A Panoramic View of Island Town (commission)

[Lingon]

Well… A map! (I never know how to start threads…)

Ok, so maybe someone remembers, probably not, this map I made a little while ago, for the writer Arianne Tex Thompson's book One night in Sixes. It was released the other day now, and in time for the release I made a second version of the map, for a poster, in color.

The idea was to show the town, now renamed Island Town, in a panoramic view and with a transition from day to night across the map, to show the many lights in the north half of the town (it's oriented with west up, because we liked the composition that gave) but still let the colorful pueblo in the south be visible.

Usual for me, it's pencil, ink and watercolors, with labels, lights and the day-night color gradient added in Photoshop. It's taken extremely long, but finally, and luckily timed, it's ready
