Hey, really nice start. Every thing looks original expect for the houses, it looks like you've based them almost completely off of the RTP. The bushes IMO really clash with the trees, but that's probably because you haven't shaded the bushes, or have you? I hope you had some more texture to the grass, cause right now the bright color just doesn't seem to flow with some other things in the tileset. I don't like the wooden posts under the veranda,(think that's how you spell it) Maybe add on another few pixels so it looks like it's stuck in the ground, giving support to the veranda. I like the designs on the house, it gives the map a sort of a Chinese culture.
