I like design of these screens, though the houses look awkwardly small (I'd suggest 1 more tile for the roof) and the pots don't look very good.

There are few many things wrong I can think of with this, but allow me to address what I find to be the worst.

First off, they borders around the quick sand. The edges are WAY too dark, and it makes it stick out like a sore thumb.

Second, I understand this is a desert, but the mass use of yellow and brown is really hurting the shot. It needs some color diversity.

Maybe a small pool of water, a patch of grass, or heck maybe some mountains.

Finally, the way you've placed the trees and cacti just seems so unnatural and clumped together.

You might fix this by spreading them around w bit, or removing a couple.

1. I kinda agree so I soften the black (which won't be shown in the screen since I edited it after I uploaded the shot).
2. I threw in some purple flowers.
3. Added mountains.
4. I kinda thought cacti grew in a group, plus I don't want the screen to be too obstructive.

I also re-modified the screen a bit.

Ignore the bad cropping. Just trying to see if the perspective there looks alright. Oh yea, and the shadow, yea or nay?

Right on. I'm playing with some ways of making the lighting a bit more dynamic. Is it the shadow in general, or do you think I can tweak it to make it work?

I don't understand the screen at all. So no on both.

One last time reposting it, I think I've edited this screen far enough:
Posted Image
Edited the right side of the screen, removed majority of the red trees (as my RL friend said there was too many), added Spumes and lastly. . .Ben Drowned.
Reposting the old version for comparison:

I personally believe the new one is far more "structured" and less "cluttered" than the old one.

Well, I'd say it's back to the drawing board, then. I was trying to make it look like there was a sort of dip in the terrain right there, but I guess it just caused perspective fuckage.

I think this is as good as you can possibly improve it. I've nothing bad to say about it anymore. :)

Very nicely done. However, the pink flowers near the bottom may interfere with Link walking into the screen. ;) I love it!

I got new pot tiles. So they look a lot better now.

I re-ripped the Lufia 2 houses! How do they blend in?
Ignore the floor, I didn't feel like putting effort in that.

Those look 10 times better than your previous rip of them. :)
