Aye mmmmmpig, I am aware of that problem, if you take a look on an earlier WiP you see where i started from. Here is another take on the fountain, along with some other small updates.
### Latest WIP ###
I think you need to be careful color-wise with the fountain graphic. Because everything else seems to have a muted foresty/earthen palette, the fountain with its stark blue sticks out pretty strongly. My eye constantly drifts towards the fountain while looking at the map. The map is looking really nice though!
Something witty and pithy

Tthe textures and shading are great. But you need to work blending that grass in, everything looks a little too orderly.
Well Lord, the grass texture is partly a place holder where I have to place buildings/objects. Wherever they will be visible at the end they either get fenced or softened. You are right, the way it is looking right now wouldnt work.
Anyways another small update, I am getting closer to finishing line.
Still have to place some objects but mainly I have to worry about the details from now on

I really like how this is coming together. The "autumn" idea is really working for me -- looks like a nice, cozy little hamlet to hunker down in. But... where's the pumpkin patch?![]()

fantastic work Sage!
Oh thank you very much everyone for your nice comments *blushes*
Sadly today my internet and mail pc did crash and I did need to save some files before I lose them forever so I hadnt much time to work on the challenge.
Anyways next small update, I started to add fences to some buildings, I hope they are fitting.

Looking good. I wouldn't want to walk on that road though for fear of tripping and breaking something. It still seems that those stones are too large. Based on the scale of the gates and other items, most of the rocks appear to be about 1 foot in size.
Another small update.
Added some more fences, a bush and a tree and cause we are getting closer to Halloween pumpkins shouldnt be left out
In addition I did resize the pebbles once more, maybe the last time now?
Its fun to work on the details of the map
