Not a photorealistic one no. I will actually being doing it twice. Once a not so close up to put on a map of the valley...and then a slightly closer one. The bigger version will be B&W more then likely more like a floorplan or a layout nothing overly fancy.

Not sure I know what you mean by "what style" still relatively new at doing this...but it is going be made in gimp

yes i do have an example of the castle I have in mind. The one that comes the closest to what I have in mind is Conwy. Not sre exactly where it is I found the image ages ago and can't remember now.

I saw your tutorial on the map for gimp and its really great and informative. I am working on making a map for my own world for a story I'm working on and a D&D campaign. I was wondering if you also had a tutorial for drawing castles. I have a pretty good idea how it will look just not where to start. Its the towers that have me lost...aka how to draw them and connect them to the walls.

I discovered majhost, back when it was just maj, through paleontology-themed forums such as Gondolend or Dinoforum (I can't remember which first) but it was a guy nick'd "Aspidel", a regular in both, who mentioned it as a no-hassles image host for forum posts relating to one's forays into illustrating dinosaurs. Haven't looked back since

Maybe this was too much information, but you did ask
