I know I said I didn't have more time to work on it at present, and it's true, I
don't.  But sometimes my distractions overpower my focus.

I think this is a significant improvement over the previous images.

I bet this is a typical trait of creative people, and therefore nothing to be
ashamed of :) (I *hope* it is, otherwise I'd have to start worrying about
myself ;))

Oh yeah!

With the big door not showing up that frequently anymore it seems to have lost
"weight" somehow - for the better.

It's a pity the dome doesn't show up; maybe you should reserve the right to
place a few items "by hand".

(BTW, I'm not so much reminded to works of Escher, but some shots of Gilles
Tran, except that he stacked his houses vertically (and they carried a much
darker atmosphere)... but then again, he may have been inspired by Escher,
too...)

Thats nice!
It kinda reminds me of Skingrad from The Elder Scrolls: Oblivion, especially 
with the fuzzy focus.

This is very very cool. :-)  How about a dual-monitor-wallpaper version?

(If it takes a while, I'd be happy to render it and give it back to you if I 
can keep the picture itself. :-)

This is cool. I liked the previous one better though, because it looked like 
I could walk around it more. On this one I see too many rooftops.

Nice atmosphere indeed.

One strange feature in the back: a roof sticking through an arcade.

A few more domes, please?

Good point.  I'm trying to figure out a way to add in stairs and tunnels, which
should help with that.

Thanks.

I think that's three calls for more domes, now.  I had turned their frequency
way down because I felt like they weren't "fitting in" very well.  I'll see
what I can do.

Yes, I noticed the roof/arcade problem after it rendered.

2400x900?  Should be done rendering in a couple hours.
