is it too big? Unlike the last tree I created, I fall back to drawing leaves one by one because my grandma said that previous the tree I made look more like fur ball on a stick then a tree.

I like the leaves of the big tree. I always thought it looked terrible without a top on it.

Agree with leaves... But the downiest part of tree was taken from the made tree...

Hi Saphy, nice to see you again.

I am not sure how the blurred ones got ingame. The unblurred look much better in my opinion. Can you please post the graphics without background so that we can replace them?

[Saphy]

Sure. It is actually on my photobucket account (http://s143.photobucket.com/albums/r156/SnEptUne/), the colour may need some adjustment.





Since I don't see any complain, I will start working out the detail in the big tree.

Here's what the skeleton looks like:

Looks like the tree was ripped in half (the green leaves on the base should probably be removed or recolored to make them look dead)

[Saphy]

Actually, it wasn't intended to be use in the game, but that's a good point. Too bad, I drew the leaves on the wrong layer and now it is hard to remove, but I can remove them.

Okay, I have removed the leaves:



And with vines and shadows:

Hi Saphy,

If you don't mind, I will probably use it in my tileset.
May I ?



This possible answer scare me:

@Saphy: Looks great, Saphy!

@IranMorve: I think she'll let you.
