Mauberg
Mauberg is my first attempt at a city / town map. Buildings seemed like they'd be much easier than they are for some reason, but enjoyed this one even though I struggled to get a color pallet for quite a while, I'm quite happy where it's ended up.
Any critiques are welcome as I continue learning with each one.

Very nice!
Wow, great work! And the autumnal colors are offering a good contrast to the mountains, clever!
I'd like to see more maps done in an Autumn color palette; this one turned out great!
I'm really fond of the perspective you've got here, Pomb. The grand staircased building centering the town is wonderful, awesome job for a first delving into cityscapes!
Cheers!

This is a phenomenal first attempt.
I'm really liking the color choices. But, I always like your color choices.

As everyone else has mentioned, the colors and perspective work are both really well done. I also like how you've done the title and key, it's a nice design. I do think the buildings would benefit from a bit of rendering though; the map just doesn't look quite finished to my eye without it. Otherwise splendid work.

I'll have to echo Arsh on pretty much every point he made. I think the buildings could maybe benefit from a tad stronger shading? Aside from that, it's a fabulous piece and embodies the challenge theme very well! You're well on your way to becoming one of my favorite artists on this site, I really enjoy the style you have.

This is why I have resisted the temptation to take on a city map. I imagine the drawing of the buildings would become incredibly tedious after a bit.Originally Posted by Pomb
You did a nice job here, especially for a first time city map. I think you will do even better on your next one if you decide to do another.
