Hollace, Isometric city map

It's definitely very slow going though, to get to this point was several hours work since the last scan.

I feel your pain, mine follow the same trend.

A big second on the border though, excellent work. The caricatures are unique, giving off a hard gothic vibe, almost like gargoyles.

I'd love to see something a bit toned down color saturation wise for this one. Not that your previous color choices are egregious, mind you.

One tiny critique, if you will. The small draw bridge over the river looks geometrically odd, though finding words for exactly how remains elusive, something with the posts. I honestly think the bridge sits too high compared to everything else on the rivers edge as well, but some confirmation on that from others would be helpful, my brain is mush after 30 hours between two jobs in 3 days. Bedtime.

Hi Adfor, thanks for the kind words about the caricatures, I'm really pleased with the way they turned out.

I think I can see what you are saying about the bridge on the previous progress image. Hopefully, it will look a lot more grounded in the scene and to scale once I add in more of the detail around it, it is kind of floating in space at the moment especially at one end.

In terms of the colour palette, were there certain colours that I usually use that you thought were a bit oversaturated or is it just that I generally use quite saturated colours. I will need to resupply with some colouring pencils for this one as my trusty medium green that I generally use for the ground colour is pretty much spent after my last map. I am kind of limited in the palette I use by the range of pencils I have available, I've tried some blending in the past but in general this only really works in small areas.



In general though, the feedback on colour is quite helpful. I probably do tend to go for a very saturated look as, since I'm mildly red/green colour blind, this looks much better to my eye.

Anyway, here is the latest update. I put in a few more hours work with the inking in, mainly in the city itself.
