The colors need to be more saturated as they currently look a bit dull and the colors you used for the hue shift seem a bit odd. For the grass, it might help to have the brightest color a slightly yellowish-green and slowly make the other two darker colors a little greener. There also doesn't seem to be enough shading in the tiles making them seem flat. There doesn't seem to be enough shading in the tiles so it may help to add a little more.

(just made an edit to help with the colors)


For the shading, the ground looks fine to me, but the grass still needs a little more work.

You should have the shading go straight up ntil it reaches the curve and then curve with it; likewise for the highlight, it should taper down into a streak towards the cylindrical part and become a vertical line.

Quote:Yes, that is much better. Of course, why don't you invest some time looking into hue shifting techniques? As the shading is now, they don't look distinguishable from the main colors and don't have enough "pizzazz" to make them look interesting. Also, how about adding another dark shade to your shading to make the shading look smoother?
