By whom were you told to ignore all previous work?

Adarias, I think the new version is mostly an improvement compared to the older.
Yet I think the rocks on the side of the pavement lack shading. They're too flat, supposing they're sopposed to look round. Also the transition from pavement to something else could be better. You could use the alpha layer and fringe layer for this.

Keep up the good work. :)

These tiles look great I must say, and the "rocks" look like dried out ground with cracks inbetween; if they are this; they don't require excessive shading, considering they're just flat areas.

I wasn't talking about those... I was talking about the pavement's edge.

no, don't make them rounder. i think the shape is good the way it is. but when you would add some shading they would look better.

when you make the upper and the right part of every stone a little bit darker and the lower left corner a little bit brighter they will look much more real. look how much that did for my last piece of work:

the larger the shaded zones the rounder will the surface appear. when you limit the different color shades to the edges you still have stones with flat surface but with a much more bumpy impression. like the stone road from my other tileset:

i've used another technique here you could use, too. the edges the viewer looks at are wider than those away from the viewer. that way you can create an illusion of perspective.

by the way: to check out how your tiles work together you can use Tiled, the map editor used to make tmw maps. i found that method much more convenient than copy&pasting my tiles together in an image manipulation program.
