New Tree Design!

This is just one variation, but I'm planing on making it loopable, a leaf version, stumps, nots, different bases. This is just a sample, so I can get some feed back.

Here's a loopable version. More progress soon.

Can I have an example inside the level? I thnk it should work, design-wise, but I just wanna make sure.

In game view.

These might come in handy too.

And a whole new tree. You can raise or lower the leaves to make the tree taller or shorter.

It looks great! :) :) :) Maybe we could add this alongside the old one, because I still like the old one a little bit, too, and the old one seems more loopable, but I do really like this tree! :) :) :) I really like your boulders, too!

The first one I made was intended to be loopable, however this one wasn't.

All the branches for the right side of the trees.

Look at all the different kinds of things they can be used for.

Now you can have even taller trees.

Do you think these match the art style enough?

I think they match the art style only a small bit. While they do look great, the art style is different from the game, seen as these are more detailed and the tree may be too bright in contrast to the game's colors. But I'm not one of the devs, so I dunno...

I'd really like to see what y'all think of 'em. Feedback is appreciated, negative and positive alike.

YES. I love this, it looks so much better than the old blurry ones. I love the way the leaves look, and the sheer amount of variety the trees have.
I think it'd look even better if you made the outline on the trunks a smidge thinner and outlined the leaves too.
Here's a picture I found of a forest mock-up by Grumbel, which I think could help you closer match the style / shape / colouring of the trees.

Side note: I'd be really happy if you could possibly redesign the forest background and/or ground tiles as well if you have the time.

Hey, are these planned to be tiles or decals? Because if you want them being tiles, I can help make them into tile format.

I think tiles would be the better option, because then you can customize the trees and arrange the tiles as needed.

The first tree would be used as tiles, but the second and third trees wouldn't be, since they aren't loopable.

I really enjoy these trees but I have only 2 nitpicks:

1. The wood should really be a little darker, but that can maybe be another variant or something.

2. The leaves don't seem to match the art style of the wood at all. When I tested them out as decals in-game, I thought this was kinda weird. I just don't think the leaves really match the wood.

Fair enough. I'm not that good drawing leaves in the supertux art style. I was not quite sure how to detail them.

The style of the game is not fixed. Do it in the style you think they could/should be. It may be better. The art style of the game is basically as-is because it was quick for Grumbel to sketch out the art that way, not because it was some thorough design process.

I don't mean they don't fit the game's artstyle, they just don't fit the art style of the trunks and stuff BlasterMaster has made.
