Wow, that tree is... awesome! Tremendous improvement! I agree that the trunk and branches should be built up a little more.

Yes, a big improvement! The shading under her dress is much better, and reflection of the fire looks good, too, except over her chest, it looks like a rip, not sure it that was intentional. The smoke seems sufficiently smokey to me
For better contrast, just keep experimenting with different combos of colors until you find something you like.
I'm hoping that someone would edit this to give you a good reference.
Keep it up, I'd love to see another update soon.

Pixel Art / Re: [WIP] tree, anyway to improve it?

Flat, no, but the shading of the green is very random and unnatural. Look at some references of trees (from that thread I linked or other) and try to imagine light hitting the tree. It'll come out looking more natural. Also, the brightest color clashes with the others.
Trees are hard.

Lots of people spriting trees these days!
I'm no good at trees, but I hope this gives you an idea of what to do.
Also, check this thread out.

Looking pretty good--great form! I think there could be a greater contrast regarding the colors, and the woman's face needs more definition.
Try red and yellowish shades for the reflection of the fire.

I think that round bubbly foliage would be cute (something in between the original and heyy's first edit) in a quirky way, but then it wouldn't work with the realistically rendered trunk. If realistic is the way you wanna go, heyy's edit is a good example of pixeling a tree using the tsugumo model (what i got out of it was to draw a bush and c+p all over the trunk, which... yeah xD)

@ndchristie: For the blonde girl, the perspective is somewhere between front and 3/4 (though the crit still applies a bit. The two that are 3/4, yeah they look a little out of perspective.
@Helm: Michael Jackson nose, gah! Good catch with the ears and neck-- my anatomy isn't this bad, I swear! Pixel art is a whole different area I guess... yeah, that's it!
A tentative update on the last one. The others are gonna be worked on throughout the next week.

Trees... ack, who hasn't struggled with these? The palette is good!The pattern of the leaves is asymmetrical (good) but a little strange in places, particularly the lower right side. The shading over all makes them look like a blanket draped over the tree, rather than leaves growing out of it. Try more natural shapes.
Grass looks good. Clouds could use some work, but I'm not unable to say what about them seems 'off'.
I hope you continue working on this; I still haven't made a tree I'm happy with.

Started working on another one last night:

2006 2007 (PI edit) 2009
I wanted her skin to be so pale as to have a bluish cast, but I ended up with this:
... which I didn't like, so I went with fleshier colors (but kept the purple colors).
Also made up minor tweaks to the purple-haired guy:
Any ideas or crits?

Have to back up the previous posts; the feathers are gorgeous. Like you said, you started off with an eye and it grew from there, so it looks kind of out-of-place in this piece. A more realistic eagle eye like in Sm.'s pic qould work better. Also, perhaps the feathers around the eye and nose shouldn't be so dense.
In any case, this doesn't look like the work of someone who's been out of practice for a year--Great work!
