Here I will post various work in Progress for my massive "Dungeon of the Day" project.
The finished masp will end up here: http://blog.megatongames.com/
Comments welcome but some things might be very early/unfinished stuff - such as only parts of an item or just a texture.
Here's a village I just started (very Wip). I happy with the roof texture/style so far. Might add some dirt on the roofs.
Will make a cart and add some trees and stuff.

Delightful! I'm a big fan of dirt though, I wouldn't complain if you dumped some mud on there
And, as always, I'm impressed by your Illustrator work. The things you do with vectors are inspiring!
cheers,

Yes, dirt takes a little more work in Illustrator. I am working on some "dirt and detail" textures/styles but it takes a lot of time (a lot like in days). And I don't wanna "cheat" and do the dirt in PS...

Do what I do. Once I place a full area of grass, then I place a full area of dirt on top of it, and apply a fractal transparency, allowing the grass to show through (though do so showing more grass than dirt) - it looks very natural doing it that way. Like this... (Note: I did this using another vector application, so I'm sure it could be done easily in Illustrator too).

Looks pretty good! I know you work in Xara. And yes, Illustrator has quite advanced ways of doing this - 15 blending modes (as in PS) and it's easy to combine textures into one single graphic format.
I know very well how to do it - I just lack time to make good dirt/bump vector textures - just worked 10 hours doing 12 nice trees.
