Thanx mate, i used Photstudio 5.5 and my imagination. I like to use textures or photographs to create realistic graphics, but i was struggling to take ariel shots of trees (since i cannot fly!) so made these bad-boys up from scratch.

Nice mark. It's easy when you have a bucket load of textures. Still, here's a redo of what i posted. Does it pass?

Maybe it'll look better if i work on the trunk a bit.

Much too contrasting there, lessen the highlights, make it look more sphere-ish too. Add some kind of casting light so it's not at 1 brightness.

I think it's pretty good actually. It could do with a bit less contrast though.

The only thing I don't like about it, is that you're trying much to harder to give each leaf depth and shape. You're not giving anywhere near the whole tree as a whole any shading at all.

I saw in a sprite artist tutorial a while back, a good technique to use when making tree's. So I'm not taking credit for this idea, but it's worked great for me.

Try creating 3D spheres or even large spheres with a gradient to them, and place them over the tree. This will give you a general idea of how you can shade it.

This is only a guide though to help you shade the whole tree as a whole, rather then just the independent leaves.

Incidently, no textures were harmed in the making of my trees!

I forgot to put a light source in, so it's really nothing but a bunch of spheres with the light source at the camera, but I seriously hope I don't need to spell out why my idea would be useful. Ugh.

I would post a tree I made, but image shack is always buggy. I can't upload it. So maybe later.

Anyone else got any trees they wanna show? We should do this with other common objects too; very interesting to see what people come up with. All of these trees appear good in their own way and i would imagine the same would be said for other subjects too.
