I will be making a map of the city, eventually, but since I've been using Vue Creator, a 3D terrain generator, I needed an illustration of Kaidan-kyo, the capital city of the Kaidan empire. It took forever to render, so I thought I'd post the results.

The background of the image: the lake, the woodlands and the skyline including the Japanese castle took 38.5 hours to render using Vue Creator. The foreground: a red maple tree, some cattails in the water, the ficus, the stone lantern and the geisha, also created in Vue Creator took only 7 minutes! I just tweaked it today and am finally done. I think it turned out well. Enjoy!
