This mockup piece is based on great Marco Vale's tutorial.
I used the v18 of the 16 colors palette from Arne.

I've not finished it yet (since it's a WIP ), but any C&C would be welcome.

Some better definition between grass and sky would be good.  Try lowering the saturation of the grass and/or darkening up the lower portion of the sky.

In fact, I want to use the strict palette to give Arne some mockups with it. I'll try to use another blue, and the sky is really not finished.
Further, I'll try to break the vertical line which, I think, is not good.

Omegavolt, I thought about your crit and tried to exchange sky color with the other blue. I think this is better now.
Fixed the bad vertical line which broke my tile.
And finally, I've tried something on the sky, but I'm not happy with it...

try putting in more dither patters to make a smooth transition... I'd made you an edit but I lost it at the end (Grr!)  anyway, just start the dither lower to the ground and then use a lot of patterns to smooth it out


edit: oh well, dither is fun, so I did it again:

I like the middle one the most

Remember, a clear sky is always darkest near the top, because there is less atmosphere in a space perpendicular to the earth than there is across the surface.
