Oh and I'll be gone for a few days, so there'll be no updates untill sunday or perhaps monday. Also I'm not being rude if any IM's goes unanswered :o) I'm simply not there.

Much better.

Just the sort of place you WOULD run through. Jack (yawn) going to bed.

the graffiti on the bricks needs to be nudged.

I think this is really beautiful work, ernyoka1!!

I guess someone stole the trashcan and the mattress! ;) Very nice improvements. Hard to believe it's the same street scene. I especially like bricks and the the concrete below the brick where the graffitti is written which is very realistic. Nice job. You're awesome.

To clarify: the " " on the upper bricks is cut in half by the window. This is looking good. I like the graffiti!

ernyoka1: You're knocking yourself out here s go here: http://www.forgotten-ny.com/Alleys/ALLEYS%20HOME/alleys.html It's a lot of alley ways in New York (probably the cream of the alley crop s) look through all the pages and you'll find some pix of real alleys (and graffitti) also, search "tenements"

Its looking real good

Yeah, the windows look quite good. However, the glass is tricky, it looks more like opaque plastic. I still think though that the ground & stairs texs don't make it - the sidewalk and gutter texs repeat very obviously and the stairs look odd - pink & green spots seem incongruous in this context. However, you perhaps are still not finished with the texs? The door should be about 20-30% taller in proportion to the windows and to the figure. :] Fish
