    So was this all done in Photoshop? This is just an amazing piece of work!! If it was done in PS, how big was the original map size in inches? I'm guessing you drew each of those buildings individually? That is just insane!! That is a lot of hours of work!

    While you gave us the reason for them not being more "filled in", I'm still a bit sad about it. I think those cities would shine even more with a bit more "solidity" ... they're almost a bit too ethereal atm. Not sure if I am making sense ^^

    Anyway, gorgeous maps, J.
    Thanks Eilathen
    It comes down to time and money. Plus large city maps are so time intensive for light and shadow.
    I could do more work after that which the clients paid for, but then I'd rather spend my free time on my own work, which is already so backed up.

    Thanks Tiana I would hate to have to label all those streets

    A large part of it was done in Manga studio, or clip paint, as it it's called now. Then finished in PS.
    It was 11 x 17, i think. And yes, insane me drew all individually.
