It is breathtaking !
I feel you ! I spend the afternoon cleaning a direct to ink project with few pencil marks but on dotted paper ... Had to erase all the dots and it's a bit tedious ...

Thanks!
That's annoying, isn't it? Were he dots in a different colour, or just as grey as the pencil? I recently figured out how to use the "Black & White" adjustment to filter colour out in Photoshop, which made me really happy.

Yesssss, you put windmills on some of the towers! Looking pretty great, by the way.

Of course! It's the Dutchman in me And thank you.

Latest and maybe final update. I'm going to let this one cool down for a bit now. I started out with very desaturated and light colours but (as usual) it became darker and brighter over time. Right now, I'm so blind from staring at the map that I can't really see if this is what I really wanted or whether or not it looks okay. Especially light/dark contrast between grass and water is troubling me a bit - they seem to be equally bright.

Any comments/criticisms? I'd love to hear your thoughts.

The simple rose is astoundingly effective ! The ribbon is masterfully shaded and I love your toned down colors. One thing I'd do differently is the streets. For me they either need texture or color.

Thanks for your advice on black & white adjustment. I tweaked the scanning process and the dots in the lineless areas have been erased or greatly blurred out, the problem are the dots in the areas where the linework is dense. For these, as I want to keep the ivory background, I'll have to be patient

It looks so cool Brian
Not that I figured anything else with you behind the wheel, or pencil.. pen.. whatever. ;P

This is looking gorgeous! I love how you manage to keep your colours toned down yet very to the point. Linework is awesome

Calling it done! I made a few minor changes based on the feedback I got. Thanks for the help and support!

Awesome! Your line shading is beautiful. I love tiny detail and feel your pain about drawing straight lines.
