I like how the magenta and grey paint chipped spots break up the banding. I feel like banding is way more obvious on cylindrical buildings like this, so finding a way to make it less obvious is really cool.

Hmm. The flowers are a little too visually busy I think, there's some readability problems when they're in the wheelbarrow. Not sure how to fix it. It might be a contrast problem, because they look good against the dark green hedge.
The little wheelbarrow is super cute. I like all the little bits and bobs you add towards the end of a theme, they add a lot of life to a scene.
I don't own MZ but I'm familiar with plugins for RPG Maker that change the tile size, it's likely that MZ works the same way. The sheet size would be smaller, the number of tiles per sheet stays the same. As for the B tile needing the first square blank, it's a quirk of how RM's programming for passability works. Think of it as if that tile is what's filling in that layer unless replaced by a different tile.
You're so lucky! I'm glad you're doing so much better, I was very worried. It always amazes me how interconnected things are with the body, and also the body's connection to the mind. Taking care of yourself seems to be a lesson everyone has to learn the hard way, but I'm really glad you were able to learn that lesson at a point where you could still recover from it. I know too many people who weren't so lucky, needing surgeries or becoming disabled, or worse. No need to play catch up, you can take your time and only draw when you feel comfortable. Healing is way more important!
That's great that it's working out! Vertical mice sound pretty cool, I might have to give one a try myself. You don't need to rush, take the time you need even if it means thinking you're ready to come back, giving it a try, and realizing you actually have to leave again. Your health is #1 priority here, so do whatever it takes to be well and don't feel pressured.
Gosh, that's awful! I'm glad that you're recovering a bit and have some good solution ideas. It's funny, it doesn't seem like clicking would have anything to do with a wrist, but it can be more painful than movement. If the vertical mouse or tablet doesn't work for you since you'll still be clicking, you could also try using a mouse with your other hand. Windows has mouse settings that let you switch the buttons around. I'll sometimes do that if my right is bothering me, but I'm cross dominant (which hand I use depends on the situation) so maybe I have an easier time with it than someone who is actually right handed. I also have sewn bag filled with feed corn that I keep in the freezer and I can use as a wrist rest when it needs a little extra soothing. Rice also works for that, and it's all straight lines so it's pretty easy to sew.
Oh woah. I've been working on my own Halloween themed pack and it looks like we used the same mausoleum reference. What are the odds? (It's set at a different scale, so you don't have to worry about us competing with each other when I finally finish it.)
This pack is lovely. I love a lot of things about it, but my favorite is the drifting dust mote(?) animation. It's so subtly atmospheric, it's perfect.
