Dante? Oh yeah
!!!
Maybe more stronger shadows for the mountains? It seems fine on the builded part, at least for me.
September 2018 Challenge: Purgatorio
Hi all, I said a little thoughtlessly that I will be in, so I'm in
While tidying up my library, I bumped into The Divine Comedy and realized that I had never gone beyond Purgatorio but that game me an idea. I will try to make a map of Mount Purgatory as Dante imagined it, in a top-down view, which is probably not the easiest way to represent successive elevations, but I want to do it that way
Each part of the spiral represents a terrace, the first being the Ante-Purgatory. I have to add stairs between terraces. The Earthly paradise will be in the center on the green space.
It's not strictly a map of a paradise but certainly a stairway to Heaven !
My first doubt obviously concerns the elevation of the mountain. Is it visible or does it look like a hollow?

I wondered when someone would do a Dante map for this challenge! Nice!i like your textures.
Thanks !
Some stairs (actually I hate stairs) and some work on the Earthly paradise... Hum, it is going very classic, I'll have to refrain myself from putting a big evil snake somewhere... Added Enoe and Lethe rivers meeting together (call the river police !)

Nice work so far, and I think the river police will excuse you. This time!!!

Great entry! Your stairs are really well done, I like that they appear to be carved into the stone.
I can't find the time to work more on this map and I am a bit stuck on it, so... some work on the border

Changed my mind about the border, added some text and a compass rose...

The way you textured the font is very effective, and I love the feeling of movement in the river.
Thanks, I was wondering if they were visible enough.
Second part of the labels and the title, I adjusted some shadows and added a little greenery on the island... and I almost missed the Hell's exit cave
