    Other than the boulder sized cobble used for the street texture, and that odd curving structure in the top center this is gorgeous! The colors are spot on with the Victorian theme. I would suggest scaling down the street texture to the proper size for cobble, enhance the shadows a bit more on the roofs to give them better slope, and perhaps randomize the chimneys just a bit to give the houses a little more organic feel. The hard curves of the train depot and that structure in the top center could be smoothed a bit as well. Overall, this is going to be another exceptional map from GP! Beautiful!

    Looking good, and I love the colour scheme.

    The houses need a drop shadow, currently they look like they are painted on the ground. Your chimney shadows are all over the place. I'm not convinced by the large brick texture on the curving building - the direction of the texture is really at odds with the shape of the building. Finally, the trees could do with a bit of shading on the trees themselves - currently they look like flat discs of leaves above the ground.

    Sorry for being picky, but I think this is a great map and a few tweaks will make it even better.

    I love the font and the feel of the map as a whole. I'm glad Dementia5 is working well. Sounds like a good pairing.

    Post update...

    OK, an update to the Shropley Court, London 1891 map, colors may be slightly different - its actually hard to duplicate, but I made the changes mentioned above your suggestions from RPMiller and Torstan. Plus a couple additional changes as per request by the publisher.

    Notably, the train station turned into the villain's manor house - not my decision. Added a link to a tavern inn to its south.

    Next another train station map and two coach train cars, and perhaps a locomotive. Then village and Castle with dungeon to wrap things up.

    Updated version below.
