Ok I see ! They are really little !
But I like the way you managed to draw sometimes two legs. I think they give lives to the whole city, but I'm not sure your city needed life : it's gorgeous anyway !
You haven't drawn horse carriages.. pfff, and half the city is misteriously unpopulated.. pff. Seriously, Misty, is this the best you can do?
(Love it!! in case you don't get the joke)

Oh, uh... I'm surely doing my best. At least, I try to
(My time tracker is saying 187h18 exactly. But for some reason I didn't counted the time spent for base color layers (all houses in white, all roofs in red, etc.), so it's a 'little' more).
You're welcome, hope I helped
Actually... there is a few carriages (but not much because I hate drawing them ^^)

Sometimes, this map reminds me those kind of insane art by Hiro Kamigaki where you have to find 5 gold cup, 3 dogs, a lion...!
(And a big thanks for the rep, even if you don't love the map ^_^).
Hehe, I just realise I drew them like the chinese character for "human", so they have long legs but no brain : don't trust them if they speak to you, they're not smart at all
(And in case this would produce a misunderstanding : I'm not Chinese and don't know Chinese ^^. But when I was in university, I had a hand injury and had to find a way to take notes with a minimum of efforts, so I learned a few basic Chinese characters : human, big, small, etc., and then created ton of personal symbols, codes and finally when I look at my old lessons now, they look like cryptography, and I'm definitely the only one who can read them ^^').
Still not sure if I should populate the town or not. I'll do a print test to see how they look like on paper, this may help
I just can't believe it, but I think... the map itself is done. With last shadows & lights, tiny people everywhere, a surprise island requested by the client... and a temporary title & compass for this "non-informative" version. Ooooh... yep, I think it's done
Hope you'll enjoy !

Um... I seem to have missed some updates on this. This is just gorgeous, Misty! Sheesh, I'm jealous!!
Check out my portfolio!
This is an amazing map and I love your colors. I don't know how you find the patience for doing all this details. Very impressive!
Merci Narc !
Haha, thanks Caenwyr ! ^^'
To be honest, I'm not sure the process was that interesting, so you didn't miss so much ^^
Thanks a lot Neyasha ! I'm glad you love the colors, since I had some difficulties to find the best balance (and I don't know why, the roofs looks almost pink when I print it... not sure if it's my screen or my printer ). It was a pleasure to draw the line work, but I'm happy I don't have one more layer to add : I passed 6 or 7 times on every single building ! ^^'
Stunning, and a really lovely color palette, this turned out beautifully.
