The two points of gras coming up and mirroring eachother look off a bit, and the hit block is a little too dark I think, the "eyes" aren't quite visible enough.

That's actually a case of tiling not mirroring. ;) I actually think the tiling is quite good in general. Just on the incline is it TOO obvious I think. I agree about the eyes on the block.

I think the problem with your underground pipe is that the shadows are too dark. Since the environment is supposed to be dark, I would think realistically that every part of the pipe should be at least marginally brighter than the background so one's eyes could distinguish it from the nothingness.

Another minor note, I think the area in shadow on the above-ground pipe is too much.

I'll have to say that the blocks other than the brick look really under-detailed. They also seem a tad small compared to the pipe.

Personally, I think the grass and the rocks look nice, but I think the bush could be a bit bigger and have better texture. The grass sticking out from the side is a bit distressing as well. And I assume you are going to detail the sky? Looks pretty good so far.

Good luck!
