Hello everyone! This is some tiles that I just made. I'd love to have some advice or some critics about these tiles and how do I improve this?  |

Very nice. I would make the outline of the mushrooms a little greenier. The mushrooms are nice, but maybe you can enhance a little more the shape. And maybe, to my taste there's too much blue component on the dirt color. |

| Looks good, but your grass should take a lesson from the dirt - simple is better, especially if you're making a tileset! You don't want unnecessary detail to distract your player. I also think the yellowness of the objects in the grass is a bit at odds with the blue, nightish atmosphere these colors create; I'd make them a little less desaturated, and move those light rocks closer to a blue-gray. |

The grass and dirt look good, but they don't belong together, the styles are too different. If these tiles are for a game, then I think you might have too much contrast, the characters are likely to get lost in the background. |

Thank you all for the feedback! Here's the update I added more texture to the dirt and I reduce the contrast of the lit grass.  |

Now the grass looks blobby because the highlight colour blends into the next lighter colour. I think if you're aiming for reducing the contrast only through colour changes, then every single colour has to be adjusted to make sure that the individual colours still contribute. I think the new dirt tiles fit the grass better in terms of detail level, but I think now it feels out of place because of the texture. You have lush grass and a humid colour scheme and dry, cracked dirt. |

I'd agree that the dirt looks too dry for the lush grass... but it is a very good texture, I'd save that and reuse it elsewhere! If the grass were yellow and withered, and in sparser patches, then it would fit in nicely. |
