wow nice first go! The housing is a little awkward at times, but overall very convincing. Keep working +) maybe try some texturing too? I find that that sometimes helps bring a realistic flavor... (only sometimes... ^-^)

amazing angles on all the buildings. The tones and and textures are just right. It's stylized really well! i wish i lived there.

The ground and the trees look pretty bad next to them though. have you tried incorperating a photo texture or something along those lines?

Cheers for the fav on the city streets image!

You're welcome! You do indeed have a beautiful island. I just love the way so many Greek towns are all made up of white buildings. It makes for a picturesque scene.

awesome!! a perfect balance between realness and, um, artificialness!! the horizon also gives it a different depth to the original photo... far more interesting!
