I may use that image, but judging by the comments, I will be redoing this.
Maybe bigger, better detailed leaves, with more realistic colors (not a black outline) and better leaf shapes?
Yes?

yesh sir :p

edit: and I'm far too lazy to do this properly, but you should be darkening the leaves as it goes further out, so it doesn't look so flat. the middle of the tree top is the highest point so it should be lighter.

I had a go at it.

Trying again, larger leaves.
I'll use the burn tool to shade it when I'm done

Stop working from the center. Work up about an inche.

Why wouldn't you work from the center?
From here it makes it easier to show the leaves overlapping, and slowly shrinking in size by the edge. Going from the edge would prove to be more difficult I would think

Somebody forgot that it's birds eye view, not the typical oblique graal view.

A tool which darkens a image, the term "burn" from the photographic printing process.

It's transparent. If the forum layout waas black, it'd have a black backround. This one however will have a green backround (grass) and some shading.

Well I dunno.
It is a quick, efficient way to shade things. I'm talking about doing a few pixles at a time, not just a blob of 100 pixles and dragging it across the image that'd look terrible ;)

The way I shaded your old tree took about 1 minute (if that's the look you're going for).
It's on the previous page.

2 examples, one no shading, the other with shading.
What do you think?

Do like Konidias said and start from the outside.

That doesn't make sence though, it would be harder to make the leaves look like they overlap then.

No, it should be easier - as you can stack them on top of one another. -_- :noob:

stacking!=overlapping

The one with shading looks more curved downwards on the sides, instead of flat like the non-shaded one.
I like the shaded one. :)

They will overlap unless you choose to be a smart ass and literally stack leaf images on top of one another.

It's not like working from the center out didn't work?

Yes, although It looks awkward.

Yeah. It still looks flat on top.
Trying using a decreasing marginal increment with your shading, so that it seems to get steeper the closer you get to the edges.
Like so -> (( ( ( ( ) ) ) ))

I like this one, but you ran into a bit of that scissor cutout problem again. Maybe breaking up the border a bit would help.
