March Challenge Entry: Iwaizumi

[Najmir]

Well, I took a break from New Port to have a go at my first challenge.

I have had a lot of ideas over the past few days picking the right idea is the hard part. I am going to mix a few styles together to get what will hopefully be a nice map. I will be mixing a little 2D sketch work with some ISO and a nice deep colour rich environment. Even with the snow I think it might work.

Firstly I will build the location as though it were mid summer. Then I will "Let it snow, Let it snow, Let is snooowwww", or something like that. Any ways here is what I slapped together tonight to give an idea of where I am heading.

The buildings will be scaled down a little more or the map wil be zoomed a little but that is a decision for another day.

Any CC would be much appreciated.

Also do we generally post challenge WIP at full res or is it normal to scaled it down a bit?

Current Features:
Mill
Gov's Fort House. I have chosen an odd representation for my palisade. I thought it a nice change from the typical circle. It still represents a circle just with a bit of a twist. Towers to come on the east and west walls.
Ford
Road Structure
Land Lay
Water fall/rapids (to the north)
River
Elevation - (the balck is actually in the mid plane. My other layers have messed the elevation around a little)
Farm Land Layout
