I would move the pine tree near the house up on tile. Based on current positioning and perspective, it looks really odd. That said, what kind of setting are you going for? I agree with Kurt with picking the details you would do if this was your house. I would personally remove one of the hedges, add a chimney, add a bucket or some sort of tool lying around. Also I don't know the context you're going for, but it looks like the house is in the middle of a forest. Maybe replace the mailbox with a well? Lastly the door looks weird: the door is missing the bottom part and the colours on top of the frame look weird.

 

Otherwise, solid shot. If you feel you can do better, go for it. But with some adjustments, you can make this screen even better, and hopefully to your liking as well.

Thank-you for the help people~! ^^

It isn't quite complete yet but thanks to everyone's input it is definitely getting there~

...I didn't put any buckets or personalize their yard just yet, that'll come later, and there isn't a chimney either because I don't want everyone sporting them. ;;

 

If you have anymore tips, I'm all ears~! ;3

Looks pretty well made! Looks like a pretty cool and fitting graveyard area. Nice job.

Very simple, yet different! I love how you used the horseshoe things as fences. I LOVE how you did the trees as well. Amazing job, Shane!

My tribute to one of the best quests ever made. And inspired by sheer boredom.

This looks worthy for a Lost Isle 2. Too bad it's never going to be a thing.

 

(The first bit was a huge compliment, since Lost Isle is one of my favorites.)

Can I pay you to make a quest entirely in Lost Isle's graphical and atmospheric style like that? Because dang that's gorgeous...

Thanks, but I don't think I could ever pull off what Peteo and DFW did. (And yes, it breaks my heart that Lost Isle 2 will never be a thing). :(

YES! Buy me a coffee at my paypal account... oh wait, I don't have one. XD Thanks Russ, I appreciate your kind words. (But NJF might do something similar with Souls of Wisdom 2... that is, if he finishes it of course).

Have a very generic screen.

Far from generic honestly. The mountains really add a lot to the shot.

That shot looks like something out of Four Swords Adventures actually. I dunno why, but I see a lot of FSA in this lol. Looks really nice though.
