Village of Marmenadir

[J.Edward]

Hot on the heels of Fuervald is this new town, exploring a region of Luma that I've not gone into before - the Lands of Cardemir.
This one has some Mediterranean Greek influence with roof tiles and colors.
Just a little fishing village up on a rocky ridge by the sea, Marmenadir isn't a big or particularly prominent village.
But there are some interesting things that go on down in the caves....

This one almost made the one-day mark, but then I decided to make some additions and add some boats and blew that.
Took about 16-18 hours spread over 3 days. Still trying to get that one-day town.

Beautiful! I really like how you did the shallow water. And the detail work on the roof tiles is wonderful (but honestly, I bet this level of detail might be difficult to achieve in a single work day). It would take me twice as long to achieve a map with this sort of detail, and it wouldn't look as nice as this one does. Kudos.

P.S. Your speed at map-production keeps out-pacing my ability to rep you

Cheers,

Amazing... three days. You keep blowing me away.

Well, rep when possible but no worries if not possible.
The roof tiles are normally all hand drawn, but this time I tried making some roof tile brushes.
Most didn't work but one did. So these roof tiles were made with a brush I made the other day.
That sped things up massively. It wouldn't work well for a large city I don't think. But for towns and villages that use this sort of roof tile it will help a lot.

Amazing... three days. You keep blowing me away.

Well, the faster I can do these than the more i can do.
So it always pays to try new things that can improve speed.

I really like these new cities and towns you are making. Fantastic stuff! Makes me wish I had an atlas full of your work!

[J.Edward]

Hopefully in time I'll have enough locations from Luma that I can put one together.
And also enough story content too I guess. That's what I'm working toward. Slowly.

Another beautiful village! And this time, it seems than I can rep you, so done!

Gorgeous work J! All those details and neat little choices done in such a short span of time for a great little map, just blows me away.

Excellent map, John!
