Hi all! So I recently decided to experiment with isometric buildings a bit (as a nice change of pace from my — also isometric — Cirtemosi world map. Note that "Cirtemosi" is just isometric spelled backwards!).

This is the first attempt at a quicky, and I need all the feedback I can get. Here's a 4-hour roadside temple in three versions: inking-only, basic shading and dropshading:

The idea is to get the message across with the minimum amount of frills. Do you think the map needs shading at all? (I think it does). And does it need the dropshading or is the very basic shading enough to make it easy to read and pleasant to look at?

Also, this is still a WIP, so I plan to add a bunch of extra little details to make it pop, but feel free to rip into me with whatever critique you might have. Don't hold back!
