pixel forest [WIP]

[PypeBros]

Hello there. I'm trying to create a background for a forest level in a cartoony platformer. I'm drawing inspiration (and palette) from DK:King of Swing background. I haven't put much detail atm, so maybe there isn't much comment to do, but i'm open to your suggestions & critique.

PS: i usually do pixel art in small 16x16 grids (32x32 very occasionally ;-), so this is my first attempt at something sufficiently big -- a sort of draft i intend to refine later.

I think you should make sure its tileable first. Once that's done you can focus on details and stuff.

And if you're just gonna use this one shot, I think you should make the tree not to stand out so much. Maybe loosen the lower branches and put in some bushes?
