Ey, Shiny here.

I started this tileset a few days ago, but I can't seem to get a decent looking shrub going on....

I like it too, however, it lacks any true lightsource.

other than that- great ^^

I have to agree very nice colouring, especially the pinkish hue of the boulders.

The only significant problems I have are the hard dark outline on the edges, and the inconsistent use of dithering between colours.

Here's a quick edit:

@ZoSo
Heh, thanks ;)

@gliding
I chose to highlight places that normally wouldn't be lit because I thought it looked allot better.

@surt
The boulders are my favorite part heheh =D
Nice edit you did there, heres my version with your crits in mind:

Any more crits? Especially on that shrub >_> I don't like it at all.

The problem I see is that the hue shift seems to stand alone, without the help of a value shift as well. Darken up that purple, in other words.

The bush looks to be more of a tropical plant than one to grow out of a cliff. Maybe make it something a bit less leaf and a bit more stem?

I love the rocks and how they have such well-defined, yet not harsh sides.
