The grass looks a but out of place, seems to have no texture at all and just looks like a but of green pixels on a block, but other than that it looks great!  ;D Looks a bit minecraft-y

This looks real good dude! I think you've done a good job. Although I'm a little unsure where the light source is coming from? The lighter areas seem quite central?

How did you learn to make this? I'm struggling with rocks myself

Hi Onepixel :)

Lovely piece, i was thinking about tilesets with as much volume as you got in this for my game.


I did a quick edit :

1/ i don't know if you selected your colors on purpose, but it feels a bit sad so i tried to contrast it to see if it enhances the volumes and try to 'brownize' it a little to stick with earth/rock colors. (that's a subjective view, unsaturated colors may work good if you plan on making a game with this kind of art direction)

2/ The two rocks highlighted by the red circles seem to be about to fall, is it on purpose ? If not you may try to avoid outlining them totally like they are right now so as to merge them with the rest of the rocks.

Good luck !

Looking good, I'd probably suggest just shading it to shadow on the bottom, more gradually, and tweaking the colours/values a bit. There's a few ways you could do this depending on the style you're going for.

Might help to add a bit of texture to the grass. As it is, it looks kind of like wet green paint draped across the top of those rocks.
