So my game consists of 4 biomes, one of which is a basic desert biome. What I want to accomplish is a natural type feeling however with a mix of pizzazz. I am sort of new to biome making and wanted to get other peoples opinions on what I have already. What do you think?
Desert Biome:
I think the vegetation has something going for it, but I feel the sand could use a bit more roughness. Think of a gravel-sand mix, or natural sand sheets compared to just smooth sands you commonly find in dunes.
I second this. Maybe a slightly darker shade of sand would look good too.
The variety of plants is very nice! I would recommend adding more texture to the sand though, and potentially making it a little darker.
Using reference images can be helpful to get colors just right:
