It's fun, but is taking much longer than I thought...anyway here is the next iteration, a few test labels, with the wharves to do next.
All of those things stuck together kind of look like Legos. I like Legos so that's coolThis is looking quite fun.
If the radiance of a thousand suns was to burst at once into the sky, that would be like the splendor of the Mighty One...I am become Death, the Shatterer of worlds.

You can't rush a city map
Good job so far, I am liking this latest version better.

And so it goes on....it never ends. Pretty much finished the city and have started the labelling. I think I'm mad.
The problem is that once you put one bit of detail in a map you have to put it all over the map and that way lies hell.
Ah yes... been there, done that.
Love the labeling thus far though.

Why Gandwarf? Why do we do this to ourselves? The labelling is fun though (in a masscochistic way).
Can you read the house numbers? j/k!
Well, I think city mapping is almost a religion. Placing the buildings is like praying
It can be very relaxing though... clear your mind after a day's work and just keep clicking.

I try to avoid labels at all costs. If I could make maps without labels then they'd just be pretty artworks so I am forced to put words on my "paintings"...dagnabit all. Looks good so far though.

Oh man, Ascension, I love labels. for me they really make the map.
Last update before bedtime. Lots of streetnames tomorrow! Yay (ugh).
I've been resisting taking it into raster to give it textural beauty (probably shows), but I'm quite pleased with the results. It's taking a self contained feel which I like.
Gand, don't know about praying but I do find myself humming the same tune over and over while I'm clicking.
