February 2016 Challenge: Hogwarts

[jshoer]

I wonder if there's a good, clean way to do the labels that looks more wizardly than right-angle lines with circular dots at the end?

[ChickPea]

This is looking really nice, and I think you've done a good job with the labelling. Hogwarts looks great!

Are you planning to colour it?

[Chick]

A few more tweaks and of course, some owls.

### Latest WIP ###

Great work Chick! The owls was a great addition and made the whole thing more "lively". Would love to see your take on the sorting hat somewhere, perhaps in the bottom left corner?

Perhaps you mentioned it earlier, but do you have any plans to color this?

Cheers,
Tainotim

[Chick]

Thanks! No, I don't plan to color it. I experimented a bit, but I didn't like it, so I went for shading instead.

I was looking for a good place to put a wand, but the sorting hat is also a great idea!

Good work on this, I like the top-down view the best! The path from Hogsmeade Station to the docks might use a little bit of revision.

Maybe you should hint at all of the secret passages on this map?

[Chick]

Not sure what you think that little path through the trees needs. As for the secret passages, I originally put them on the map, but according to the official wiki for where they ran, the seven different tunnels from Hogwarts to Hogsmeade crisscrossed so much that it became too cluttered, messy and hard to follow, so I reluctantly took them off.

[Gudern]

Nice castle. Black and white is prbbaly a good idea.

[ravells]

Fun! My daughter is Harry Potter mad at the moment, so she would love this map! I love the touch of the little squid in the lake. It's also cool to see various positions in the school labelled.

[Bogie]

Nice, love all the little details!
