Stop talking and start posting WIPs!
Haha, just kidding of course. But I am kinda excited. Loved the first map and I am a sucker for town maps.

Worked on the map a little today...
- I got impatient and started experimenting with the textures. I'm not sure if the water is exactly what I'm going for. The ground I also have mixed feelings about. The buildings I like and may add a few more different textures to add some variation.
- I also need to add the "unique" buildings
- Need to mess around with the road texture a little more to get more sand in there
That is looking really SWEEEEET

Next up --
- Still can't take myself away from texturizing, so I added water, mountains, building finishes.
- Started to add special buildings. I tried experimenting with posterization, but it still needs more work. My idea is that each the largest building will be more unique, sort of like how the Empire State is different from the Woolworth building , which is different from the Chrysler building. These huge towers will hold the major houses and political centers.
- Still need to experiment with the colors more, I want to capture a more lifeless, smokey, stinking city, not a water color painting
Thoughts? Suggestions?
Color sets the mood so I would gray up that ocean to reinforce what you're trying to convey and the blues in the ocean kind of counter that. Murky colors = murky emotions. I think the yellows around the beaches are too bright as well. I try to think murky, dark and brooding thoughts when making something to look that way (which is like 90% of what I do
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.
