Is the lighting intentionally off on the saloon? Everything seems to be shaded from a light coming from top-left to bottom-right, except it.

But other than that, it looks great! Would love to see a big bull skull somewhere in that dirt. :)

Excellent! the guys are wonderful!
I agree there is a light issue, though I don't know what you mean exactly, Pragz.
The light comes from above-front, so shadows are cast without persp. It would look much better with a slightly more sideways light.
Are the posts round or square? They look round at the bottom, shading makes them square.

Can't wait to see the outcome!

Oh wow, love this Cure.

I think you need to define the saloon a bit more, the buildings are currently kind of flat and add some more interesting visual details in general.

Overall it's great. Fix the lighting and you're good to go~

The light is intended to be from directly above (high noon :P)
It's very likely I've screwed that up in several places (that yousguys might be more able to spot than I)

@Dex: I want to maintain a smooth and uncluttered style on this one, though I may have gone too far in that direction. Any specific ideas on details are welcome, I'll see what I can do though.

@Pragz: You'll have your skull in the next update ; )

@Manupix: They're supposed to be round, having trouble illustrating that apparently. I'll see if I can find a solution.
