| You show 4 shades of green in your palette but I only see 3 in the picture. Make them more contrasting. I like the shading on the mountains, they look nice. The water I don't like. Not sure what it is. Maybe it's the dithering? Also there are no beach front's at the ocean not very often do you see that. If you do it's usually rocks opposing the water. Grass would get washed away. I would also suggestion doing less dithering on the clouds. Overall it looks nice, waiting for the update. |

| Yep, now maybe add a few trees and you will be in business. How about fading the sky into a lighter shade as it gets closer to the horizon? |

| better, don't dither the horizon, makes it look like there is no sky just water. Also flip the sky colors upside down so that the brightest one is touching the darkest part of the ocean. It give it more contrast and is easier to see. Quck updates :) |

Heh, okay ^^ No dither? Thought it would make it smoother ^^ Edit: I tried removing the dithering, but it looked bad. So here it is, with dithering.  |

| Great stuff. It seems like only I'm responding but you keep updating so I'm going to keep responding. It look much better now. How about some more details? Maybe a goat on the mountain? A hut? Birds in the tree? Sea monster? |

Hello thar, the mountains are great thus far but you need to work on the water and island parts. The dark shading behind the white falls of water make it "pop" out a bit too much. Try looking at some island reference and keep up the good work! |

| I would also make the beach in the front some bigger, cause it is closer to you (my advice, kill some of the green because the island looks like it's tilting a bit - while the mountains are not). It might give it some more depth. |

| So, I'm going to kill some green, make the water better, and make the beach larger in the front ^^ Thank you all ^_^ |

the line of the horizont is killing me. from the aerial perspective that i believe you're trying to achieve, it should look something like this ------------- I ate leel's babies |
