That scene looks quite fine! Hmmm, the sky is alright, but if the scene
is supposed to be located at a Mediterranean environment, where the sun
is more intensive, then the landscape lacks a bit of contrast and color
intensity. It looks more like during a cool winter or early spring day
in Northern Europe. When looking at Caribbean or Mediterranean photos,
you can see the difference in the illumination (color intensity and
increased contrast).

I will very curiously follow your thread, because your scene is very
promising! :-)

Was the thing with your cream-white turban in your wardrobe a secret I
accidentally told? He he he!

Some secrets better remain hidden.

Hm yes, that is indeed true. There are all sort of things that still do 
not add up nicely in the whole project (which is quite getting out of 
control somehow) and which need to be addressed sooner or later.

By the way, the scene is situated somewhere on the Libyan coastline but 
not in a desertic environment..

If you browse p.b.i. from about 2013 backwards, you will find a variety 
of scene versions from this project. Search for 'Gancaloon', also on the 
TC-RTC site.

Medieval suburbia!

Well yes, it is indeed something like that in Gancaloon :-)

Not entirely strange. Gancaloon is /not/ medieval in our sense, it is an 
extended Greek and oriental city. The Greek part of the city follows a 
strict planning with a limited number of (megaron) house types, not 
unlike what was developed in the Middle East or by the (here 
non-existent) Romans. Remember: this is a project of fantasy, not a 
historical reconstruction! ;-)

Just to drive the point home :-) Milete and Priene are excellent 
examples of such well-planned Greek city layout.

I just found this to illustrate: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F9JmPejLa3Y
