It is good, but the graphics don't mix well at all. If that is something you don't really care about, then all is well.

What does it meeaan???

Looks good, although the perspective of 2k3 is making things look a little wonky.
Like, it's hard to differentiate between the roof and the side of the cars.

Sorry, not digging it.
At first sight I thought they were fighting inside some sort of traincart ventilation shaft. There's just something off with that angle

Yeah, the treeline in the background is kind of an eye-sore too. As for the perspective of the train, I think it may be mainly your roof, especially the ladder bit. But the walls of the trains could definitely use more contrast from the flat surfaces.

Ok. What if I put the ladder on the side of the train cart? I'll fix up the walls some, not sure how to fix the tree line.

That would probably help a lot. As for the treeline, I don't know, it doesn't look too bad, it just took me a while to realize what it was. It kind of looks like a giant bush.

The tree line looks weird because it has white edges that don't blend right. It also looks like the spray brush from Paint and a minute of free time (alt-pun: tree time), so quality is a little bit of an issue. A part of the problem with the train cars looking weird is that they don't look like sides of a train car, they look like flooring next to flooring. A different tile would make a huge difference, as would adding details like windows and shadows. There's also a lack of symmetry with the edges. The background has a further extended roof and ladders while the foreground has nothing of the sort.

I did this before reading Archem's post, but it looks like we had the same ideas overall. Improvement? Good as is, or still need some tweaks?

Significant improvement, but I still think that the tiles for the siding look like a floor rather than a train car. I don't know exactly how to fix it in its current state, but it looks a little off. What would it look like if you switched the "roof" horizontal wood with the "siding" vertical wood? I imagine it would still look a bit odd (I think the vertical wood is too wide), but it might be a step in the right direction.

The trees are still meh, but whatever. The trunks being visible make a bit of an improvement, but the leaves still look phony.

That's like so much better, putting the ladders on the front made a huge difference.
My only problem with the treeline is that the curves looks kinda unnatural. I have this thought that it would look better would the shape be like those clouds you use in the background.

Yeah. If the clouds were recolored and ruffled up around the edges a bit, they could easily pose as trees.

...Wait a second...

I get what you are saying, but it is a scrolling background going by at a pretty fast pace. They aren't my favorite either, but they work for what I'm trying to make.

i think the trees look much better and the ladders on the side made a world of difference.

I'm guessing you're using two layers for that bg, so why not make a cycling tree pic using chip set trees? Just stagger them some and maybe edit some of the upper limbs.
