    This is a thing of beauty. I've never been a fan of city maps, finding most to be uninspiring - I vastly prefer regional and world maps. This one however, is beautiful. The crest is exquisitely detailed, and the branches look organic. The ships are beautiful and vibrant, the buildings look good, and the little island is great. The fields look realistic, the forests look amazing... *sighs with pleasure* I could go on and on.

    You've changed my views on city maps

    Haha, that is awesome to hear Dragon I love city maps. Well, I love maps in general, so can't say I like city maps more... but they do have their place and it's good to hear it changed your mind.

    This award is long overdue. J.Edward is among the very finest artists here at the Guild. His work has consistently raised the bar for excellence in map creation. Earlier this year J.Edward finished work on project that was a whole year in the making. While it is the case that much of his work is award-worthy, The City of Haerlech stands out even among his own body of work, as distinctively impressive. This city map is strikingly rich and vibrant, with its rolling green hills, its sapphire marina and gilded heraldry. Panning in over the city and its surroundings affords the viewer an opportunity to appreciate just how much work went into this piece. The sheer number and variety of buildings alone is impressive, but where I feel the map shines most is in the harbor and the fields surrounding the city. Lush forests and groves abut ambling roads and lanes. A myriad colorful fields adorn quaint villages and hamlets. Dozens of ships bearing colorful sales rest in Haerloch's docks. The whole city is at once idyllic and familiar. I have spent hours admiring this piece. That I continue to find something new each time I do so is a testament to the amount of loving detail that has gone into this map. J. our hats are off to you, this is indeed a truly remarkable achievement!
