Esthrepan et le golfe d'Aurée

[- JO -]

Hello Guild companions!

Here's a view of the city of Esthrepan, which keeps the entrance to the Gulf of Aurée (Aurée is the city that we guess in the background).

It's a picture that join the collection of cities, castles and regions of the world of Nossym, that I continue to map.

This one is a little different from the others, it is located on another continent, west of the one I drew partiallyt.

I know that one day, I'll try the map of the world ... but not for now ...

Anyway, I hope you'll like this landscape...

Critics & comments welcome !

Absolutely lovely!

I love it! Those reflexions on the water are stunning, and I like that you did not go for the typical blue skies and shining sun, it gives a totally different atmosphere!

Merci beaucoup Mimine ! I like to explore different atmosphere, but it's not alway successful ...

Nice work JO
I agree, the reflections look great.

This is really good!

The cliffs, reflections in the water and the perspective is good.

One things that looks strange is the buttress arches on the tower with the yellow flag.
It would look better like this and make more sense in my opinion: https://www.alamy.com/stock-photo-sl...3d1%26flip%3d0

This is beyond beautiful, JO. I love it. Can't rep you right now though, unfortunately

This is beautiful. I especially like the water, full of reflections.

However, upon critical inspection, I will note that the shadows don't actually match the position of the sun, unless this is a two-sun world and you've got another high in the sky.

Let's forget English for a moment, shall we ?!

C'est à tomber par-terre ! La vue d'ensemble est splendide, la clash des styles est un pur régal ! Ces eaux ultra réalistes, ce ciel impressionniste et ces bâtiments et forêts aux allures de dessins qui prennent vie tellement tu as réussi tes ombres et tes reflets (mais putain, ces reflets de fou dont tu as doté tes bâtiments et qui donnent l'impression qu'ils sont baigné dans l'aube du monde dans un animé du studio Ghibli !!!) ! C'est merveilleux, je n'ai rien d'autre à dire à part que je reviendrais répandre ma rep comme un fan onaniste !

PS : heureusement que j'écris en français, ça n'aurait pas passé la censure

I love those reflections!

Very beautiful, Jo.
