The Background:
Hello,
I am almost done creating an MMORPG I have been working on for a year and I have come to a problem where I can't figure out how to draw a tree for my game that fits the style. I'm not a good artist and I would really appreciate a spriter to analyze the style of my game and create a single tree.

The Game:
The game I'm making is called Acedia and its like playing gameboy advance except multiplayer.
The story takes place in a post-apocalytic world where all the modern buildings have been destroyed and new forests have taken their place. Human's have also degenerated back to the sword and shield era.
I have already created the game engine and all I'm doing now is creating the world, quests, terrain.
The tiles in the game are 16 pixels by 16 pixels.

The Tools:
I have already created the terrain editor for my game using flash and I will give everyone public access to use it in the following link:
http://acedia.asodar.com/control/terrain/
Please type the number 67 in the box as the subserver id#.
After the editor has loaded, use the arrow keys to observe the game style.
I have also posted a screen shot incase you do not have flash installed:

The Task:
Image description:
A green tree that can be used for a forest and standalone following the same genre/style as the given link and picture.
Size in pixels (width and height):
48x64 px or 32x64 px
again tile sizes are 16x16 px
If you think you have a really good idea for a tree and it requires more space then you can use more tiles but please don't make anything larger than the house.
Image format:
.png format
transparency and alpha is allowed and is mandatory.
Image type:
Again, use the picture as a guide and make sure it fits/looks good if you put it in the picture.
Facing direction or pose:
The tree should be standing upright with a shadow directly under it as if the sun were directly above the tree. Or at noon.
Style:
Use the image as reference. I was going for a zelda/pokemon look. The game is going to try to keep proportions realistic so the tree should make sense in respect to the house and the character.
Animation:
No animating.
Pay:
Sorry, no pay, but I can put you on the credits list. I can put your username, full real name, your logo, or a link to your website on the credits.

The additional information
I know I'm kind of being a bit vague about the tree, but I'm really stumped on what the tree should look like. I looked at numerous trees that all looked cool but they didn't fit the style. Please use your best judgment to help me create this tree. The tree is an important part of this game and I want you to be apart of it. I think the main thing is that the tree should look good in mass to replicate a forest and alone.
Here are some trees that I looked at so you can get a hint at what I am thinking.
http://asodar.com/p/bradosia/tree1.png - not green enough
http://asodar.com/p/bradosia/tree2.png - didn't look right when i put it in the game
http://asodar.com/p/bradosia/tree3.png - too bright and jungle looking.
http://asodar.com/p/bradosia/tree4.png - too sad looking
http://asodar.com/p/bradosia/tree5.png - too cartoony
http://asodar.com/p/bradosia/tree6.png
http://asodar.com/p/bradosia/tree7.png - I like this tree but hmmm

The Summary:
Sorry, I know I posted a lot so here is the main request.
- A green tree that fits the style of the screenshot above.

Thanks for reading/considering this. This tree problem is one of the few problems keeping me from finished the game. Your help is greatly appreciated. If you need any additional information about the tree or the game please feel free to ask. I am committed to this.
