wow, that is a lot of work, but indeed the result is looking very promising! (hehe secretly i was hoping you found the anwser to the 1-million-dollar-question: "how to make a good looking citymap without drawing all the houses individually"?cheers

Actually I wanted one too when I made my roofstyle. But I actually had not a single wooden texture, and it didn't seem important enough to make one at this early stage. Once all the houses are placed and I have some streets I promise that I'll try wooden roofs.Originally Posted by tilt
it looks really good. Would love a wooden texture on the roofs though, but that's just me
For now I have to keep you patient with some more stone houses. Fortunatly I'm reaching the areas with some of the more interesting buildings:
Great work!
Wow, that must be horribly painstaking. Still, from where I'm sitting, it definitely looks worth it! Can't wait for the finished product.
Hi there,
good to see that you all like it so far. Seems like I'm on the right path.
And now, finally, I'm done with the houses. Except a few special ones they're all placed
The mansions with a wall around were a pain in the A to make because the walls had to be cut exactly 5px under the house in order to get the shadows right.
I've also included a first draft of Piergeiron's Palace (picture three). I think it looks quite good so far but I had no luck in finding a good white colour for it until now as it is built of white marble. I think I'll have to try a different texture to get it right.
The next thing to do will be the landscape and the streets so it should look like map soon.
Till then
PS: thanks for the rep!

Concerning the marble: Would the marble even be visible? Wouldn't you just see the roof anyways?
Concerning the map: SO many houses, you are insane but in a good kind of way...
Concerning the signature: Sounds like a bit of Terry Pratchett's wisdom..
Who needs sleep?
Been working all night playing around with the city's wall and finally found something decent. I also got the basic shape of land/water done and have made a nice cobblestone texture which I wanna use for some of the streets.
Well gotta go now, have to work.

Oh yes, you are *quite* mad.
Have some rep.

Fantastisch!
