Jeez, some people round here really have no patience with newbies! (i'm looking at you AdamAtomic) Everyone has to start somewhere!

I'd guess he drew each of them seperately and then chucked them onto the character sheet just to show us.
Stil, nice reduction Rydin... The only thing that really suffers is the clawed animal, it looks like the reds and browns took the biggest hit.

I really like the guy sprite, reminds me of Lucasarts graphic adventure characters! The phone booth is cool too.
What are these for?

I don't mean to get defensive, but where exactly in any of my above posts did I suggest I wanted to emulate the 'real' world? 
In fact if I remember rightly *scrolls to check*, I said I wanted a clean, crisp, 'eboy' style to it, which isn't exactly photorealism!
And btw, I happen to think Super Mario has an awesome art style :p
*edit*
Man, i've just been and looked at some eboy stuff to make sure I wasn't totally talking out of my arse, and I have let this picture deviate so much from my orignial vision for it! That's the problem with accepting every comment as gospel I suppose Too many cooks and all that...
I think I really need to scale things back slightly on the texture, and add detail instead. Simple colors and lots of geometric shapes for the win!

I've done a bit on the car tonight, and although it still needs more work to finish it off, I think it's looking pretty good!
My only concern is it doesn't sit very well with the rest of the scene due to a slightly different style. Hopefully once I add more detail/contrast to the rest of the piece it won't be so jarring.
I also took the advice from dragonrc and grained up the wood on the fence slightly, as well as tinkering with the tree trunk too.

Another pretty minor update. Finding it hard to get time to work on it
Oh well, it's coming together slowly at least!
I used the (twice) linked image as inspiration to add some variety of color to the brickwork, I think it really helps.
I also added a car for a splash of stronger color, but obviously it's only blocked out at the moment.
Oh yeah, and a cat

For excellent reference of an isometric building check this picture by miascugh:

Thanks, but that's already been posted, and i've already pointed out that it's not the style i'm going for. If we all did our art the same way things would be a tad boring wouldn't it?
Having said that there are some elements of it which I can incorporate, and will! (Update coming shortly)
Thanks again for all the nice comments, it's really helping keep me motivated (and getting better hopefully!).

Just a minor update tonight i'm afraid. I've had hardly any time to work on it over the weekend
I've added a few bits of detail, and tried my hand at some texturing of surfaces. I agree it still needs some contrast, but perhaps not too much. The image you linked to is nice, but not exactly the tone I want for this piece. A slightly more desaturated and simplistic feel is actually what i'm aiming for.

Ahha! You exposed my weakness
I think i've been sticking to the squares because they're easier to do, but I agree, I should do some more natural shapes too, i'm going to add some plants in the border next, and maybe round off the corner of the drive, that should help.Thanks for the positive comments guys,

No takers yet? Fair enough, it's not the most exciting image in the world A couple of comments or suggestions would really be appreciated though!
Here's a slightly updated version, i've had a go at tiling the roof, adding drains, pot plants, door details and adjusted some colors.
Am I heading in the right direction?
