Modular Hand Painted Building
I felt that this was the perfect project to keep improving my hand painting skills with tiling textures and reusable props and structures. As you can see from the pics, modeling and most of the texturing is well underway. I like the way the textures are coming out, but i feel they are missing the last 10% polish to really… -

I whipped together a quick building to showcase how the parts look all together -
Re: Modular Hand Painted Building
Hey, this is a really strong start! I think your textures are looking quite nice. I agree with Feynce said about adding more geometry to help out your silhouette. I think another thing that might help some of your "transition" areas, like the entrance area that sticks out from the rest of the house, would be to use some…
