I've decided to post this project so I can get some feedback and such. I'll post all the models I've done so far. Basically, I'm going to model a whole community. Houses, park, school, probably a small town, etc. It will be a long project but I wanted to do a project I can always add to and this seemed like a good fun way to do it. I'm going for a simple cartoonish style sort of like garfield, Jimmy Neutron, Doogle, Hoodwinked, etc.

So youll have some close up shots aswell as far out? Really like the simple but pro looking renders.looking at lighting and rendering myself at the mo, these look like good excercises. Like the toon style too.
