Oooh nice, interesting style. I've been wanting to do a fantasy landscape type thing for a bit. It'll be cool to see how this goes - you doing the usual nurbs > poly > subs thing?

aww and here i was hoping you'd have the hard edges like in the sketch... they really give the scene character.

Looks good.
I like the stylised (i think thats the word) feel of the scetches. One thing that might look good would be to change the rotation of one or two of the buildings because they look a bit repetative all facing in the one direction. Thats just my opinion though user added image
