Hey guys!

I recently started pixeling stuff with the Pyxel Editor. Here are some trees i made for an rpg i'm planning in the future. I'm looking forward for criticism and improvement suggestions. :-)

Hi cbrgm

Interesting looking pieces you've got there. A few things though. When I zoom in on your trees, they have a lot of artifacts going on as if they had been saved with compression, which is weird considering they're gifs. Could you please try uploading them as png or is it an intentional effect? When that's said, I like the base colors you used for the leafs. The shading on the trunk however is hard to separate from base color.

Hey CandyFace!

Thanks for your reply!
Oh well, I think the artifacts happened because i scaled the original image. I also animated all trees, so that it looks like they are moving in the wind.

I try to enhance the shadow a little bit, maybe it's it looks better then :smile:

Cheers

I like their shapes ! They seems realstics.
But a bit flat in color isn't it ? It lacks a bit of contrast...
