Yes, grass has too much detail, but mostly it has the wrong kind of detail. It looks more like leaves; and why is it resized x2? Same question for the trees, they obviously have a rresizing issue.
The perspective is inconsistent between trees/rocks (45° top view), shell (top down), and sprites (side view).
This piece would benefit from help at the WIP forum I think ;)
Looking at it again, I would say the grass probably does have too much detail compared to everything else.
I think this, this, and this (click images for larger views) are good examples of grass, tree, and water details that are present enough to show what it is but isn't overdone.
I agree, but considering the graphics of the creatures, is there too much detail in the grass or does it fit well?
Considering how much detail is in the grass, I think the sand and water should have a lot more detail to match.
You're right Manupix, I will check out the WIP-forum and hang out there and hopefully level up my skills.
