So very very tempted to say that I hate both of them. Because that's just how I roll. B|

Context is required, what is this?

Oh, which grass/plant texture is better? I like the second one.

I think the commas give the grass a glassy/jelly texture.

So the second one is better

The commas make it look too regular IMO.  If they were mixed with, say, apostrophes, that would look much better.

I like how the commas add texture, but maybe a different character or a series of randomised characters would be better?

Currently you only see fescue grass, which is why they're all the same icon. I want to add 2 more types of grass at the minimum to give it that random mixture of ' and " and `.

I like the solid one, without the commas personally. If you are making a full color ASCII game you should act like it.  :P
Also, have you tried using a noise function for color index? Not that the random shades look bad, just wondering if you have gone over all options.

I find that whichever one has fewer votes is greener.

Here's a mockup of randomized ", ', and `.

The grass colors are expected to be linked to genes, so noise functions are out of the question :v

I found an old picture, of the previous time I tried to do this!

I think the new picture's subdued colors are more attractive :D

I find the new colours to be too bright, but the transition is very smooth, which I like.
