Help me make this not look weird

[DarknessFalls]

Consider the following:

This looks super weird. First of all:

- The cliff looks cut off around the water

- The water fall looks super out of place with the top and bottom

- The animated jazz (bubbles) does give it a bit more life but still ...

In the editor:

What would I change to make this look better, more "real" or natural?

 

[Espon]

Try using the the top-left sprite and the one above the statues in the !Other2 sprite at the top and bottom of the waterfall, instead of the bubbles

So this still looks off to me oO

Theres no way to make the base wider, is this rpg maker or am I doing it wrong?

 

[Espon]

Hmm, it looked better in older RPG Makers.  Maybe the waterfall needs to be wider or something.  Or it could just be that the MV tileset isn't as nice.

Could try using shift-click to force tiles and using shadows + placing a bunch of crap over the edges to hide what youre doing.

Default MV tiles

I'm gonna try parallaxing this
