I like the edges of your texture work. But the colors are a little overwhelming. The dark brown is too prominent and will cause your texture to feel washed out. But then... it might be ok depending on how you use it. I would still soften it up a little bit and change some of the tones so they don't all look the same.
Please do Pix! Just a heads up make sure to spend some time (more than I did for the video) on the blade of grass or a few blades to get them looking awesome. That reduces any heavy art lifting you have to do later.
Digging this latest stuff man; you're really improving a lot. The one thing I can say is that I think you're relying too much on black for your shadows. I'd say experiment a bit more with adding color into your shading and see how that works. I also could be completely full of shit (most of the time I am).
Thanks Max. I mainly work in grey/grayscale for a portion of time. That's probably where that's coming from. I'll try to start with color from step 1 on the next piece. Hopefully that will fix that issue.
In the past I've had trouble just with value let alone colors. So I decided to just get a good handle on values then work in colors. Thanks again for the critique.
I was trying to make this grass texture in past days, but I don't get such good results, but I found the technique very useful for other types of textures, spreading rocks, making full base texture by only using small bits from photo texture, which is very useful indeed.
It can take a few tries to get the grass right Pix. Try keeping the grass interesting but not a ton of unique details. Spreading rocks, etc is a great use of the technique too. Good call!

Edit: Updated to a more final look I think I'm going to go for.
I love those two landscape scenes on the right, what did you use to color those?

No just to record the process of painting that.
Here's that walkthrough of how I did this texture. It's not the exact same one so it might look a little different. But it's the identical process.

I appreciate it!
