Description

I worked on this for 4/5 days.
I haven't made pixel arts since long time!
I want to make and sell my dresses and clothes all around the world one day, so I'll need shops. I tried to figure out how these shops would look like =) in isometric pixel designs!~ The shop number 8 is inspired by the Genova old port. Many of these buildings would have a minimal-architecture style, some of them would have a floor dedicated only to haute couture or alternative styles like Lolita or Punk. The main external colour would be shades of cyan with black or white. Sometimes with bronze.

I put walking people so you can understand the scale and dimension of the buildings!
What is your favourite shop? =)

as an architecture major, you did a pretty good job for concepts.
however, I do have to agree with that critique; you need to place the genoa building in the center of the other buildings because its design makes it like a centerpiece.
I mean, you'd also have to consider where you'd be opening your shops, too.
having bright, reflective materials may actually be very dangerous if it's in a very urban area and people would have to drive past them.
I think it's all right to keep your buildings all cyan with black/white. it gives a certain theme to your shops, which would be like seeing the black and pink of victoria's secret, so it'd be more easily recognized from the street or some such.
also, about the scaling of the buildings, they look like they're all the same scale to me.
but anyway, great job on the shops! (also sorry for initially making a comment instead of sending in a critique, first time critiquing, whoops.)
