the slash is a bit slow and too smooth looking.  Try cutting 2 frames out of the slash and speed it up slightly.

The animation your seeing seems to be moving much slower than what it really is, If I knew a way to speed it up I would but making one of those .gif animations is really confusing for me.

The current frame delay is 0.5 in the actual animation, looks much more fluent and less sluggish

See how in your reference for the grass the blades are subtle but noticable, whereas on yours there is alot of contrast between the dark green and the bladed of grass.

So I should get rid of some of the detail?
Now that I look at my tile from a distance the blades of grass look more sharper and more wild.. I wanna go for a tamed texture, could you show me an example of one?

Thanks for the Thread, I got rid of some of the details but then I remembered that we were going to Scale the Icon so not much was changed.

Here's a small Update


Here's a Slash animation I started working on

Here's another small update.
I made some grass! this is my first grass tile I have ever made please give your honest opinion.
Also I made some hair for the base, give your thoughts please and thank you.

The last one on the right is the best, the rest are all proportionately wrong, they look okay though.

Thank you for your honest opinion iv been waiting for someone to reply for about a day or two before I continued working on this.
I think I understand what you're getting at i'll update in a few minutes.
