City of Lancost (personal project)

[Voolf]

Last month i was making this little isometric illustration. Took me a lot of time to actually finish it, because i was experimenting with various styles.
There is still some things i would like to make differently, but hopefully I can improve with next one

It looks great, Voolf! I think your solution to my comment on the WIP thread makes quite a difference.

Out of interest, I've been wondering lately how you manage to get your lines so fine and precise? Mine always seem very thick and wonky. I assume it has something to do with brush size and image resolution, but I'm not sure...

Thank you.

I use a quick Line tool in Krita to make straight lines. I like it very much. I have my brush tool all the time and when i hold shift the tool changes to line temporarily, so its super easy and fast to switch between them. What's also great about Line tool in Krita, is that it will pick up how hard i push with my pen on tablet all the way from start to end. That means I got controll of thinkness of the line on its entire lenght making it thick at some part and almost invisible at the other.

I also use very small brush to begin with for linework. I usually don't go over 5px and mosly its 3px basic round hard brush with pen sensivity on.

Looks amazing. I love it. Really nice, quaint little area. Great style and beautiful rendering. Perspective is pretty solid and overall I just love the whole feel of the place. Can imagine just walking into it, inhabiting the place, be it in real life or something such as a game. Great work!

I really have to give Krita a try one of these days! My lines are super wonky even when they aren't meant to be straight, I could use all the help I can get


Awesome map, man. The buildings are great, and I love how the forest fades into the background there.
Calling it the Oldtown District seems to imply there is more to this city - off you go, map it! We want more!

That sounds like a really useful tool - I really should revisit Krita again.

Thanks, that's really useful. I might look into using Krita myself...

Mine are wonky too, that is why i use the Line tool most of the times when dealing with buildings. When i get a display tablet one day, i hope to do it by hand. I will have more controll over the lines then on traditional tablet.
Oh there is more, but i feel fulfield enough with just that one for the time being

It is. You should give it a go.

You are welcome.

... I use a Cintiq for the 3rd year now and I still can't do neat lines to save my life...

So precise, so neat ! The illustration looks wonderful !
As the other says : the perfection of this drawing is in its precision ! Congratulations for the application and the patience it took !
