A new town

[Chlodowech]

Another update - probably the last one for today. The left half of the lower town is done, and I added a tavern next to the main road.



And the full view:



(i got absolutely no clue why this is turned the wrong way now...)

Suburb‘s done basically - apart from the damn fences argh and some bits of the monastery, like the mill and the graveyard. Now there will come the town wall and then a lot of vegetation, and since i don’t want to ruin the drawing with it, there‘ll be some planning and testing on extra sheets.

[Chlodowech]

Now for the town wall. I‘ve started by the east end, between the monastery and the town church that has kept a portion of the older wall. Fortification-wise it’s a mess - wooden overhangs, stone projections, wooden top floors of towers, a turret etc. but in the end I’m still happy with the result.

Chlodowech your perspective work is awesome! I really love the 15th century feel you're achieving here, the buildings are looking great!

[Chlodowech]

First of all, thank you Adfor!

Then i'm glad to say that i finally finished all the planned stuff on the town part of the drawing, which means all houses, the town wall AND the damn fences.



Now there comes more planning, and more nature, which i'm scared of since it wouldn't be the first drawing that i've ruined with it.

This is still looking fantastic I'm glad you drew the bridge tower, it looks great. Moving upriver, is there a miller's wheel attached to a building there? It's a bit unclear if so (when compared to the rest of your linework that is).

As for the perspective and topography you've illustrated all I can say is wow! I'm blown away by it Chlodowech And I love your border choice and the research you used to decide upon it also.

Also, I'm so jelly of your pace without a drop in quality! Great work and I look forward to you adding 'more nature'

This is glorious. Love what you have here.

I can't even handle how great this piece is. The level of detail and skill makes me truly envious. I look forward to seeing it finished!

[Chlodowech]

A bit late, but thanks to you all

I‘ve picked up work on this map again, and even though the Eguisheim map didn’t end up as a testing environment, i still learned a lot from it. As a result, i restarted this one immediately with some nature planning that i‘ve worked My way around before:

Truly impressive work, especially considering the scale. The level of detail you are achieving is unbelievable in such a small scale. Definitely captures the look of a late medieval/early renaissance central European town. Looking at your drawing reminds me of my time in Germany in the late 1980s.
