Thanks Rick. And thanks for the tip to give Twilight Render a try too. I've really enjoyed it so far.

Thank you also Roberto. I appreciate you guys taking a look.

I appreciate you all having a look. Creating NPR residential renderings is something I really enjoy. SketchUp has been a great tool for that. Here's one more just completed.

I like the third image in your first post
All vegetations are "uniform" / "homogeneous"

Nice site web too

Brad. I can tell you enjoy this style of image and it pays off. To push them to the next level I'd say you should knock back the black line from the model a little to blend more with your entourage, but the big one for me is to fill the windows with life. They really are the eyes of a building and need to sparkle. Reflections / blinds / curtains, maybe a clear view through windows on other elevations. It'll make a massive difference if you get it right...which I'm sure you can.
In what ways do you use Painter Brad. Its a fave of mine
Cheers

Thanks Landie, I appreciate your comments. You're spot on about the windows too. That's something I'm never quite happy with. I'll do some experimenting.

As far as Painter goes, I absolutely love that program. I've had it for sometime now but haven't used it much until this year. I find it more and useful all of the time. I use it quite a bit for touch-up after running filters in Photoshop. I also use it ad some of the painterly effects to my renderings. I have a rather small tablet at this point, but I'd like to start using Painter to do more.
