53 - The Hustleflow Ward [Voolf]

Wow this looks great, I do like the tiles, but can see it working without, especially since you have interesting roof lines, maybe on the yellow/golden building (ones with little detail) you could add a chimney or something to give it interest, those are the ones that may see stark without the tiles or other element. Either way it looks wonderful

[Voolf]

Thanks for suggestions. My original plan was to make sligtly different tiles for every different colour of buildings. Some roofs are simple because they are like sorage etc, without chimneys - yellow ones. I imagine those beeing made from thatch or planks. I must rethink whole idea, as for now it is hard to find a good tiles method mathching straigh lines of buildings. Making them irregular just dosent match, making them with straight lines looks a bit artificial?

I definately want to make tiles because roofs look just too plain without anything.

You might just try the tiles you made, but smaller ? I liked the way they look and the way you draw them, but for me, it's just a matter of scale
And I agree with you, you should make tiles
Otherwise, real nice vivid colors ! I like your work on your district, it'll look just fine !

Maybe... just maybe... there's room for a little colour texture here, rather than line work?

I don't know.

Its what I would do to suggest the tiles if this was my map (I wish). Not as hard and visible as black lines, and only in patches and by hand - not dead straight lines, and not the same over the entire roof. I'm a CC3 mapper, though, and textured colour is what its all about for me.

Please ignore me if this is a crap suggestion

Thanks for the suggestoins so far, i will try both smaller tiles and maybe texture work instead of linework. I will leave tiles for later as now i dont feel like experimenting with them.

Here's river and some more love for trees.

I LOVE that water! How you show the flow of it is just gorgeous... and the waterfall! *Mouse gets all squeaky with excitement*

I just love it

Do you think you might do a tutorial on depicting water top down one day?

[ChickPea]

I think i can, i will keep that in mind, should not be too time consuming.

Thank you

Almost done with the grass. It is super tiresome and take so much time, i am actually starting to think this map is taking too much time already. I can't see the end yet.

Still have to work on grass and then i want to make some slight changes to some roofs, dome in particular. Lastly the tiles !, still have to experiment here. Ah, i really want to finish this one already .

That grass is certainly pretty detailed. Its like you are drawing every tuft. I didn't know you lavished such care on the details like this, but the end result is far superior to the grass in the one before it
