You know that moment where you go to open up your map project, excited to work on it, and realize that you've been doing it at half the necessary resolution?
Yeah.
Whoops.
Took a deep breath and restarted at twice the resolution. You can definitely see an improvement with the detail -- I'm trying to fix my process so that I'm using shapes as a starting point instead of freehand drawing everything and then spending hours re-drawing over and over and descending into tweaking hell.
I love the wood floorboard texture you have going on in that building to the left.
Shapes always help me a lot when I'm doing battlemaps, and you can just rasterize them once you're ready to do manual tweaking on them. A lot easier to tweak and adjust mid-process though.
I just remembered, I got this texture from a free online resource -- it's public domain!

Personal stuff I'm working on:
Daxtera - World Map
The Kingdom of Rogard
The City of Westbar (A Haerlech Study)
The Upperbrick, a small shop on the edge of town.
I decided that since this had to be a store of considerable size, but not have a ton of items that are extremely useful to adventurers, I'd treat it as a place mostly selling souvenirs and novelty items, so I put out a call on Twitter for ideas to figure out what would be for sale. Got a ton of fantastic reponses. Here's the WIP so far:
Items currently present in the shop:
-Porcelain castles
-Used books
-a Cactus (aka "a Mystical Self-Defensive Plant")
-"Magic" Amulets
-Costume Jewelry
-A theater dagger whose blade retracts into the handle when you stab someone
-A fake Palantir
-A limited edition series of commemorative plates in memorial of That One Time A Dragon Sideswiped Kevin's House
-Ceramic Mugs
-painted wooden clogs
-tourist trap leaflets
-toy swords for the kids
-A 12" figurine of a local historical warrior
-A box of cards behind the counter that resembles the Deck of Many Things
More to be added!
