Oh yeah... I was trying to go for a sort of fish-eye lens thing, but after looking at some different fish-eye pictures beyond the couple I used as refs... I think the world should be skewed in the opposite direction. Sort of hard to tell, some pics go one way and some go another, maybe it just depends on the type or angle you use. Oh well.

Agreed. That's something I'll probably fix up when I have a bit more free time.

The mound and the cliffs furthest back could use more solid brush strokes. You can add a blur effect at the end of it to indicate distance or shift the focus to the front, but right now they seem petty sloppy. And if that bench thingy behind the pumpkins isn't necessary, I'd consider dropping it and draw smaller patches of grass instead on that field.

Ha, I'll be honest, I never actually ended up making those original size changes to the goats that you recommended the first time around before giving up on the pic. I basically just did the pumpkins, started working on the shading/details on the leftmost goat, got frustrated because it was turning out horribly and then gave up. I was intending to change the background details and the sizes of the goats at a later point. The bench thing was intended to be a weird arse chicken coop (which is how they look in-game) and I was planning to add some chickens running around and nesting in/around there. I think the perspective on it is pretty messed up though so maybe it's worth getting rid of.
Anyway, I'll keep all of that in mind if I start work on this pic again. Thanks for the feedback!
