While they may or may not be used in terms of the gameplay mechanics, the trees themselves are still a very important part of the game. I was lucky enough to find a tutorial on the internet (finally). And came up with this. What I'm mainly talking about is the trunk of course. I think the method is okay. And I'm almost ready to add some highlights to the tree because of it. I just think that using a different palette would help.
Maybe change the texture a bit as well. And yes, it has too much, what do you use again? Oh, that's right, contrast. Icky bright contrast making it hard to look at. I feel like giving a tip here concerning Graphics Gale. (Wonderful program. Google it, download it, use it.) I was able to do most of the shading via the color replace tool. Simply select the the color you want to draw. Switch colors, then select the one you want to replace. Then switch again. Very handy little feature.
