I would go with something in between. Not black lines, but just darker edges. Like this:

I prefer the one with the outlines, but I'd use less of them. For example, I wouldn't outline the dirt on the wall and the the puddle of water neither.
But it also depends on how you'll draw your characters. If they don't have outlines then maybe you should go with the first image.
Yeah, I'd go with Eigen's edit.
Nice one Eigen how u did that? i will use outlined characteres so thank you for the help =)
I just blended the two images, the black lined one on top of the first one. Blend mode was Luminance (in paint shop pro) .. around 30%
Also, lovely background. I like it.
Already did it but in photoshop and thank you im working on the scenarios right now :)
If you're going for a line art style I recommend reading up on line weight theory. It's not tricky at all and good stuff to have in the back of your head when drawing.
Basically it's a way of separating layers of depth by utilizing different thickness on different outlines.
Sounds interesting, where i can see more about that? Thank you
I just randomly googled "line weight tutorial" and found this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jt8w8V81Loc
I couldn't stand her voice though so I only watched four seconds of it but I'm pretty sure she sums it up. If the squeaky voice gets to you just try googling it. I'm sure you'll find lots of alternatives. Good luck!
