    This looks pretty good bro. The slight cartoonishness hides the detail and work going into it.

    I don't know that I'd say it is cartoonish. It's definitely artsy in an eccentric sort of way that works well with the overall style of the map. This is gonna be a tough round of voting, methinks.

    One's worth is not measured by stature, alone. By heart and honor is One's true value weighed.

    I did some weathering of the map and riffed on it a bit by putting it on a scroll in situ. Here's the fun piece:

    Thank you Djekspek. If I had your talent I could burn mine and never feel the lack.

    Very creative Immolate. As Greason Wolfe said the style clearly fits the challenge.
    Check out my City Designer 3 tutorials. See my fantasy (city) maps in this thread.

    Thank you Gandwarf!

    I decided to apply a displacement map as a final touch.

    This one is also one of my favorites. It has consistent style and great colours. I especially like the dwarven gates at Heimaerr.
