    Map Nexus, city of legends [commission]

    I was contacted again by 2c Gaming, who I worked with in 2017 to produce Archensheen.
    This time we visit Nexus, the city of Legends, which sits at the convergence of a collection of universes, or dimensions.
    So it's sort of a hodge-podge of periods and technology.

    I was glad to be able to work with them again.
    They will be running a kickstarter for this project, so I'll keep you posted.
    Or follow them on social media -

    The kickstarter is live - Nexus, city of legends

    Whoa, that's really something! I'm really impressed with how well you've managed to represent the convergence between the different dimensions in the layout of this map. The circular, somewhat radial design of each of the dimensions/city centers gives the impression that each dimension is colliding with the others like the ripples of rain drops on a pond. Very cleverly designed.

    Cheers,

    Thanks Arsheesh
    It was a challenge. I had a few false starts and redoes.
    This map is definitely a testament to why thumbnail sketches are so important before jumping in.

    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.

    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?

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