I like it, your modern maps are every bit as epic as your fantasy ones.

I think you might need some sort of gutter between the road and the footpath, it looks a little flat as it is.

The green carpet might be a bit light also, most of the pubs around here (Australia) use dark floors with patterns on them to hide spills.

some splits/cracks/stains on the seats might look good if you want it to look a little more used.

some graffiti/skid marks/blood/potholes on the road and footpath might also add some interest.

Do you use the same techniques for the modern as you put in your tutorial, just different textures?
