    Default The Evil Eagle's Aerie

    This was the October/November challenge by eViLe_eAgLe:

    For your commission, I'm thinking a very fantasy styled town perched upon a steep hill/cliff face overlooking either plains or an ocean, with an icon wizards tower hanging above the town.
    For the city, It should probably be chock full of classic fantasy tropes for the most part, it seems like that would be great, although that can be up to you if need be.
    Other than that though, I don't have any super specifications about it.


    Haven't had the time to finish it, I will keep working on it.
    here's an update:

    Wip

    Finally, I decided to scrap the map and start with another style.
    I was aiming to do something similar to ''the city of Yphyrion'' by Max and other maps in the same style as examples.

    Here's what I did so far.
    There are some old elements that I'm unsure what to do with.
    I welcome comments and ideas to improve it.

    I like the overall style. It's tried and true. Are the forests just place-holders, or is that how you intended them to look in the finished map? If the latter, I'd recommend reworking them. For starters, they are blobular and indistinct. They could do with some depth and perhaps texture. For another you can see the pixels around the edges. I don't know if you've seen Carbus's City of Dallor map or not, but he's working with a similar style, and his forests work well with that syle. Looking good though.

    Cheers,

    Yes it was just a place holder. Thanks for the suggestion.

    Nice work so far. Do they serve drinks at the Guild?

    If they do serve drinks I would love to order one!

    The map is looking great! I'm really enjoying the style change, even though I still like the first version.

    Thanks! I will continue to work on the other style later probably, on a smaller village.

    The Guild doesn't serve alcohol to avoid drunk guilder spilling it on maps. But the city will have several inn/tavern.
