City of Kastraal

[Philtros]

Hello everyone!

This is my first city map-making project. I am currently in the middle of the creation and I'm in need of some inspiration!

I used a few tutorials to create it, as I have absolutely no past history with arts, especially map making. I wanted to post it here as there's a LOT to do and I feel there's already a LOT that should be improved with the map, and I am eager to have a few comments, as only my wife has seen it until now.

I tried hard to create trees. I wish to know how you guys feel about them so far. I used a tutorial but I'm not quite sure yet how I feel about the way I create the trees around the city...

Here are the things I want to implement:
- A cemetery («Cimetière des anciens» on the map, in french)
- A lone manor onto a small hill («Communauté de l'Erthiault» on the map, in french)
- Gate entrances (one in the west, and one in the south east)
- A merchant port with a few ships («Vieux Port de Kastraäl» on the map, in french)
- farmer fields (outside the gates)



Anyways. I am open to constructive criticism, and to any and all comments there is!

In the meantime, I will be working on the map and update the posts here with new versions of it.

Edit: Oh!! And I forgot to tell what I used to create the map.

- Software used : Photoshop CS6
- I used this tutorial for the trees
- I used Theses brushes for some buildings
