Vine Stuff
Some trees in Stranded III will haves vines so I prepared some textures for that:

I used these new textures to make a palm tree variation with two small vines. It's not just a copy of the existing palm tree. I rearranged all palm fronds and modified the trunk as well to make it look more different:

The palm frond texture can also be recycled for new bushes:

Aaand another new plant: Aloe vera! You'll probably be able to speedup wound healing with it and it will help to decrease the risk of infections when you have open wounds and use it.

Fish
Moreover I created a fish model after seeing a lot of those during my visit of the Tropen-Aquarium Hagenbeck in Hamburg today:

Right, it's a blue tang (aka regal tang, palette surgeonfish or paracanthurus hepatus). The most famous instance of this species is probably Dory from the Disney Pixar movie Finding Nemo.
I just created the model so far. The texture is currently a photo from the internet but it will be replaced with a hand-drawn texture later.
