nice grade of detail, but it lacks shading.

if your going to use straight bricks, then i suggest you use a different angle.

this is the tower with the lower and top level added, now the oval looking has gone, looks more rounded. i just colored the top part just for visual purposes is not going to be a candy tower :), and i'll change the bricks for sand stone

P.D. please post the tower scaled down, in order to not consume the whole page just in one post

Heres a slightly different version of the mockup chest, gonna work on jazzin up the contents even more, make it look more "magic" might stick a hinge on the lid so it opens.

The light direction in tmw is from southwest, not southeast. Just mirroring it would fix it.

About the contents of the chest: the gold in it is very hard to see. I didn't notice it before i zoomed into it. Making the inner side of the chest darker would help maybe. The book really sticks out a lot as if it were something special. Is this intentional?

i like it, i would just request a minor change, light source from south west, in both the chest and the top.

great job

thanks for the comments, gonna work on the box tonight and hopefully have decent lid, and work on the lighting also in regards to the comment about the book looking important i just wanted to have an item in the box, it could be anything really i just wanted it to look like u can pick it up. Is there anything in mana world in particular i could have a bash at making for the contents of the box ? say a sword or something or a potion bottle.

I would go for temple stuff, golden cups, chandeliers, small statues, papire rolls, rings, things like that.

The speedlines look a bit like jpeg artefacts.
