      Nice style! πŸ‘

      One thing that may help is to hide the outer lines on the 2D cutout trees in Sketchup before exporting. The lines are most noticeable in the foreground entourage.

        True.

          From the reflection in the windows, it seems you are (also) using some rendering software in the workflow (unless it is some post-pro).

          I used rendering software to create the soft shadows. They were rendered over a clay model essentially, and then merged with the SketchUp image in Photoshop. I also used Painter to fill in the windows.

            Thanks d12dozr. I added those lines intentionally to help distinguish the foreground trees from the background. In some ways I think it adds an interesting rawness to the images. On the other hand, I haven't decided if they'll stay or go. I'm leaning towards go. They are a bit "edgy" πŸ˜„ .

              πŸ˜† I see the benefit for the sketchy style, Brad..I mentioned it as they were just distracting my focus from the house.

                Keep 'em, keep 'em! They look great. πŸ‘

                Nice models and images!

                  it's really nice mood.
                  also you may don't do any render ,if use my trick here: http://www.sketchupartists.org/tutorials/sketchup-and-photoshop/create-a-fake-render-in-photoshop/

                  what about foreground tree edges? are you still keeping them? or just maybe color-brightness perspective is enough?

                    Very nice, Brad. One thing I noticed, that you might want to correct, is that the stone(?) base on the second and third images is washed out - hard to tell what the material is.

                    My avatar is an anachronism.

                      Hi Brad,

                      Nice style, I especially like how you render the house...play of shadows and color very inspiring....

                      I would like to comment on the trees, they are very washout...try to balance that in your composition.

                          Fantastic stuff. I'd love to see some screen shots during the process so I can see how the magic happens. πŸ˜„

                            You've captured a classic architectural rendering style. One that I've loved since I was a kid.

                            Very nice designs as well.
