Steam-powered Bridge.

This is a steam-powered brigde I made for a game me and a friend of mine are currently working on.
The game will be displayed on 200%.
Comments are highly appreciated.

Well I love the design and he idea. But I think the shading and dithering are very messy and inconsistent, almost as if you went at it randomly. Some of the shading is very heavy with fat pixels, which I makes it look more low resolution than it is. Also there seems to be some problem with the heater in front, it doesn't have a chimney that goes through the building's roof, so where will the smoke go? Anyway, my recommendation is that you remove most of the  dithering, and make the shading consistent. Don't try to make it too "realistic", in stead, try to stylize your image more. And keep up the good work! ^_^
Kind Regards, Beoran.

Something doesn't seem right about the ropes...They need to be tighter.

I thought the ropes looked a little too slack as well. The ground floor furnace is at a different perspective to the one coming out the roof - the shading looks too flat. Perhaps more of a curved base could stick out at the bottom.
