Flaber, again, immensely helpful, I definitely like the look of the bottom examples, they really capture what I'm going for. I'll be sure to keep all of this in mind when working on some new tiles.
Don't expect an update for a few days, it's crunch time at school, and i've got 2 essays to write before the end of the month, so yeah. Maybe by Sunday I'll have significantly more material to show.
