I made a pond with a duck, it may be finished, but wanted to see if the forum had any critiques before i submitted it.

So I tried your suggestions, not sure if understood them or pulled them off but:

This is what I have, I actually didn't do anything with grass, I'm not sure what to do.

Here's some other ducks I tried. I think the original is the most visually appealing, making it hard to pick one that fits better in the piece.





Here's a version with all the grass squished down, but does that make it better? I mean grass is grass, its always empty, I'm not sure how I could make it better other than filling it with stuff, but from a design aspect people say white space is important.

I don't think he's going for a realistic approach, dpixel. And personally, I feel the cartoony 'rubber-duck' works quite well here.
