Can anyone offer some feedback/advice? What is the best way to do grass? Which version of tile do you think is best?

Alright so, screw that last one how does this look?

EDIT:
I fixed an issue that made it obvious that it was tiled

Damn, excellent work! Your quality of work just went from Legend of Zelda to Secret of Mana in one giant leap. The only issue is there are some pretty nasty tiling artifacts, but those can be fixed with a few careful tweaks.

Thanks! And I'm working on fixing that, that tutorial you suggested was quite helpful!
