    Sure, its for my Fentor Cross Area which is the central region on the Thrubmorton Fens tile which is in turn part of a region called Ansium which is part of the Cooperative World Building project that were running.

    But feel free (well within the liberal terms of the CC) to rip and use for any other map area. I can do one with no ground if you like.

    Done a bit more with windows, extra books, lighter tiles, a little more detail on the steps and some more shadows.

    That stained glass shadow effect is just sick. Great job!

    I'm sorry, I can't help it. I have to ask whether you would see light patches from the windows on the grass outside? Obviously you do get them in the church as the light shines in through the windows. However for there to be light patches on the grass outside you would need a source of light inside the church shining out, and that doesn't seem to be the case. In anyway, the external and internal shadows should be different, unless the church has no roof. It looks very pretty, it was just bugging me. Right. Back to moving my own entry on rather than attacking other people's very pretty maps

    Obviously its the huge bonfire where they burn witches at the stake that is shedding light through the church windows and onto the grass... geesh...

    Nice!

    I'm beginning to feel my vote waver...sure, battling away on windswept heights has its appeal but I am beginning to sense...a great evil that must be clensed from Fentor's Cross by fire and sword!

    Floor grunge maybe?

    I know if I was running a church, I'd make sure you saw a big symbol or statue as you walked inside the doors so that you knew exactly who's house you just entered. Maybe a symbolic pattern done in colored stone or a carved stone statue of the deity in question.. If it's an old church that has gone unused or is with a hidden evil, maybe some vines on the outside?

    Looking good though RedRobes.

    Torstan your quite right. Even if they had lights in the church then the shadows would not follow the sun shadow lines.

    Should I just cut them out or mega blur them to attempt some kind of multiple light shadow thing. I reckon the real effect would be so small that I might as well just cut them out.

    I should have done this map in full 3D I think.

    Blurred and lower intensity offside shadows...

    Looking at it in JPG its lost a bit of the color there but I think thats more realistic.
