February 2019 Challenge: The Sundown Cities

[Diamond]

I'm just not going to have time to do any experimenting with 'Sundown Shading' like I wanted to, so this will have to be the end. I added in the few extra woodlands I wanted to, changed the roads, softened/blurred the cities and lightened their opacity just a bit to be more in line with the other elements, and added in a few pictures.

As always amazing work Diamond! I love all the special illustrations you are using here with the knights/warriors throughout the map.

Great work Diamond. This looks amazing. I especially like the minimalistic yet convincing way that you represented the forests

Cheers,

Thanks! I always want to try and do my own artwork for stuff like that, but I never have time and just take the lazy way out. Maybe someday...

Thank you. Whew! I'm glad someone liked the forests. I HATE drawing them, but I was kinda pleased with the way these turned out. It's not too far off from what I'd visualized in my head when I started, so I consider that a win.

You always go on about eating other mappers' brains, but you sure have enough for yourself, it seems to be! Lovely map, awesome 100 %!

Fantastic job on this, Diamond! Wonderful layout of all the details and rendering of them, I enjoyed exploring it...and the background image gave it an extra dark mood.
