Very nice..

The dithering on the "monster" and on flowers are nice...

The shadowed plant and the grass are much less beautiful.

There's many different techniques, so the picture seems a bit "strange", but it works well...

You've got a great thing going here but that type has got to be reworked.  It just doesn't fit.

in the sun flower... thanks for the crits (keep 'em coming!)!

I guess it's a tower.. or something..

some brick structure....

why, what does it look like?  if it's hard to figure it out, I might have
to change it up a bit.

update:

Sorry about all the double posting.. hope it isn't much of an issue.

I ADDED roots and more dirt shading... that sort of thing, you know.

The building-thingy definitely needs some work. It's far too repetitive at the moment, maybe add... some medieval archer slits in the wall... or battle damage or something (I think it looks like a castle).

I thought it was an oddly-done apartment building
you thought it was a castle
it clearly needs some clarification!

I kind of wanted it that way..

if anything, I'll add some misplaced bricks, but nothing like an arch.

I looks great, but I just noticed: the shadow on the brick tower is very sharp, but the shadow on the dirt at the bottom [being cast by the grass] is very blurred with all that dithering. The former represents direct light from the sun, but the latter conjures up the illusion of an overcast day. Also, to make the tower look more natural, perhaps you should add little tufts of grass brushing up agaist the bricks right at the bottom of the tower. Great work so far, though
