Man you've improved immensly color-wise! Nice contrast you got there 
I would give the apartment building some purple coloring. It would contrast nicely with the yellowish pizzeria...

Man that is good ISO. I've never tryed it but i can allready tell i would suck! personally i think the roof and brick walls look really good. you dont see much shading in ISO, and i can tell it is really hard and usually ends up mucky, but you pull it off nicely.

totally wasn't happy with the apartment buildings colour....

I will add all the people and other details I've been promising once I am satisfied with the apartment.

The apartment building looks sunk.

I drew up some lines in paint and figured out why it looks so. Here.

Your apartment building kinda overlaps the pizzeria. I see that as a problem

And the lines are not because I think you're an idiot (which I don't) I just have no idea how to explain myself.

Oh... err... the blue lines are where your unseen walls do go, and the yellow lines are the maximum space they could be in. So, yellow is where they should be, to my understanding. And green is the outside wall base.

now that's good c/c, Saboteur  

Big improvement on the building color.  It's very stripe-y though lol, have you considered horisontal siding? Just to see what it would be like... the front of te building the siding is very well shaded but the side of it kinda looks like there are stripes painted on.  I think should make the darker lines even darker for more depth.

Sab: thanx dude... I totally f**ked that up didn't I? Must've been on something when I planned this out. Surprising that a few key others didn't see this one either. I'll fix this up obviously.

Leel: Yeah, the colour was pissing me off before. I liked the colour but, it just didn't go well with the pizza place next door. And I'll take that into consideration for the stripes and try em both ways for you to see.

Thanx you two!

I can't wait to see it finished......just one question: do the tenants have to have electricity?

The shading is really superb I can't do iso to save my life.

The iso style of Pete is a nice departure from the standard iso people. Love it dude.  Pete's place is just amazing.

Hmm, you never make the box overlay first, never check the properties?

if building something, I usually make the skeletion/oultines of building first, but transparent, so the properties are good to see, I use red for lines what you cant see for example.

Thanx dude, I really wanted to shy away from the generic template at pixeldam.

I never plan too far in advance. I had only planned to remake the pizza place itself and not expand on it. That said, I was in retard mode and hadn't alot of sleep probably when I started the apartment. Anyways, it's all good now.

The Pizza Pete building is very nice. I like the non-iso dude as well, he fits nicely.

Query: Do you use a template for the little people? Or is that freehand... nice either way...

random: freehand. I used to use premade people and edit them off of the pixeldam site but I found it became too generic
