The Smuggler's lair (Tavernier's tutorial)

[Voolf]

Spectacular work JO. It's almost like Guillaume map. I also thought you just took his linework and colour it at first... it is proof just like good you are.

[Falconius]

That is so good. Like J.Edward I also thought you were sharing one of Guillaume's map from the thumbnail. I've had that tutorial opened up in a tab for many days, since he put it up, but still haven't gotten around to it. I think I need to get on that with inspiration like this.

Superbe, you got the colors and light effects I think

[MistyBeee]

That's great, Jo ! I look forward to see how you'll turn what you learned there in your future maps !

This is great - I really like the colours, especially on the water! My only (minor) criticism is that the perspective is a little off on the tops of the pillars - they don't seem to be level with the tops of the walls. But it's not very noticeable. The whole thing is beautifully atmospheric - I'd love to see more of this kind of thing.

Oh, that is GREAT. Gorgeous colors and the light sources are amazing. I am in awe, and this goes right into my inspiration folder.

You did a great job, and i did not know the tutorial above! I'll try to experiment a bit with that too, thank you!

You are really hard with yourself ! The only differences for me are a slightly vivider color palette for your image and less assured strokes but besides those tiny differences, you are pretty close to the quality of Guillaume's work ! What you have really well captured IMO is the lighting technique. A fabulous map and I cannot wait to see more ! You certainly know this one but let's post it anyways, his fortified farm, not really tutorial but process. Almost one and a half hour of coloring without comments.

Your map is amazing Joël

Thanks a lot Thomas ! Moreover because I didn't know Guillaume Tavernier's work until you mentioned it !
I'm glad you like this illustration... and as you said, the strokes makes a lot of difference : I had trouble adjusting to this brush, and I know I changed techniques during the whole process.. Sometimes I was glad with what I was doing, and for some other points, I found myself with my old unassured "childish" stroke... I really should practice more... If only I could retire now
Thanks for the link ! I didn't know he was using Sketchup or something like that for his building !

I agree with Thomas, you achieved a very good look here Joel.
When I first saw it, I thought you were sharing one of Guillaume's maps.
I love the color. You did a fine job.

wow ! I'm proud to have misled you regarding the author or this map !
Thanks John... I was looking a bit in your finished maps, but I could'nt find that kind of dungeons. Have you tried it already ?
