Hey everyone,
I recently decided to go back to a game I was making back in 2006. I didn't like the art, so I decided to redo it. Here's what I came up with.

2x

And here's the original:

As you can tell, I only have the foreground and sky done so far. I really want an opinion on it before I continue because I don't want to spend a lot of time on something just to find out I had made a fatal flaw early on.
I used Photoshop for most of it and Deluxe Paint 4 for the gradients and other effects. I hope that you guys can tell that it's loosely based on the Secret of Monkey Island style.
I appreciate any and all comments.
[Edit: I made the sign readable and added a lamp. Please note that the lamp is just a quick mock-up; I have no idea where it should go. I like how it looks though, so I'm probably just going to refine it. ]
