First - the good news: I really like your concept painting, and I think it's going to work very well indeed in CG - so greenlight! Go for it.
The bad news - your orthographics are presented amateurishly - and in pencil - and photographed terribly! Aarrgh! Enough already. Go sort these immediately; use Illustrator to trace them, tidy them, rationalise them and get them presented properly!
In terms of finessing and detailing your buildings, I want you to look at some actual real world architectural details - so when it comes to modelling, you can enrich your assets; for example, I want your doorways to be more than just generic squares and for your windows to be more than just generic circles:
Even though your buildings are quirky, I want you to think about them logically, as a bit of real world reference will make them even more engaging.
In general terms, I look forward to seeing you progress this, Katie - but do please monitor the quality and standard of ALL your work. You've got an Art Of to think about, and I want it to be immaculate and a thing of loveliness! :)
