I can't remember exactly where I found the source images, but the base of this tree, as well as the very early Global wood bridge to the mushroom entrance was photo mashed with the very top, post Chaos Stats's rolling and character creation level of this tree, were all combined into what we see here.

Things look washed out due to the source images being small jpegs and I did what I could with them. And I get it that this looks like something AI would hash out but this is something a human did... for what seemed like a fun side project. xD

If anything there was a BIG gap on the left side of the tree that needed painting out, and this was the excuse for me to mess around with Krita's painting brushes mixed with careful Clone Brush usage. That gap was sky colored, and I can't say for certain if this was intentional or just sloppy image hashing from whomever clipped the various screens and posted to maple forums.

The stuff I pixel bashed into the image would be the top character creation sign, the character selection sign on the middle bridge, and the ground floor Login signs as well as clone brush out artifacts and blemishes to fill out that sky blue portion of the tree on the left of this image.

This was a fun first image post for 2026 to make!

Credits will be hunted down from my tall stack of browser bookmarks, but most of the image hashing was done by  NezumiYuki the 4EverNoob MapleStory fanatic! xD
