the grass pallette seems very familiar.

to me it looks kind of strange with such a light roof and dark wood on the bottom. maybe it's just me....and yeah, adding blades of grass or weeds or dirt around the house would make it look like it belongs more.

The tiles look very secret of manaish. Not that thats a bad thing. I agree with everyone else that you need a beter defined light source though. I look forward to seeing this progress. keep up the good work.

Those trees look awsome.The shading on the hut looks much better but i think it still needs work. The left side of the hut should be darker. I like the grass at the edge of the hut. 

Looks very good, a strange mix of styles, but i like it.

Really nice improvement, especially with the idea of the hut having overgrowth around it rather than being in a square of the dirt. The palette really goes together and gives a really nice Vietnam sort of feel to it to me, with the yellow showing up not only in the dirt, but also in the greens of the grass, brown planks and straw roofing.

My problem with the trees so far is that on the trunk, in most spots where there's a midtone, there's also a highlight. It degrades from the feeling of depth in the trees, I think. Not every "section" of the bark has to have the highlight color in it.

Changing the wood of the hut to stone was a good choice, although I don't feel the thicket of a roof fits the look of it anymore. That's something easily overlooked though.

Maybe drawing out a few leaves with the midtone in the shadow would help. The shadow appears in the midtone in places to give the appearance of more texture, but it seems a bit abrupt for the same not to happen with the midtone getting a little into the shadows.

Also, what kind of trees are these supposed to be? The form of the bark, I just realized, is very tumor like and different from any tree I've seen before.

The walls look awesome, like some sort of abandoned lab, yet they make the straw roof look a little off to me. You really should be able to make a varied second rock aswel. Looks fantastic though.

update03

keep this building, but remake the straw hut and add both of them to
the map :D

Omgozzles, i've found myself rather liking the weird new roof. It looks sort of oriental, i mean, if that's what you aimed to achieve then that's great. I dunno if it's a bit dark tho (the roof)

thats what i did :)



pleased you like it this much.

I love the little hut. the thathed roof is my favorite part!

Hey, why dont the trees on update 3 have as much detail as the ones in update 2?

I don't really like the new trees, I actually liked the swells of bark they had.

The new house looks good, really pulled from the old straw roof as I can see.

finished and in the gallery - many thanks for the c&c!
