The airship port town of Haalthran [commission]

[J.Edward]

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 was fun working on a mesa.

Thanks Robin
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 .

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.

A nice idea and great work again! :-)
