    The slight color shift plus the noise of the grass blades and I say: "OOOOOOOOOOH YEEEEAAAAAHHHH"

    You got a winner here. It could be that the noise was all that was really missing all along... but there was just way to much uninterrupted green before now. btw... check the scale on the fences.. they seem way to think to me unless made from stone...

    Not that it's needed, but do you plan to put anymore shadows/highlights down anywhere?


    heh... now all you have to do is put a fire pit into the dragon's nostils with some smoke coming out, and you have a sweet town (mostly kidding there....)

    I think you've about got this nailed down Delgo, the groundscape meshes great with the buildings now.

    Personally, I wouldn't change the way the grass looks now.

    Thanks SG, JoJo appreciate the sentiments

    I do still have a bit to go ..... shading wise I've got to add dropshadows to the whole effect... I think that will tie together nicely .... some other odds and ends need to be reckoned with as well....

    Yep, that's the one...the hand drawn style of the ground and foliage really fits the style of the buildings.

    Hoping this is the final picture ... thought I'd post it here to get a comment or two before I post it up to the final forum section

    @jojo ... thanks really appreciate the comments

    I think it came out great Delgo.

    Though only thing that still sorta-kinda bothers be is the stark outline of the buildings. But that's just more of a preference thing than any kind of 'ding' against the map.

    Glad to see you found a 'style' that you're happy with.
