o  Love the clouds you've added, Relentless.

o  I quite like the path Darth Mandarb added, but I'm not too fond of the shadows. To me, the darker green you have around the base of the tree and shop is enough of a token gesture of shadows - with the clouds in the scene, you wouldn't have hard shadows anyway because the scene doesn't feel that sunny. Although I do quite like the way Darth's picked out the stones on the shadowed side of the building in a lighter colour.

o  And I rather miss those light green hills. I'm not sure why, but they sat well with me. I think it's the abstractness I rather liked. That and converting them to bushes makes the shop feel a lot more enclosed - which is quite possibly what you're after.

Nice clean style, IMO any of the versions could go in a game.

I'm for the hills in the background.
I also really like the texture of the path in Darth's paintover. But maybe the grass looks a little flat right next to it. Could be speckled with a similarly subtle gras brush.

I hope you finish this game:
... Grab Skull ... Look Barrel...Ã,

I'm not home now so I can't really do any real progress with the background, but I'm thinking the shop is too small. I shall add a smaller building attached to the main one and I'm probably gonna loose the tree. I'll probably remove the skullpost thingy or the barrel and add a path. I'll think about the shadows. Once I do that I'll update this and the first posts...
BTW The main character name's Biblos the Wizzard.

EDIT: I've made the newest version check the first post or look at this:

I'm quite happy with it and I feel I'm ready to move on. But please critic.

- The path is not straight in front of the door, as you walk out of the shop it veers to the right.
- The grass and path could use a tad more detailing, But don't overdo it, you're almost there.
- For some reason the lighted and shadowed colours of the building seem a bit weird to me. "Pale" might eb the right word. Maybe that's what you want for a magic shop though.

Apart from this:  :o Wowza! (but that's been said before  )

Can I borrow some of your talent?

[Afflict]

 

I wanted to cut down the tree. And now you have completely removed it?

Dammit.

I feel you can move on of you want too.

One thing jumping out at me is the clouds. Shouldnt they be higher than the building? I mean unless your on somekind of very very high mountian where people have to where oxygen masks

I like the style however!
