I need some comments and crits for my hand painted assets

RawData

Hello everybody, as a small indie studio, we are working on a mobile project. Our main goal is creating low poly hand painted cartoonish environment. I made many pbr textured models before but hand painting is a new challenge for me. So what do you think about the models, how can i improve them, any tips? Do you recommend any tuts?

I like these alot, I dont really do hand painted - but the question that I think is super important here would be:

What distance are they being viewed at on screen? Because that will dictate the level of painterly detail you need to add. Maybe provide static images with the viewing distance you plan in your game?

While this is dependent on the overall art direction, a lot of the particular surfaces could benefit from the increased use of subtle off hues in splotches to give the textures a bit more "body."  Otherwise, you're risking fairly flat textures.

It is a important point , i forgot to mention sorry. The game camera will be 45 degrees angled top view(like diablo or torchlight) it is not so close to player and the objects. So i keep res at 512x512 and not detailed much.

Thank you so much. I actually tried to do this but looks like i am not on it yet  especially , toolbox and the table has some dirt or dust on them and i tried to make some crevices. Can you give me some examples or link a tutorial? That helps much.

My work from 2012 here might also help elucidate some tinier texturing things I learned.
