What you also need to remember is when making grass tiles, what I meant about the wrapping of the tile is dispayed in your grass tile with highlights. You have a light green pixel in each corner of the tile, when you tile that out it's going to put the four corners of bright pixels together to form that big clump of light in your tile that's creating that grid look.

you may also want to consider not giving a highlight to every 'blade'

i've retooled my example to show you what i mean
(3 types of highlighting)


top: Original tile with about 2 pixels changed to completely remove most signs of tiling
random blades highlighted and random blades without any highlights -> all blades highlighted -> selective highlights of differing sizes

Dusty: Good important imformation there. I've gotten some pretty good results from your advice.

Shadow Wolf: Inspiration is a good idea for an artist on grass tiles. I am going to take that advice for making some different kinds of grass tiles also.

Zolthorg: Great tutorial you've shown there. Here are the new results with blades with no highlights and highlights.
