Wow, lookin' good. are you some kind of pixelart wizard or something? LOL :)
@samuncle: Here's a gif for the coniferous canopy I built, as well as written instructions. If you want to use the design:
Step 1: Place down your interior tiles in the shape you e=want your canopy to be. Allot a few less blocks than the entire canopy will be, to allow for tree placement.
Step 2: Begining on layer four, place down your first layer of coniferous trees around your interior tiles.
Step 3: On layer five, repeat step four, placing the trees so they overlap the others.
Step 4: On layer six, repeat the process so that the trees form a solid wall with no holes. Another layer may be needed.
Step 5: Erase the trunks of the trees on the top of the canopy area, so that the trunks are no longer over the interior tiles.
Step 6: Place the sapling tiles around the trees facing in. Use layer seven or eight on top, but use layer three on bottom so that the border is behind the trees, just peeking out.
Step 7: Using the center part of the pine tree used for the walls, cover over any trunks you may have missed on the top, not the bottom.
Step 7: Using layer 2 on top and layer eight or nine on the bottom, mix in a variety of trees to make the canopy look more natural.
Step 8: Admire your haniwork! :)
Hope this helped! :) PS. I included the tile I used for the interior tiles below.
Ok, I see. I looked at the conifers pack, and there's nothing that's easily modular like the trees above. I'll think about it and see if I can come up with anything.
@bluecarrot16:
Do you know of anything modular that could work?
[Edit]
I looked back over bluecarrot's conifers pack, and found that the tileable saplings he had made a pretty good border for larger trees. After toying with the shape a bit, this is what I came up with:
Ok, I see what you mean. So something like this? I just threw it together in Tiled, with some more work, (like eliminating shadows and better edges for the top,) it could work well enough for the game.
@bluecarrot: Ok, I didn't realize that. Thanks for the tip. :)
I agree. I've found success using the large tree in your tree packs for a canopy, bluecarrot. I made tilestamps of the tree, and the upper half containing the leaves. Then using ten layers or so I can layer the trunks along the bottom, then just stack the leaves up to the desired height.
@samuncle I put a gif below so you could see how it works. Unless you want to stick with pure LPC, as the tree is in a slightly different style, I'd recommend this method, it's both easy and looks good. :)
Wow! Those look great, bluecarrot16, I can't wait for the full releases! Are the manequins from the taylor set compatible with the LPC clothing? They'd be really neat for a shop I have planned for my game. Also, is the sideways ship planned to have verical and horizantal versions? It would be really great if that beauty could actually sail around. :)
Ok. It looks like you have a vector style. I found this asset here that might work.

Wow Medicinestorm! I think we got to this one at the exact same time! :)
Yeah, no image for me either. It may be a bad translation if he speaks a different language too.

There's the coal in this pack here. It's in LPC style and is professionaly done.

Ok, awesome! When I have more time I'll send you a gif with how I did it. :)
