Nexus, city of legends [commission]

[J.Edward]

My drawing hand gets sympathy cramps just looking at that sea of buildings!
I'll never understand how you do it.

hehe, Thanks Kell
I'm a glutton for punishment. ;P

This is an amazing piece of work! Do you plan to color in the buildings? I guess they will stand out more when they are in a different color from the background.

Thanks Jerron. No, this is as the client requested.
Partly due to cost, but also in keeping with previous map style.

Spectacular and stupendous! Sadly, I can't rep you this time, but it is exceptionally well-deserved.

There is one thing about this map that, compared to your usual city maps, niggles (for lack of a better word) at me a little bit: Nexus is a lot less colourful than your usual maps. Was that part of the commission brief, or a design choice?

Thanks George
The same applies here - mainly cost/time to produce.
At this size, full color would have more than doubled time to produce, and thus more than doubled price.
Plus it is in a similar style to Archensheen, previously commissioned by them.

So.Much.Detail!!

It is a lot.
Thanks Bogie

Amazing map ... The level of details is absolutely stunning ! And the way the map "cut" the city gives an impression of hugeness ! Briliant idea !!!

Thanks Joel
Yeah, I decided to do that so that we could get close enough for the details the client wanted, but also so people knew it continued out further.
It's supposed to be a huge city. The original spec was for an even larger city.

Dagnabit! I'm running out of drool. Great job on this, as usual.

Thanks Greason
I have some droolish maps coming soon.

This looks amazing!

Thanks GoM
