YEP ... another one
YEP ... I started it over AGAIN .... Last time tho, I still stuck with the same direction I was going in, different back drop and a little difference in the houses... as well as the way they were situated...
Whew.

I think I actually like the more subdued color version in post #30 better... and the road/path parts. Hm.
how is this looking then?
and there is another one
The first one looks like it has the plague. The second one is pale and exhausted.
I'm sticking with the one in post #30. And I'm unanimous in that!

ya .... but it really doesn't seem to fit the painterly buildings and what not.? ...don't ya think?
I'm with StillCypher on this Delgo, the version in post #30 is my favorite. I think all that needs done is the outlines of the buildings needs to be "toned" down (easier said than done I'm sure), they have a very stark contrast to the the groundscape.

I gotta agree about #30 looking the best, but #35 has possibilities 'cuz I like that background color...maybe something in a tundra.

I think that I like the last one the best. For me, the map in post #30, doesn't quite work. The buildings are a little more of an artistic style, while the background is a little more of a realistic style. In this last map, the background seems to match the building style a little better.
I do think that maybe the roads should be a little more of a dusty brown color. Right now they look almost white.
