    Yes, I love the water polo room and cool pool rooms, they're beautiful. And then OH WHAT'S THAT OVER THERE ERUGH...

    The colours of this just shout out wanting to be explored! I think the latest layout looks good and much nicer to get them all on a single page.

    It's also really cool to see an original webcomic/novel idea on here! Plus, you have the added DnD bonus...

    Thanks, Greg. I wasn't sure how to do it until I decided to handle it exactly like my comic panels, but I prefer it with all 3 leverls on one page too. I'm glad you find the colors exploitative and the original content worthy of a look, I know the fanmaps are more popular, especially in this challenge though (I think only one other person did an original map and everyone else went with known fandoms). Though, I think if anyone had read my comic, this design might trigger a few reminiscent bells, though I didn't go back to read any of it to compare. I feel like it feels like my older work, though, so well... I'M pleased about that, lol, I often wonder if I've fallen off certain horses only for them to go wild.

    I added the fancy capitals to all of the major labels, a logo for an association, changed how I did the walls on level 1 to better show where inner walls were and windows/doors, corrected a small labelling error, added a bit more 'light coming in through windows' on level 1, improved the glass maze and added a bit of the overgrowth there too. And the vine border has gotten a little bit weirder.

    This gets better and better. It's a joy to gaze through the details.

    Thank you. Such a nice comment to receive today, I'm physically in a ton of pain but I've been steadfastly picking at it. Still I don't know if I'll get any furnishings onto level one now, and I would like to at least add a telescope to the balcony level.

    this map is unique. I like unique. I'm not always sure of what I'm seeing, but I know what I like. Your color choice makes things stand out, and I like the over/under feel to things. Great Job

    Thanks, yeah, it's not a typical color scheme for a map, is it? I appreciate the nice comment.

    It's all coming together nice. I like the fancy Capitals.

    This is a really original piece Tiana, and so vibrant! I love that this came from your own webcomic. This makes a terrific entry.

    Cheers,
