@Lumi You're off to a good start, I think. The building looks good - you did a great job with the tile variety and such, and the vines do a really nice job of adding a bit of extra 'flavor' to it. It doesn't look boring.
Likewise with the grass, it doesn't look lazily tiled or anything like that. Character silhouette looks good.
In short, I think it's looking good
@Chel thanks for that, I drew that guy in like 3 seconds - I don't even know what the hero is gonna look like yet, I feel like after I make some demo sprites and work out the mechanics, the hero will come to me
