    I personally love the dark feel and suspect the ornaments will bring contrast to the whole map.

    Thanks for the tip Bogie.
    The lights and shades were not finished yet in previous wip. i hope with this one it will look better? There is much more contrast now.
    Unfortunately to make the lighting effect look nice, the map has to be kind of dark. I tried to brighten it a bit, but then the lighting is less prominent and not so nice.

    Maps looking different on various monitors is a real pain. Just slight difference in colour value or contrast can make a significant change how the illustration will look.
    I realized that not so long ago when i bought new laptop and though I did not see any difference while working in explorer etc. when i saw my maps, the tones of colours looked quite different than on my old PC. Unfortunately I can not tweak the map so that it will look good on every monitor out there

    Thank you.

    More shades, more light, hopefully it's an improvement. Moving slowly to the border.

    Wow, the dark style of your map is working wonderful with the spotlights and the green Mining (?) area! I also like your idea of painting the gate in front view, it fits perfectly to the map so far.

    That looks great. I like the greater contrast between light and dark now.

    Uff.. I am glad lighting is looking better now on your monitor too Thanks.

    Okay... it is done. I enjoyed this project. The last 2 days i was playing with the doors and it was fun to do them
    Overall i like the outcome although i have to work on better frames in the future. The problem is, they are so so time consuming :/

    I hope yu guys like it.
