It's looking like a nice addition, but my main gripe is that it's too symmetrical, whereas the big main tree totally isn't.

I know the shading isn't so hot, I haven't done any pixel art in forever. This is just an idea, trying to make a little tree that is asymmetrical, like that big one. I tried to do the scanline pattern too, but it looked stupid at such a small size.

I actually happen to like it and find the larger tree too curvy.

How about making the 'strightness' more of a feature with the trunk widening near the base

Not happy with the last brown chunk but you get the idea

Indeed I do. Very nice Matwek!
Perhaps someone can come along and beautify the leaves, and we'll have another glorious piece of art?

I'm actually liking the new tree more then the previous one 
Sure, it's rough and needs some fixing, but this tree has, due to it's particles in the trunk, an adaptable height.
The other tree is beautiful pixelwork of course :P

The smaller tree would work better on the sandy part of the level, then as you progress into thicker vegetation the big tree is more suited.

The idea was that this palmtree wouldn't catch too much attention, be something more like a post, like GHZ's totems.
Tomorrow I'll give you guys a better non-too-much-spheric version

I figured that palmtrees are so ubiquitous that it'd go unnoticed in a beach environment anyway.

Shields used from Sonic 3 cause... well, let's face it, they're perfect.
