Toonsville - a map to appear in a comic book!

Thanks Rafal!

Here's another update, this time with all of Man-Hattan finished!

Toonsville (2021.06.24b).jpg

But hoo boy did it take long: well over 8 hours! All of the shading got me. Once we get to lower buildings again, I'm sure I'll move along faster. But I wanted to get it right, not vague and unconvincing.

Most of the region is fairly typical for a skyscraper city: tall, slender towers with lots of glass (although in this top-down version you can only see the concrete roofs of the buildings except for those that have a slight angle to them. So I added a fair amount of "cheese graters", pointy pyramids and other tapering shapes). No two buildings are equally tall, as witnessed by the shadows, and there's a ton of variety in shapes and sizes. Bonus points if you can find the helipad!

Then there's Futuropolis, a futuristic section near the northern edge of Man-Hattan. The most eye-catching feature here is the massive tower adorned with two discs like looming UFOs. There's two versions of the image in attachment: one with just this massive tower, and one where it also has lights pouring from the bottom illuminating the lower buildings (which are still skyscrapers in their own right!). Apart from this one huge building, there's also a modern take on a triumphal arch just to the west, a large blocky conference hall-type building with an undulating purple roof and a sprawling hall (covering 8 blocks!) with an orange roof made of interlocking facets, like a gem. finally, there's this one building in the bottom right with six identical super tall and super slender towers dwarfing almost all other buildings. These towers have pulsating orange lights at the top.

Count me impressed with the work already done!
