Dwarven Monastery
This is my version of the main location from the pathfinder adventure Hallows Last Hope.
I wanted to try to give the feeling of elevation since the monastery is located at the foot of a mountain.
I think I may have made my walls a little too small to give the appropriate sense of depth in the actual building, but I'm hoping the added shadows help that.
The I posted the first version here with the other maps i made for the module.
Any thought on the elevation and how to better show it.

So here's where I'm at.
The two statues in the front should be weathered and broken but I can't get a good brush to really "break them" up. Haven't added the shadows for them yet, but the entrance/court yard is almost done and then in side.

Been working on it on an off this last week

Thoughts and suggestions welcome
Looking really nice!
Thanks, Chick.
I think I'm about done before I want to start playing with the lighting.

So I started with the interior lighting yesterday, and added windows for a natural light source (thought I think that the place would be lit by torches in my humble (read lighting inept) opinion.
That said it's intentionally dark.
I might make a few more changes like the rubble in the water before it takes a trip to the finished section.
Enjoy.

Nice to see your version of this map - it's coming along really nicely. I have a sketch map I made of this monastery but modified to fit an eastern setting although I didn't really change the layout a great deal. I used the Falcon's Hollow adventure as an L5R introductory adventure - I just changed the setting and some of the plot points/encounters. My map Takauro I posted here a while back is basically an L5R version of Falcon's Hollow. =P
I've always liked this module, but never really felt the map that came with it did the ruins justice.
I'm planning on doing Crown of the Kobold King next
Perhaps I should have looked about a bit more before commenting on the first version of this map you had made in a previous post. This looks much better and the detail you have added really makes it. I particularly like the bit of broken and submerged wall with the runes on it. A very nice touch as it gives a sense of what the walls might look like which is otherwise hard to show on a top-down view.
Great work!
JDCt, oh god the first was was horrid, like the worst. I'm glad you dig the little things, I was just explaining to my wife that my players never really notice that stuff, which is one of the reasons I post here. Thanks.
