jc.. i know you posted it here to get some opinions... well heres a few from me btw im not really good at 2d but i do know some few things that i learned while studying architecture when i was in college... you did a great job on the coloring, very nice touch but i saw a few things that might make your image mind blowing... 1. difference between shade and shadow... the ink drawing defined that clearly but your colors somehow dampened it... amke the shadows darker... it define the picture more 2. although the trees are pretty neat... it needs a little darkening at the bottom part... the ones that are below the top leaves... its usually dark at that spot, and from your view point it should be near the black level, well not unless if you have lights below the trees... 3. the wall are also great.. but with clear observation, usually expecially with castles, the bottom part is highly stained and darker in color that the top most... reason? because of rain, it drops on the ground and splashes dirt on the walls bottom parts... it builds up in time and stains... there would also be an ocassional dark slpotches on the walls, i dont know how that froms but it shows a lot... you could also add a little green to ares that may not get enough sun light.. 4. grasses are green right? of course! but occassionaly it also differes in color, some are dried (yellowish) because of too much sunlight, some are darker because they a grow in large groups... well you get the picture... well like i said you did a pretty good job... i likem it even, my suggestions are only based on what i learned, i still believe that you should stick to waht you think is best... gud luck and congrats for a great coloring job!
