Please enlarge. My version on the left; original on the right. More screenshot pairs under the cut.
At some point I couldn't stand looking at the plant textures anymore, because they weren't recognisable. So I retextured some of them such that I can actually make out what I'm looking at. I decided that it should give me pleasure to look at every time I play; and now it does. I did it at a bit higher of a pixel count, to give myself room to work; but I wanted it to still go along with the non-retextured parts.
I realised that I don't think I have shown you any pixel art I have done before. I don't use this medium too often, because if I do too much of it, it is liable to hurt my hand; but it's alright, I enjoy it when I do use it. And as long as I'm careful, it is a medium I would be willing to take a commission in.
Above, you can see some of the smaller default plants. You can also see the trunk of an iron tree from the Mineral Trees module, and, further away, a default blueberry bush.
Some of the mineral trees: I made the iron tree be a mugga ironbark, and I made the copper tree be a copper beech. I did not choose these for their names (English isn't my native language), but because I tried to imagine what woody plants would have a suitable appearance. Not all of the mineral trees match the name like that.
The default uh... default-tree. I decided that since apples grow on it, it has to be an apple tree. I only did the foliage and not the bark or fruit for this one, so far. You can also see a diamond block; there are only a few non-plant blocks I retextured, but the diamond block was one of them, because I couldn't stand that it looked like a blue plastic box.
The gravel was also such a non-plant block I retextured. The way that it looks now, I enjoy the thought of walking barefoot on these pebbles, and though the sound is not different, I now frequently walk over them just to walk over them.
These are all the screenshots I have for you this time. Maybe I will show you more of the textures I made in a later post, if you are interested.
If you want, it would be really sweet if you will send to me your suggestions for what hair (hair name with creator’s name pls) i should retexture in next time
