There's something about the wall that REALLY annoys me. It just looks unappealing. I find it hard to lay my finger on. Can someone help me find and resolve the flaw?
Your problem is that it looks horrid.
Pillow shaded.
I don't get how you can actually shade a turf. If you shade it, the tiling will look ridiculous.

Thanks, Vrocaan. Can you please provide an explanation so I can improve?

If you don't get how to shade it, don't. Don't resort to pillow shading it.
I didn't pillow shade it. Those are just extra details.
Yes. Just details. I'm not a pixel artist, I'm no good at detailing turfs like this.There are NO tutorials out there that teach how to do stone walls. They all just teach anime characters.
I see what you mean now. It does look like pillow shading.

I decided to make a new wall icon, this time with no shading.

I would change the colors,been a while since Ive made icons but here's how i would try doing it,not the best but i tryed...
No tutorials that teach walls? All anime characters? Lololololol. http://gas13.ru/v3/tutorials/ sywtbapa_almighty_grass_tile.php Read that series. It will change your life man, or at least, you know, the way you look at pixel art.
Sorry. I was generalizing off of what I mostly see from pixel art tutorials. Specifically the tutorials made for BYOND, since a majority of BYOND is anime.
BYOND is not a different type of pixel art. You have to realize that the internet is bigger than BYOND and search outside of it.
6 colors for a stone wall? Jeez, learn how to make a palette.
