November/December 2015 Challenge : Promising Loot in Musfat Spaceport

[Abu Lafia]

Thanks a lot for the kind words Ilanthar, i'm glad you like it! Yes the houses gotten more dense near the centre. Mos Eisley? Never heard of that place!
I found out, the challenge wasn't ending on December the 31 but is actually still going until "around the 3rd of January"... So i added some more houses to the map, mostly outlines and basecolours and also added some glass roofs on some of the buildings. I also put in two more labels of places of interest: the waterworks in the southwestern corner and the "Zahi-Bazar" ( the oval building in the south with the platforms on it).

At least the map looks a bit less empty now.

Nice additions. A lot of buildings... a lot of work! I know how it is. It's a very cool map and you're putting a lot of fun details in it, so I have to support you .

It's looking great. And chaotic!

Your workaround on the perspective issue turned out well, probably even better than before.

Thanks a lot guys. Here's the final upload (for the challenge at least).

Besides more buildings i experimented with drop shadows for the buildings. I also tweaked the colour of the background parchment. since i found it a bit too green. Maybe this impression is due to my new monitor (or better the old one...) but i think it looks better now.
Also, i put the spaceship Meshon did on the central landing platform. I think it's not perfectly "embedded" for now, but as mentioned before, i'm going to continue to work on the map after the challenge anyway.
I somehow miscalculated the amount of work for a map with so many buildings and linework for the landscape, details etc., so i couldn't finish it in time (to be fair, motivational issues and christmas played a role too ). Again, better planning in advance could have spared me some time, but map by map it gets a bit better i think. The main thing i need to tackle on the next projects will be the consistency in the linework i guess.
Thanks for all the feedback critique and friendly support, i greatly appreciate it. Hope you enjoy Musfat Spaceport!
Cheers,
AL

This has come a long way, nice job, liked the old typeface, but like this one even better. Maybe the Old refinery could have longer shadows, they look a little flat still. Your cliffs are superb!
