Good job. I can see Erol Otis's artwork now!
Castle/Keep in Old School Blue
I'm still in my blue period*, so here is my first draft of a castle/keep located next to a river/lake/ocean. The isolated towers are on their own little islands and they have access via the dungeon. I still need to add the various details to the rooms, castle/tower walls, land and water.

Okay, here's the finalized version (until I start tweaking it again that is).

I've started the dungeon level. I still need to do the upper levels for the keep and the towers/walls.

Love the keep Turgenev...

This looks great T. I could look at this style all day long. Brings back memories of the slightly dusty feel and smell of the pages in my hands.

Very nice indeed. Lovely castle.
Thanks for the compliments, guys. It is good to be drawing fantasy based maps again (I've been doing Sci-Fi ship plans lately).
Here is the dungeon for the castle.

Rooms #14, 20 & 23 are the entrances to the island towers. Personally, I can see the walls/ceilings/floors of areas 13, 19 & 22 could be wet with condensation (the water of the lake/river/ocean surrounds these areas).

Here's the 2nd level of the castle walls and the keep.

Next is the 3rd level of the walls/keep, and then the top of the walls/keep. That's two more maps total.
Cheers,
