Good old escher, very cool

. I dont like those windows at all, I think theres too many, its like swiss cheese. I think you should remove a fair few of them and give them a bit more personality, give them sills, and a brace down the middle..whatever, just look at any window around the house or in town, they all have persoanlity of some kind, or a level of detail of some description.

Overall it's begging for some texturing or detailing. The plain, flat green is very boring, and everything has flush edges where different sections connect, where's the buttresses, gutters, and edgings?

Oh and the perhaps embed the entrance door rather than have it protrude.

Shading doesn't seem to match up, also.

buttress - a supporting structure built against a wall or building to provide reinforcement

I like the background with the construction, that was a good addition. could maybe use some AA, but I don't know, do you use AA in iso?

Oh, and the sattelite dish needs work

I think it would be awesome if you made the earth comply to another of the "views" of the building. I made an edit, because that alone doesn't really make much sense.

Cool as it is, but it's gotta be a little more illusioned to successfully compare it to Escher.

Busted out with an edit. It's a bad edit, but it's just there to show the sidewalk on the top edge, and a dude leaning up against the wall. The bikepath's bike isn't isometrically correct, or whatever. I think. And the fence would have to match, or something. I dunno, but good luck.

i was thinking something along those lines when i first started. i will
never compare to escher the man was a legend. i think making it
more illusionlan woodn't work as it wood be hard to judge where an
angle stops and another starts. eg your sidewalk is the other way up
to the other this side of the building and they woodnt match. and im
not quite sure which way up the 3rd angle wood go and how to link
all three.

Looks good so far. I like this new take on an old look. Colours are good except you've forgotten the windows... both sides are the same tone of blue. Also, maybe darken the left brick side of the building a bit more to add contrast

The trees look plastic, and are obviously copied and pasted, add a few leaves, and then it won't look so similar. Or you could just do different leaves for all of them, but that would be hard.

Updates, from what I can see are the bus, thebirds, the darker brick on the left side, the two windows on the upper right building, the "S" has moved to the right, and that's about it right?

You still need to fix those windows. Also add some action. People would be nice
