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... ------------- Jujucece |

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

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 was minding my own business and walking across a pebbled path, and a Duck started giving me the business." |

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
