I just thought I'd chip in here. I haven't bothered reading most of the thread, just the first 10 or so posts. I am pretty shocked to see your reactions to Noel's crits. That is incredibly constructive criticism and -very- valuable for you.
He did not rip into your work, he simply told you that in fantasy - perfect does not exist. He gave you pointers on how you can improve your work and showed examples. I don't know many people who are willing to set time away from doing more important things to help people in such detail.
If you didn't want anything heavily constructive like that, and just wanted bull@#!* "Wow your work is lovely" comments, then you should have said.
Other than that, I don't mind some of the textures, the windows are nice. The floor though ( which I guess is just a textured plane ) would look much nicer if it had pavements, and maybe lamps and stuff, maybe a market stall?
