nice bg

[speedthief]

this is a great BG

[Silverthorn]

You gave me some advice with my bg, so do I

Remember that bar-thingy that pops up when you press F5-F9? You'd be better off when you make a black bar in there, too, so that it doesn't look too bad in case somebody presses those keys. The rest looks, after a first glance, fine to me. Good job

[Lauli]

It looks ways better than the other one.

Anyways, you should make the border-pixels, especially on the background parts, orange-blue, instead of dark. That way it blends better with the sky.
And also the "grass" should definitely look different.

...hrm...

What bothers me with a lot of backgrounds is the fact that they use real pictures for the background and then something drawn for the foreground.
In my honest opinion that always clashes too much, and in my eyes that just doesn't look fine. Might only be me, though.

(like, mixing real stuff and 'cartoony' stuff doesn't really fit well)

Suggestion: Remove the BG's shadow.

nice bg ...but i like your other better
p.s. the way the gate is drawn is wrong

[Alectric]

thanks for comments
some of them i dont get though...
gate is drawn wrong?
border pixels, around everything? like a black out-line?

but thanks for the advice (esp BP) i will update it now.
i will try to make the sky look more unrealistic for you Ramond

grass was just a quick job, i will now fix up

EDIT:
here is a preview of the new sky:


i cant do clouds for crap
its completely done from scratch, ok?
now to the grass, and perhaps some more shading
