Decided to have another go at NES things, and so I started a cave mockup. I think I'm getting the hang of platform tiles, but I still need to add more things to make the environment interesting, and that's what I need help with. I'm not sure what else to add besides variations of the rocks, although I want to have a kind of transition between the black inside of the cave and a blue sky (same palette as the waterfall). Any help with this would be great :)
Tileset thus far -

If what I wrote about the cave-sky transition is hard to understand, what I had in mind was something along the lines of the darker bushes in Indigo's mockup - http://www.danfessler.com/portfolio/pixelart/skid_mock4.png

I'd keep the opening of the cave simple: just a silhouette with stalactites/gmites.
For interest you could add evidence of use, mining paraphenalia, ruins of ancient civilizations, skeletal remains of gigantic beasts, etc.

Thanks Surt, that mockup gives me some ideas. At what point do you start copying and pasting the stuff together as a scene? Added some more tiles and edited a couple previous ones -
