    Map Seatown

    My practice town is finished! The labels are all quite generic, as I may yet offer it for sale or download, if I can figure out how to set that up on my website. It was fun!

    That's really good, LizardInk. The main thing that jumps out at me, when you zoom into the map, is the roof texture you've got. I find it a bit too blurry and digital looking.

    I could offer all kinds of suggestions for the layout of the town, but I'll stop myself from doing that. The two things I would mention, though, are the docks and surrounding landscape. For a town called Seatown, they're rather small and I'd expect to see much more buildings around them. Secondly, if they're not getting their food from the sea, I don't know where it is coming from: there's no farmland at all around that city.

    Overall this is a nice map with a good colour palette. I like the sea texture a lot.

    This looks really nice. The one question I have is why is there a wall with towers around the prayer garden? This does not make sense to me but there could be a reason (thus why I am asking). Besides that the colors seem to work together and the whole city looks rather smart, though I would agree with Wingshaw about the layout a bit!

    See, THIS is the advice I was looking for when I put this in the WIP thread! Haha. Thanks, guys, this is really helpful and I may go back and tweak a bit more before I put it up for downloads or something. (I CAN explain the prayer garden walls--the rich folk don't like sharing their prayer garden with the poor folk, basically. Isn't class discrimination nice? LOL)

    Very nice work. I love the legend in the style of a sail!
