Beautiful work - very similar output to Piranesi - I love that style.

Lovely!

very cool, really like the last two. I think my favorite would be somewhere in between. the background in the second may be to saturated for my taste but gives a lot of warmth. the 3rd looks very neat but probably too cold. Somewhere in the middle would be a nice warm background that doesn't hog the attention.

Great style! Can you talk a bit about your process?

Hope you don't mind me taking a crack at it, being inspired by your images and all. I blended the 2nd and 3rd backgrounds and added a warm photo filter to blend the building w/ the feel of the background.

Nice job, but I want to make some recommendations:

If you turn the image into grey-scale and squint, you can see that it lacks a little bit in mid-tones. If you create a little contrast in the range of values it would possibly make the image a little stronger.
Current
Adjusted (-not perfect but you get the idea)

One other thing you could consider trying is to change the deeper values in your image to blues (cool shadows) or browns (warm shadows). Colours in traditional media are normally mixed to avoid greys and blacks and this may move your image one step closer to a true watercolour style.

Finally let the 'wash' gradient run through to the edge of the image. At the moment it looks like a soft shadow in the foreground (cast by the building) which conflicts with the direction of shadows on the columns.

thanks toxicvoxel for your insight. appreciate it.
