Those look great for the Norse!

Kyriakos... here is what I am saying:
Move 1 pixel to the Right and or change shadows because it is leaning to the Left.

 

[Kyriakos]

You were talking about the byzantine one? That has been uploaded already though
And it must be some optical illusion, since i checked in Bryce and it is at a perfect 90 degrees.

 

[Kyriakos]

I added a pallisade in the walled norse, so as to make it look more massive with that for refference.
Does it look ok?

 

[Vuldacon]

The pallisade in the walled norse is fine if that is what you want but really it does not seem needed with that type of wall and I like the Shading of the Wall without covering it

The byzantine building is indeed at 90 degrees and I realize we cannot split pixels but the Color, Shadows and Dome create the illusion of beeing off center.

Here is a fast mock up with the differences to show what I am saying:
Enlarge the image to 300% and look at the left side of the Domes and Tops to see what I am saying.

Regarding All of this...in the end, please yourself. It is your Work after all

 

[Kyriakos]

Ok, then we are back to:

 

[Vuldacon]

Kyriakos... Stick with your opinions and desires concerning your Art. It is more important to please yourself. All people have opinions and personal preferences... and it is not possible to please everyone.

I understand the reasons to get feedback from others but in the end that feedback is best used to verify what one already wants. Other than that, if one has no set preference concerning something, the opinions and desires of others can help motivate and assure what to go for.

 

[Kyriakos]

Well the pallisade looked a bit strange. The problem without it is that it is not obvious that the building is large, like the byzantine ones were.

I'll see what will be done

 

[Vuldacon]

Perhaps it would help to make the Wall a larger diameter.

 

[Kyriakos]

Is this too simple? (the drinking hall which is used for size #1)

On the whole these are less refined/majestic than the Byzantine ones, but the norse were a bit rough...

 

[Vuldacon]

Not too simple at all... Looks Very Good

 

[Kyriakos]

I think that this Meduseld fits well as the largest town:

If you have any suggestions for changes, now is the time to mention them. Otherwise i will upload them tonight

 

[BadKharma]

I really like them and think they work well!

 

[Kyriakos]

Now i will takea break, to continue my writing

After that i will probably make an african medieval fantasy set, which should be straighforward. Something like my Mali-Ethiopia set of old i guess.

 

[Kyriakos]

So the five sets could be:

Byzantine
Norwegian
Ethiopian
Mongolian
Arabian

 

[Vuldacon]

Great Work on these Kyriakos

Good Luck with your Writing

 

[Kyriakos]

Thank you

 

[Kyriakos]

Since it ws easy and i had the idea in my head (and i am done writing for tonight) here is a possible african size 1:
