    Map Cyrdor City Map (Commission)

    I've been quite frantically getting this piece done in the last week, squeezing it in between other work for it's short deadline. My second city map and different in techniques and styles. Plenty I might have done differently with more time and more practice with the new techniques, but it's still good to have another city under my belt.

    What lovely colours you've chosen.

    (I'm having a colour day)

    Don't think I could have done as well in such a short time.

    Congratulations, GLS

    A nice interesting style you are developing there. Sort of reminds me of stained glass. I really like the border as well. Nice work.

    Cheers,

    Pretty good job ! I really like the palette and the difference in building density for the different parts.

    Thanks General! From my only two attempts, they always seem to eat away far much more time than you expect and are difficult to balance out.

    Thanks, I hadn't really thought of it like that, Arsheesh. But now, you mention it, I completely see what you mean, so I'll just say that was the look I was going for all along...

    Cheers, Thomrey I was particularly pleased with how the building density turned out and looked overall. It can be hard to judge when bogged down in drawing them all.

    Nice job on this! I too think the border is nice.

    Some of the bridges (I assume they are bridges) look a bit massive in comparison to the smaller roads, in my opinion.
    The best maps are the ones we like the most after looking at the longest.

    I agree with Arsheesh regarding the stained glass effect. Very interesting city map style and I love the colours.
