    Thank you Pixie !
    I'm one of those persons who think there is no talent, just work, so I'm sure you would be able to make something similar ! However I must agree : you would definitely need to quit your job : I'm just horrified to see how much time I already spent on it, and I'm so freaking far from the end...!

    Thanks Mouse, but don't give up !!

    So, so, just talked with my client and she's ok for going to an A2 version of the map ! I'm very glad since I think it will really highlight the map itself.
    I made a quick preliminary sketch about how to fill the border : not perfectly balanced for now, but it's just a first rough to open the brainstorming. Any ideas are welcome !

    This is seriously awesome. I've been following its progress silently for a little while, but I can't keep quiet any longer. This is awesome!!

    It's been too long without an update for Kingkel and I can't resist to show you the map with the first shadows (a second pass of shadow+light is to come) and the base color layers
    Colors for the gardens and country are not started yet and I'm not totally sure about the color of the fortifications, but I'm just focusing on the town itself for now.

    Hope you'll like it !

    I am a professional urban planner and designer and I am an enthusiast of city maps, and I have no hesitation in declaring this one of the best - if not the best - fantasy city maps I have ever seen. And it's not even finished yet...

    I can't wait to see the final product!

    Thank you Naima !
    The perspective is inspired from the Braun and Hogenberg maps (for example this one) in their Civitates orbis terrarum liber primus, and I found my own technique as far as I was drawing tiny buildings

    Hmm... I wonder if I'm bad for the health of the Guild members ?

    On top of being one of the best illustrationist, you certainly are a master of perspective ! Such a talent !
