Grass [wip]

[Ninja Crow]

You won't believe how much your grass will pop if you can manage to get more yellow into the highlight colours, and also don't draw your grass as if it were a mat composed of cut blades all arranged flatly on the ground with no overlapping pieces - grass has depth and also tall clumps that overshadow shorter regions, and especially where it hangs over areas of flat earthy ground.

Here are some images to show grass that I felt was notable in some way:

• Some low-res grass with obvious yellow highlights
• Grass tiles with obvious shadowing and mild highlights
• Sideview grass tiles to show blade overlap and shadow and use of highlights
• Minish Cap, which is a personal favourite of mine, forgoes the risk of messily texturing grass, and somehow gets away with a strikingly lush environment with just a hint of texture
• Isometric tiles by Adarias that show some advanced grass-type variations
• Grass tiles with a lovely, olive palette, just for variety
• And the obligatory Seiken Densetsu 3 grass tiles

These types of tiles and styles really appeal to me - what about you?
