50 people at this scale is quite the job. Watch that it doesn't get muddy. The architecture is good, colors so far too.

Ok it seems a little hard indeed... I made 1 guy, at the right scale...

Its very very smal.. so if I do people you cant see them that good.. so I think I will just do without than... because I dont like to do some people than.. my next project will be something WITH alot of people :)
But than its harder to make a base...

Well you can have people on this even at this size. You only need to place them far enough from each other so its not a 'pixel pudding'*. Like 2 putting up the billboard, a few in windows and balconies, cleaning windows, you can give the impression of more people than are really there if you place them right. I would reconsider that over saturated green you have on the doors. Use the blues on your palette maybe?

*someone once commented that an iso I made was so busy that it looked like a 'pixel pudding'...it has since been the rule by which I decide when to stop, lol

Don't sweat the windows at all. Put things behing the glass to texture and define. Like people, stairs, plants...whatever, using the same colors, no need to add.

happy bday too.

They look fine. Maybe the black outline on the red section can be the darkest shade of blue is all.

You could do 1 big window ;) It would look pretty cool. Another thing is with window placed higher - things look like painted on it.

he meant that those windows dont look like windows at all...  it looks like a light blue wall with items painted on.  there is no depth to it, mainly on the large windows

I tried to change the windows, and yes I did change some things, and I think its better now, but not much... I also tried to change the colors, but that did not end up very good....

DUDE, The reason the blues used to show whats inside look like paint and not glass is because the items behind the glass are not in iso. Most noticeable in the 2D stairs.

Doing things so small in iso is allmost impossible... and from the front view, things dont have to be in iso isnt it?? (yeah you should be able to view a part of the top... Maybe I can try to change that in the stairs..)

I think an example will be helpfull..

You can take any part of my edit as you wish. Along with the stairs I was just roughly showing how to break it up a bit and make it less boxy. Of course, reworking it all yourself is even better.

ok I did try to work on it again... Its soo hard to get it better and NOT copy jalonso's idea's exactly... because I feel that they are just the best thing possible, so all changes I make can only be worse than that... 
I know its not true but its very hard to believe in that...
Windows where hard too... not very good now...



Im not happy with the result for now..

It's really saturated. Try lowering the saturation just a tad.
