Hi Keedo - interesting proposal.
Have you seen Keith Curtis's map of the City of Tallon? It's very close to your map (one island instead of 4 and the quarters located in slightly different places). You can find it here and Keith's comments about the map on this thread.
I'm tempted to have a go at your map (although don't expect anything like the beauty and detail in Keith's map), but let me think about it. What sort of timescale did you have in mind?

I'd also love to give this a go, but I couldn't promise anything on timescales. I need to start looking at settlement and city designs again for my world. I've left it too long due to other commitments.

Eeeps, I've still got to finish your starships, Ian!
LOL, no problems ... I shall be adventuring in the Babylon 5 universe for some time to come I think. I could possibly look at the city map over the next couple of week as I've got a minor op coming up and a couple of weeks recovery time. It'll all depend on how I feel though. This may give me something to keep me occupied whilst recovering. Usually, between work, family, and the couple of hours gaming I get to do a week; my time becomes a bit thin on the ground. Sigh .... real life just seems to get in the way at times.

Sorry this is threadjacking a bit, but good luck with the op, Ian and a speedy recovery.

Yeah, actually I have looked at the Tallon map and it is very impressive. Exactly the kind of map I am aiming for. I'm trying to get a copy of Illustrator (for purposes other than mapmaking), but money is a problem for me right now. Otherwise I'd make the map myself. I've still got a lot of my old hand-drawn maps, but I never made one for the main city since I was using the Lankhmar map. Mostly just dungeons. I may be getting a scanner soon. When and if I do, I'll post some of my old hand-drawn maps for fun. I'll also make a more accurate hand-drawn map of my main city and post it in this thread.
If you know any college students, you can get the whole Adobe CS suite for only a couple hundred dollars. The down side is that you can't do anything commercial with it.
