    Map The airship port town of Haalthran [commission]

    Here's another one from a set of maps I created for a client back in 2017 for a campaign loosely called Deliverance for the Skybourne setting.
    The publication date was not certain, so I was told I could post them now rather than wait.
    I will update with links when/if the game module goes to print. As of now, I have no link for the product.

    The environment had a lot of airship travel and large desert regions.
    I posted the Airship Merlin last week in this thread.
    This is one of the airship port towns in the game, the port of Haalthran.
    It is set into a mesa, with most of the town at the mesa's base and the airship port on top.
    The client didn't have me add labels so these are just some I added for a more finished look.

    Look for more from this series, Deliverance, in the next weeks.

    I have to say, advertising for your self isn't fun. Well, for me it isn't.
    Makes me uncomfortable slinging my links everywhere.
    Anyways, I am getting closer to done with a really big set of maps I was commissioned to do.
    Not sure when I will be able to post those, but once done I can get back to some more Guild activity.
    Maybe even get into and finish my second city section.
    Cheers, J

    Just love it, J. ! Definitely your style, but with something slightly different I can't pick up...?
    Anyway, it's always a pleasure to get lost on your maps !
    Would be great to see it in color too ^^

    As I said over at DA, the simple elegance of hte terrace roofs and the clever complexity of your rocky terrain, everything merges fabulously to give an immersive impression. Great work !

    Yep, this is just glorious, John. I have to second Misty: seeing this in colour would be fantastic.

    Gorgeous!
    The best part is how the buildings are merging with the rocks, creating a unique mood!

    Thank you Beee
    I think it seems different because it doesn't have any shadow.
    It was a choice the client made to get a lower cost.
    Maybe it may see some color. Who knows.

    It's fun working with strong prominent rock features.

    Great map! I love the the design and ideas and I'm once again impressed by all the things you can convey with "just" lineart.
    I want to take a cold drink in the aero inn .

    It was fun working on a mesa.
    This gives another meaning on working on a table .

    That Inn would have an awesome view.
    It was hard not to include shadow. But, maybe if I do a color version... maybe.
