The style is nice, but colours are too bright in my opinion. Remember that you don't need to base it to exactly same colours as the original ;)

Other than that, yes, I'd like to see Radiant's game with graphics like this.

I was hoping that a retouching process would not make me waste much time.
However i decided to follow your advise and change the colors as well :

The new version is awesome, although I'm not soo happy about the view from the window. *Even though you changed a lot of things, the colours outside sem out of place.

this is a vast improvement on the first, i like the new sky and the lighting, maybe the room at the bak could use a bit of darkening or some kinda of lighting, nice work keep it up.

Iron-Man, how did you make those graphics? Did you use photoshop or some special image editor for Sierra games or what?

Not that many.  IronMan just came up with the idea, on AGDI's forums, after seeing Radiants AGI + remake.

Personally, I think one should just go the extra mile and make a complete VGA make over, instead of modifying AGI graphics.

Not that IM's work is bad; I just think that the AGI graphics look fine, and if you're to modify them, do it up in a full way.......ack, I explain it horribly.  Adyeke on the AGDI forums had a better way of putting it.

Actually Adeyke rejected the picture because of the wrong tone of the stairs.
;D

However it is not the tone of the color only. The basic problem is the AGI architecture as Blackthorne and LF said . The graphics i draw are better than the AGI, but the VGA remake should have the original lines and shapes redesigned from scratch for best results.

The solution i offered is feasible for me
at this time because it requires less effort than redesigning from scratch so i can provide a huge number of backgrounds
without neglecting my Phd ;D

However you are right when you say that : "if you can do it better do it!"
Perhaps i will come up with a SVGA KQ3 picture in the near futureÃ,  ;)
