Here are two recent screenshots from the DBXL thread on the German tt-forums:

Very nice trains, and station.

BTW, as already posted elsewhere on this forums, DB Set and NewStations will share a special custom "track type" extension for OTTD. Track types are limited to only 3-4 track types (+ electrified versions, all very well distinguishable) plus a Transrapid (maglev) track:

Looking great Michael! You're keeping us drooling for more

[The Irish]

Good to see you around, Michael. Hope to see more of your wonderful artwork soon.

[lobster]

I am very turned on by these screenshots. Somebody hold me back!

[Kogut]

Where you found that buildings? There are great!

As this thread is named "MB's new graphics" the probability is high that he (Michael Blunck) has drawn them himself

yes i remember (darkly ^^)
there were some screenshots of a (WIP) graphicset with german-style houses on his old homepage...
@michael: any plans to do a new homepage?? or will all your new (hopefully released sometimes ) sets be posted here?

greetings from good ol' germany

Is it possible that we could get the GRF of the German houses?

It is probably a work in progress but they look really good...

"it'll get bundled with DBSet 0.9" [because saying "bundled with DNF" all the time is getting boring ]

Well, no, sorry. Firstly, this set isn´t finished, and secondly, I want to port all my newgrfs into the newly developed m4nfo high-level language before releasing any new versions. Newgrfs already converted into m4nfo include DBXL, DBtracks and NewStations.

... the newly developed m4nfo high-level language

Interesting ...
Any more information on this program beyond what you have posted to Transport Tycoon Headquarters?

As already mentioned in some other threads, work on TTDPatch´s NewObjects feature has been continued recently, and does spark my interest in some applications.

Among some maritime features, one aspect of a forthcoming newobjects set will be a couple of different types of hydro-electric power plants, although there´s no use for electricity in the game until now.

On the left side, an ancient run-of-the-river power station can be seen, and on the right, there´s a more modern conventional power station, using penstocks for water delivery from a higher water reservoir. Something like this would be used as a pumped-storage power plant as well.

Nice looking idea Michael, Badger approves

[SAC]

True classic MB style of work! Excellent! And even more excellent to see you on the run again! Really like those pipes running uphill...

holy sh...cow

[cej10]

I'm still waiting for that large container ship =p

[michael blunck]

With regards to NewObjects, I´ve decided to cancel any plans for industry-related objects for the foreseeable future.

Instead, I´ll concentrate efforts on the maritime domain. A newgrf, scheduled for Christmas release, will contain a basic assortment of harbour structures like breakwaters and beacons, and will successively being completed by lighthouses and harbour-specific tiles fitting into NewStation´s freight stations.

A first demo:
