    Wow, that's a strong contender - that iso view is very convincing and looks great next to the side-view.

    Thanks for all the positive posts. I did some additional sketching and minor edits. I'll post a better version when I have a chance to scan (rather than photograph) the new stuff.

    Any thoughts on layout for the various maps? I'm not sure about the top-down floor plan.

    Trying a new layout, which now includes a top-down map of the underground portion (which my wife refers to as the Raccoon City Hive).

    This is looking pretty fantastic

    I love all the different views - especially the isometric one

    All views look really good. I love the main illustration and really hope you get to add some colour into it soon.

    Great stuff!

    I'm not tagging the colored version as a WIP because I don't think I'll use it in my final map for this particular challenge, but we'll see!

    Okay, I had some time to work on this! I had a vague recollection of a brochure for a castle that I toured in Germany and decided it'd be fun to present my Greystone Abbey maps and sketch as a brochure. It still needs some details added and some minor edits but it's getting close to being done!

    Here's the non-color version, which I thought I'd like better but I'm actually leaning towards the color. (Thanks, Weery...i'm not sure I would have done any coloring without your input!)

    Any preferences on color versus not color?

    Wow, this is really nice! I like the color one as well. I can't believe you did so many maps!

    Hey Aeshnidae,

    I kind of assumed you were going to put colour in to the main illustration I'm glad you decided to, it looks great.

    And I love the brochure idea as well. I was wondering how you were going to display such a variety of maps but you found an excellent method.

    I'm siding with you in that I prefer the colour one of course.

    Great job

    I can't believe I was able to draw something other than a map!

    Okay, color one it is...just gotta find a bit of time to work on the final details.
