Well its alright, but I think that makes the perspective a little too wide


Made 2 more buildings; I think I need some non-redbrick now.
The one on the left is looking a little iffy to me but I can't quite figure it out

RE: Thread of Pixels
I think that you should tackle another styles for buildings. Right now, it looks like the same buildings over and over: red bricks with white corners. Play with the shape, colors, make roofs and stuff.

Also the left one looks iffy because it doesn't look like the platform is sticking out from the building. Shade it in a way that the projection is more apparent. Also, the second one being a shop, make it more appealing. People are supposed to be attracted by shops, so be creative with the text and colors. Make shelves with colorful stuff, display and stuff.

Your jealousy is the speed of my success.

Organized all the buildings I made so far onto this road looking area

Refiddled the shop building, the purple sorta one. I think it looks better but have yet to find a good way to put text on it.

I'd like to know if anyone could make out the sign on top of that rightmost building or if I should just make it text.

All buildings laid out again with nicey nice background.
I obviously need something in between the background and the foreground

Before I get on that, anything else important/srlyfucked?

RE: Thread of Pixels
Looks great, and by looking at it in 2x, you easily figure out what's going on, good work !

my only complaint would be that you could maybe find a way to depict the floor other than black ? It's kind of unsettling imo...

Kinda blends in a bit too much too, I'd like to see an actual concrete road myself.

more hue shifting and saturation seems like something that would really benefit this style

RE: Thread of Pixels
it might be just me, but the train station sign doesn't read too well, up until just now I thought it was just a black blob (but then I looked closer) maybe go for a slightly simpler train icon, and slightly related that arrow looks rather cheep, usually if faced with such a situation I'd make it a bit more interesting with a > or something.

That dark line that I think is an eyebrow should be higher! You don't furrow your brow when you're happy, content or just simply uncaring.

Hope you don't mind the little edit, change it as you see fit. And if you want him happy, just add a pixel to the upper left of the mouth line there.
