Oh, this is an interesting map Meshon! I love how you worked the plateau levels with the ramps. Also a fantastic job drawing the hover(?) sleds in this scale, they look so great! Are you allowed to tell us, what these red blobs are? The Sherlock in me can only deduct they're some kind of lifeform, since they group around the waterholes... ?

Erm… yes. The art brief mentioned some red vegetation clustered around the waterholes. I'm glad you deduced that! Once again, it was an issue of scale, thinking to myself, how can I show plants when everything is so tiny?

Really cool - very well done I think I just might have to rep you

Well thank you! That's very kind

I love mazes.... and that's not just my mouse persona speaking. I just love them. I could wander around this map for ages finding all the dead ends and discovering how to get at all the points of interest.

Great map, Meshon

Thank you, feel free to wander! It was a great part of the process when I realized that all those walls were going to create a certain kind of texture that would fill the map. Moar linez!

Nice perspective !

Oh boy, thanks. I'm pretty new to perspective drawing and it took me some serious dithering time to work it out and decide if it was going to be okay.

Depicting the city described in the brief sounds like a real challenge, and I think you've met that challenge well in this piece. Nice execution.

Thanks, it was really interesting to interpret the art brief. With some of the commissions I've been doing, I'm beginning to get the idea that part of it is a sort of technical illustration, as in "I am going to render your requirements with light and shadow," and partly "Okay, I hear what you've asked for but I'm going to do this other thing that will make it work!"

This is a really neat map and different map. Great job.

I'm glad you like it. I gotta say that each time I come to a map I have to deal with the part of me that says, "I've never done anything like this before, I don't know how to do this!" and then morphing that into "Well, I know how to do some stuff, and I have some ideas, so maybe I'll just get started and see what happens."

This is really cool, love the style of the map, plateau are done nicely and gives it a lot of dimension, great job, like to see more of this style

I'm really looking forward to getting some time to play around with things again, one of the hazards of doing commissions is that I'm feeling like my mapping time is a little more restricted. I'm not complaining! Just looking forward to play time

That's pretty darn cool! Now I want to see what it looked like before it was ruined...

Oooh, now there's an idea!

Interesting map Meshon. I like the perspective a lot and those walls without roofs creates quite nice picture.

Thanks you! At some point I decided that the ruins would largely be texture, because the scale inhibits much detail. The angular lines basically make the perspective happen.

And of course, the walls provide a maze for a mouse to wander…

Thanks for checking out the map everyone, I really appreciate the comments!

Cheers,
