February 2019 Challenge: unnamed

[Wingshaw]

So, I've finally had a chance to work on my entry for this challenge. First, though, here is the brief that eViLe-eAgLe gave me (just like the brief that I sent to him, eViLe-eAgle gave me three commissions that I could choose between):

1. Map a continent, or region. In this particular instance, it would be from one of my long-term settings, and I would send you a couple choices of locations.

2. A town or city, that is in encased in snow, surrounding a hot spring lake. This town contains many different races, and should have at-least one fortified location. Otherwise, it's up to you.

3. Following your suggestions -- a color palette. In this case, It would be gray, red, and blue.

So, perhaps unsurprisingly, I chose to go with a snowy city around a hot spring (actually 2). Some of you may recognise an element of J.Edward's city maps in this - not for the first time, I'm emulating his style. I've always been extremely impressed by his natural looking building shapes.

No lore at the moment, but I might try to come up with something for this - unless eViLe-eAgle has something already in mind, of course...

Thoughts and critiques as always are welcome.

*question: does it look strange that the wolves and bear are at different scales to each other?

I like how it's starting! The planned border is a nice touch.

Wow ! That's promising ! The city itself (you went so fast to achieve the structure !) and most of all, the frame... that gives the whole ambiance ! I'm looking forward to see how you'll come through with the snow !!! Great start !!!

No, because they are different pictures. This is looking really fantastic.

Just a note; the WIP scraper picks up the first photo in the post regardless of where the tag is.

No its fine , also couse are ad different angle of view and distance apparently... ANd the Bear is bigger than the trees too apparently .
The Layout looks great !

[Greason Wolfe]

Wolves bigger than bears....Good, good, my evil plan is coming together...

Oh! Hello there, didn't realize I had company....

It looks just fine to me, and I have no problem with the wolves being larger than the bears.

[Ilanthar]

Great start! A wingshaw town is always candy for the eye .

[Azélor]

Interesting layout.

[Diamond]

Yep, great layout. Like Falconius said, the animals look fine because they're different pictures. But once you get farther in and add some color, it may change the look.

[Jaxilon]

Wow, this is looking great.
