Sagitarii - practice city map

[Caenwyr]

Hi all!

Now that I'm starting to get the hang of regional maps a bit, I though I'd start exploring city maps for a change. I've dabbled in city maps already in the past, but that was before I got my little drawing tablet. An unfinished but rather okay example of that old style is Cailltir. Might be I reboot that project some time in the future! If I have some spare time. Which I usually don't have. So yeah, basically never.

However, I do have some spare time for new projects, especially for ones that help me develop my mapping skills. Below is a very early version of the city of Sagitarii. It has nothing to do with the constellation or the mythological figure - it was simply the first name that popped up. Building names etc will also be entirely random: since this is an exercise in map drawing, I can afford to be terribly lazy with the toponymy bit.

Enough talky talk. Here's the WIP!



Next up:

• The outer city wall and some more delicious houses
• some squigglies in the water (naturally!)
• more detail to the castle on the rock
• a handful temples, guild houses and other such public thingamajigs
• terrain squigglies all over the place (except for the water, obviously)
• bridges (at least 4)
• some ships in the harbour - maybe (if I can convince myself that learning to draw those has some use, however faint)
• colour!!

A terribly long list, but hey, nothing like a challenge to start your day .

Also: I just created a portfolio website! Now if you click my signature, it will spit you out there!
