That doesn't look like sandstone at all. Perhaps you should try lighter colour?

thank you, I like your version but more like "dust over floor", good effect, did you check the "half and half" version where I tried to improve a little the version you have in your post.

when you use dithering you should avoid checkboard patterns or other regular patterns and try to place the pixels as random as possible.

Bad dithering:

Yeah, but the half and half version has the same problem, the sand is still too unnatural. Sand won't become wavy unless it is under strong wind.

Since the wall and the sand has very similar colour, the wavy sand floor look nicer due to higher contrast (wave vs plain/dotted wall). But it is still doable using other technique, such as adding crumbled rocks or cracks between wall and grounds, changing the hue/lighting of the floor or wall, or introducing more shadow/lightning effect.

yes, I created that sand for outdoors sometime ago, I just reused for this work, but now that you say that it looks not good, I'll try to do something about, thanks

Looks very nice, though of course half of the shadows in the doorway have to be removed since the sun only shines in one direction at a time.

I was trying to represent the torches effect, but I don't know if is correct or not.

That could work indoor or at night. The sun will override any torch effect.

And even if it where indoor the angles of the shadows would be totally different. Other than that, it looks really nice :D

What do you mean with 60x60 tilemap? The tilesize? The tilesize of TMW is 32x32. The size of the whole tileset? The maximum is 512x512 pixels here. When this isn't enough you can split it up on multiple tilesets.
