The leaves are riddicilous big, use ALOT of small ones instead - I bet that alone would do wonders.

Maybe you could come up with something that will be better. That would be nice. I certainly think that if no one can make a better one than this. Then the one dayaa has made will work just fine. It looks good.

**Also I am sorry if I offended any current forest members, I was trying to limit the feed back from people that don't really play GK at all. Theres a few people that fit the description but I want to be nice. Also if you have any of your own revisions of this show us. Maybe we can get a few different styles to pick from in the future.

It might look better if the leaves were different shades of green. good idea, let us see if you decide to do this.

Several of things that might improve it:

* Why does all leave look exactly the same except the light source and rotation?
* Why are the leaves blurred?
* The leaves doesnt appear to be attached to the building at all.
* The design of the house itself doesnt fit together with leaves on top of it. Thats the main priority to change here.

Heres the real problem

* They look like jello!

** To answer any questions to as why the leaves look the way they do.

The "leaves" are actually leaf shaped tiles, hence the reason they are larger then a normal leaf. Unless you can make a better house image for the kingdom, this is what I would rather have us live in. Being inside the tree would do more harm to it.. as my RP would be of a wood elf.. I would think my character would be against even cutting them down. No matter how fat and ugly they were.

As for the original house shape, the story behind it would simply be that I was an architect at one time in the Pirates kingdom. If you have something against this, tough, its the past and I can't change that.

* By tiles I mean green tinted stone either magically made or formed or even carved out of wood. I don't care how you want to think of the tiles as its just to give you the idea that its NOT an actual tree your living in.

lol @ reviving a 5 month dead post.

Point is no matter how you justify it, they just didn't(don't) look good

Show me a better version of the house then what we currently have and I might actually listen. Otherwise you are just waisting time.

put the house on Daya... forest members will be happy that they don't live in trees anymore... who ever heard of an Orc that lived in a tree?
