An SMW Central Production Updates

Get ready for lots of words. And stuff. Yes.
So, I've joined in on "An SMW Central Production", just because it's fun, and cool to be part of a community. I have to say,   I DO know how to insert ExGFX, but when I do into this one, it screws up the OW. I'd like some help, please o_o Anyways, screenshots(different ROM, and ignore the enemies)(you may have to click the pictures and wait a bit, since I seem to suck at everything):

Welcome to Palm Grove, a secret W1 level. It's by the sea.

Jumping onto some friendly hills(can hills be friendly?)

What a nice vase'd bush!

Now, commenting on the level as a whole: I REALLY like it, and assembled all of the non-Kaeru GFX myself(taken from other ExGFX files). I took his normal grassland replacement and did the following: pasted a SMB2 vase over the mole hole, and pasted some small hills/big hills(SMB3) over the small bush, and over the arches I put some more hill stuff and the palm tree GFX(SMB2 again). The original big hills had plus designs, but I deleted it so I could have ONE 8x8 tile(solid green) take up space. I also did this so I could share the side two 8x8 tiles with the small hills, and made it not light when two large hills are overlapping, which would have taken up additional 8x8 light tiles for the sides. I guess I AM tile grubbing, but it helped A LOT, looks GOOD, and trust me, I've used EVERY 8x8 tile without replacing the ground or other vital things. I had to assemble everything, which was very tedious, which is part of the reason I might not use this as my An SMW Central Production level. I don't want Pikaguy900/Hach/FirePhoenix to have to. Still, I got MANY tiles out of this: palm leaves, palm stems, dark green hills/overlapping ones, copies with a light palette, small hills(sides, middle, right), and tall small hills, duplicates with lights/darks. Also vases :o

The ground uses the palm colors, but not palette #.  The dark hills DO share the palette(luckyness that they were compatible), and the light ones have their own palette. I COULD make light leaved palms, but I believe it'd be a bit overkill. What do you think?

Anyways, help/comments always appreciated.

Bump

Oh! I never used this, did I?! Not that anyone's reading...
Anywho, I edited the blog so it was no longer eye-searing, tell me ow it looks.
Also, here is a handsome screenshot I took for a forum(note that it's are outdated, also without enemies):

Kind of bland, but if I leave this blog standstill any longer, it'll die, and I plan to use it, so... yeah. It's not dead. I'll use it from now on.
