Commission: Sheinar, Capital of the Six-Cities Confederacy
This is the first of four cities I am doing for the Soulshard D&D campaign setting. They will accompany
Sapiento's regional and world maps.
This one is done in Photoshop with a little assistance from Illustrator for smoothing some bitmaps and editing some smart-objects.
.... Just for tilt... I added an unlabeled version that has desaturated and lighter sunbaked-clay-looking rooftops plus more shadow to help the relationship between city and fields

Absolutely incredible. Awesome job!
I am utterly impressed! I've been wanting to try my hand at a town/city map for some time now, and this map is one of two that will serve as my primary inspiration. Looks like I can't rep you for it yet though.
Cheers,

Terrific!!!! I've snagged a copy for my reference folder. Have rep!
You've really raised the bar on citywork with this one....gobsmaking!
I can't rep you again A2 (after your last opus), but rest assured I am repping you in spirit.
Amazing work (adding the adoring smiley).
Very Nice!

Damn, that's crazy awesome. Almost a perfect satellite shot. Truly impressed again, mate, so keep up the great work.

I love this style you have here. It's very close to an actual picture but has just enough touch to allow the fantasy to totally live. Extremely well done!
