I try to justify it by telling myself that, since medieval cities rarely have right-angled corners, it wouldn't matter too much. Thanks for the feedback; I appreciate it. Being new to the commissioned mapmaking game, I expect there's a lot I could learn from seasoned professionals like you and Arsheesh.

    Yes, sorry to haven't point it on an earlier stage. Actually, on an isometric perspective, the vertical lines will be strictly vertical. There's a lot of vertical lines here that are tilted which looks a bit odd and give the perspective a wrong overall feeling. But well, it's still a nice work anyway

    Ah, yes, now I know what you mean. I did intend on keeping lines vertical, but, when drawing freehand, I expect it is inevitable that things will end up wonky. I notice tainotim's hand-drawn maps don't have this issue, though: maybe I should take lessons from him

Also, love that you really managed to maintain the class differences within and outside the town. Can't wait to see this with some color. Was this done on a a3?
    Thanks. Yep, A3 (which is probably why it took so long).
