Cherry blossom forest - biomes and foliage - Ghost of Yōtei

I was the biome owner of the cherry blossom forest in the Oshima Coast section of Ghost of Yōtei. My main responsibilities here where figuring out the types of foliage to use and working with art direction on the color palette. This included setting up growth expressions for the foliage and groundcover, as well as asset creation for the trees.
The foliage work is a team effort, so huge thanks to my fellow biome artists for all their help!
