Bourmout [pencil to color] WIP

[Larb]

Are you using SU for the Shrine thread? I'm enjoying your work with that. The new Chieftain tower map is nice.

Pretty much yes. It saves me a lot of time. I can often spend ages agonising over the perspective on a picture and end up redrawing things many times. And still thinking "is this right". But with sketchup I can just draw a cylinder and some cubes and I know everything is in roughly the right place at the right angle for when I do the proper drawing. I have been using sketchup as my "guidelines" basically. =P

Just beautiful! The side view is just faeric.

Ilanthar - Thank you sir.

I'm right there with ya on that Larb. I will be using SU more like that myself.

Thanks for sharing - Great maps and models

[J.Edward]

Thanks Alex.
I am working on some commission work at the moment so Bourmout has taken a pause for a short bit.
I am hoping to get back to it by next week, presuming the comms are done by then.
Thanks to all who are checking back by.

This is the final work for the Bourmout color version. I decided to go with a backside where the town info is.
After doing the perspective view in there, there really wasn't space to put it on the front.

I may continue working on the 3d model of Bourmout if time allows.

Beautiful.

Just Beautiful! It's great having the top-down map with the isometric side view and the full legend!!!

Thanks Sap, Bogie, Arsheesh, Larb, Pasis, Azelor. It certainly changed and transformed differently than I originally expected.
Doing the WIP process was helpful. It made me think differently. I appreciate all the comments and suggestions.
Now here's something not mappish but it relates to Bourmout.
Since I did the shield for the map I thought I'd do a sword that might have been made in Bourmout.
