This is made using some custom software I've been tweaking for the past year or so with Claude. It is almost all generative and has a ton of sliders and parameters, but I usually make the actual branches of the tree by hand because I wasn't loving some of the more generative systems. You can see a quick time lapse of how i made these here: https://x.com/laserpilot/status/2113112843495051516?s=20

I'm working on adding some more environmental elements like clouds and some other surreal elements, and then I'm going to work a bit more on leaf texture and outlines. I haven't done too much with pen exploration yet, but I want to eventually get some light/dark shadows working

I've been looking for a good tree generator to make believable trees to generate sprites. Will you be sharing this publicly in the future?

I've definitely considered it - it's mostly that its so specific to my workflow that I feel like others would have a hard time getting into it. I'm also starting to add some elements into it that will make it harder to share - that said, it's definitely way easier today to make a tool like this than it was even a year ago. I had some real ugly trees in january.
