the Health-life hearts look very blurry i'd lose some aa colors there.
the mud-grass transition looks great now, but im not feeling the random circle approach to the texture.
One question about the sword slash, why blue and yellow?
The only problem with the path is it is over textured compared to everything else. Keep the curve of the path, It adds to the fun feel of everything. As for where the grass meets the dirt, it currently looks like tire marks because of it's detail. Decrees the amount of overlapping grass.not at all, i think she's practically nailed it...
. It just doesnt go haha. Jace is right about the grass too. I'm working on both right now 
sorta OT now but the red lines indicate the parts of the mockup I edited.
Hard for me to see with this monitor, the colors are quite off.
I plan on fixing all the colors once I get onto a different computer.
. Makes sense then haha. My old computer/monitor buggered colours aswell
. I agree with Adam though in that they could use some Colour Ramping and definitely some contrast, especially in your last one there. There's a lot of detail being lost in the optimus b/c all the colours just kind of wash together unless you stare at it.
I, for one, like the trees. Although they look a bit too organic (which isn't really a bad thing at all!--But in this particular style, it should matter.), they could still pass off as cute trees if you lighten up the shades that define the square-shaped bushes. The problem with doing something that's not truly symmetric is that you'll have to do other trees with different "tumour" (bush) arrangements to grant its style verosimilitude. Other than that, the roots are the only thing that bothers me. Maybe, should you make the trunk-length bigger (and thus letting us see further trunk), it'll do it more justice. Otherwise, you could just as well remove half their presence and shade them with dark brown and we wouldn't notice them as much. If the latter appeals you, perhaps, too, add small roots coming out and in again from the ground, farther away from the tree.
I don't think non-symetric trees would be a good idea in a game that uses alot of flipped tiles and has a simple look. I preferred the second type of tree but thought the trunk is really lacking detail. They look more like poles going up rather than roots extending from the trunk. I think if they were redone, that tree would look good.
New tree - good in principle, lacking in realization. This style will benefit from making the shapes round and appealing, even though that isn't very treeish, because the tree already isn't very treeish and there's no need to weaken the thing by being neither this nor that.
Are you sure you really need 4x4 tile trees though? Have you considered making connectable tree mass you can shape by smaller tiles?
Helm has a very good point that warrants repeating. Zelda's trees are pretty and all, but Chaos Engine's trees look infinitely more tree-ish.
Dusty what you mean is correct, but why make a clone which contain certain "rules" when you can make something original and better. maybe he can combine the old trees with the trees posted by Helm.
Well, not really. I mean, the basic shape you have there doesn't resemble a tree. I mean, I know trees are "in no way [uniform]" but...Well, it looks like this is just a ball of lumpy clay that's been flattened, whereas treetops bear more resemblance to, I dunno, say...Treetops? (I'm terribly sorry, I can't think of a good example.) Like...layers. Yeah, that's it. Trees have different layers. like, layers to cast shadows on layers beneath and...umm...
I think this recent thread has a good example: http://www.wayofthepixel.net/pixelation/index.php?topic=4727.0. I mean, the tree (in the aforementioned thread) has clumps, sure, but not lumps. Eurrrg, I'm being very unhelpful aren't I?
Mmmmm...I think I'll let someone more able to articulate what they mean critique this.
deffinitely looks much better than mine. It almost looks like a big hole now though rather than stairs.
something like this for the stairs, perhaps?
Bleuwassstaaahhh???
Erm, sorry.
What I meant was that new tree looks like a gathering of tumors or something. I mean...I mean...that doesn't even really look like a tree. I think you should just like, start from complete scratch...well, I mean, it looks like you already did, but I think more like some redesigns of the fundamental treeeness. I mean, you can still see aspects of the ol' tree that carried over (and not just the squatness, but the complete and utter flatness of the top, like someone ironed it down or something.) I think the trunk is...flecgh, as well. I think a squat treetrunk would be groovy.
Its not immediately apparent that the push rock was pushed. It still looks, to me, like the stairs go down into a building rather than the earth. Maybe some grass on the scrape-marks rather than that straight brown you have now...?
Anyway, yeah, lookin' cool. I 'specially like the wawa.
And I keep thinking the cliff is a fence for some reason.
