Cailltir - Capital City of Araniell

[Caenwyr]

So here's the second Cailltirian district. It's the southernmost part of the city, the place where houses are small and close together, the place where the kind of business happens that doesn't stand the daylight. A necessary attribute for any self-respecting city, but not one to be taken lightly. For that reason, it's seperated from the city proper by a thick wall, and a moat in front of that, so if a fire should break out in the Pit (as the district is called), the rest of the city is not affected.



Keep in mind that the shadows, the colour cast, the coastline etc are still preliminary. All of that will be changed and finetuned afterwards. I also did a quick combination of this district and the previous one:



Now I'm looking at it, it seems the building blocks of my first district are quite a bit too large - I may have to redraw them. What do you think?

I actually like both styles. I've seen several town maps created using Pyrandon's tutorial and yours is one of the more promising ones. Too bad it looks like you won't be completing it. But on in the plus column I am keen to see you flesh out the second map a bit more.

Actually, I might still decide to continue the Pyrandon look! It shouldn't be too hard changing the colour of the building blocks, and I already have the background ready. So basically, I think I should be able to do both a parchment-ish map, and a coloured one. But that's for the distant future. Right now, all I can think of is drawing district 3 is my main concern .
