Created in: Photoshop

Review
Thanks to some community input and rating efforts, this 2010 insanely detailed city map from LonewandererD gets a show on the front page! This post doesn't have the full size image, so make sure you check the original post for all the detailed goodness!

This is Laer Ia'Bor, or White Rock City in English, the commanding city of the Dominion of the Elders of Sorres and the educational and intellectual centre of the Dal lands. The entire map was made from scratch in Photoshop and it took me a little over two months, I’m especially proud of this map because it is the first map where it was created using mostly my own techniques, I would still like give a thanks to Ascension for his town tut that I used to build up the bases of my buildings before adding extra layer effects, and Yander whose insignia tut I used here. For your convenience I have translated this map into English but I do have the map written in Dal if anyone is interested.

Congratulations on your second Cartographers' Choice map award!

Congrats LonewandererD.

RobA How exactly did you manage to Post 20 days in the future?

And how did I manage to post ahead of your post which came first?

Posts made on August 10 appear before posts made on August 30. That's why we're above him.

Either he or we are having difficulties with temporal stability. Always hard to tell which.

Oh my, thank you I honestly never expected this, this map was so long ago I would have thought it would have slipped into the fog somewhere.

My awesome ninja admin fail powers. That's how! They also managed to break the front page...which I hope should be fixed now, too.

I actually had more planned for this map but trying to load up the file now into photoshop still crashes the program so I think i will leave it there

Congrats! It's a real beauty and it deserves the recognition even after two years or so
