[CRITIQUE] MY CLIFFS PLEASE

Actually, I think what you've got is great (also we have a screenshot thread for things like this ;p ). The variation in cliffs is good, especially because you've managed to keep cliff heights separate but at the same level for each. It's something that a lot of people have difficulty with. Your cliff staggering is really well done and you should keep doing it that way - it makes the cliffage much more interesting to look at and as long as you pay attention to keeping each piece at the correct height it should be fine. I really like it. ^.^)b

Another thing others have issue with is desert maps. They can be hard to handle because of the blatant lack of filler items. The small bush/fern is actually a rainforest plant iirc so it's a bit odd seeing it in a desert environment. XD
That said, the cliff-plants are nicely done. There's not too many or too few and they add details that are needed to break up the colours of brown and yellow. Good job with that.

I would recommend not placing plants right next to each other, myself, perhaps get rid of the ferns and a few of the dead grasses that are right next to each other. Instead add a few bits to the cliffaces themselves - dead vines, cracks, holes and rockfalls. Otherwise, not bad~

For the bottom area, which I suppose will be where the house is, perhaps a small oasis with some greenery would work? That way the area makes sense (no-one would build their house where there wasn't any water, after all). Next time show your map off in the relevant thread, okay? ^.^

Ohoho, I see why your cliffs were so nice now~
