Well, time for another update?
I've done most of the "slummy" area now, it has some more interesting buidings dotted around in it, but due to the cramped street layout, there isn't alot of space to put people in there. However, I snuck in a "mugging".
Anyway, I've posted this one so that it shows some of the stages/methods I've worked out (during this whole thing!) to try and keep the isographics correct. It involves using a line tool and a fixed "floor" height marker. The source height marker I copy is up by the scale ruler. To make it genuinely hand drawn (or pad drawn, I suppose) I go over all the 1 pix straight lines with my 2 pix "brush". I do allow wandering off the guide line quite often. I don't want it to be geometrically perfect or anything.
'nuff said I guess.
The new BIG building - the Prune Guild - has 2 spare podiums for statues ontop of the facade. At the moment there's a central Prune (at the top) and a male and female figure each side "adoring" the Prune. Anyone want to suggest some statues for the last two positions????

Everyone will be thinking it so I'll just say it...someone needs to be in the fecal position. The other one needs to be knock-kneed like they're holding it in. Oh, and you need a huge telescope sticking out of the tower so that we can survey the lands. Always love to see blown-up alchemy labs.

I guess it's all right!!!!
AH, yes, the fecal chappie. The lower portico-thingy has a pastiche of the Thinker doing basically that while contemplating a pile of prunes. That's supposed to be a rather modern toilet roll next to him. Hard to do at this resolution....
edit: Oh, yes. I did consider your idea for putting member names in, Mr Ascension, but people might feel slighted if I missed them out so... but I'm cool with CG "stuff" - like the River Police, "Thumbnail Scraper" and "Unsplittable River" already in there...

A statue of a plum tree?
I love the fact that the "Mason's Guild" is about to fall over! I also like that the post office is called "Going Postal" This map is beautiful!
It's almost like looking at a "where's Waldo?" book... There are all of these humorous little tidbits about like the two horses humping.

We actually have a place here called Goin' Postal to compete with the FedEx/Kinkos and UPS stores. Like it nonetheless.

This is drifting slowly towards Discworldian epicness...

Great, great stuff. I'm really looking forward to see the cartographers tower finished.
Q
LOL @ "Regularis Ex Prunus"... is that guy sat on the toilet?
