14 - The Ward of Chiezbehrg [J.Edward]

[- JO -]

Oh my god !!!!

The difference between the shaded parts and the rest is mind blowing! Especially when viewing the entire image.
I imagine it will take a lot of time to finish, but this district will really be a masterpiece !!!

[Abu Lafia]

Splendid work John! Especially all those lovely little alleyways and back lanes are getting even more character. I absolutely admire your eye for even the tiniest details. The small strip of light at the shadow of the gateway to the Zul relics for example, indicating by the shadow/light alone that it's an actual passageway. Just brilliant!
Can't wait to see it complete one day... but please take your time!

[J.Edward]

This is absolutely amazing John.
I drew inspiration from your map for my guild city map, but every time I look at this I realize I really can't imitate the master. Unbelievable.
You're a real pioneer in modern cartography.

Thanks Josiah
I enjoy trying new stuff and wondering about in new map territory when I can.

Oooooh John!!!

Its absolutely gorgeous... delightful... incredible...

I am spellbound!!!

Thank you MOuse

As others, i love it and you already know that your maps inspire me so much.

Yes, it is a big difference JO... the shadow pretty much makes the image.

Thanks Abu Here's something to tide you over for a bit.

Here's an update for the day/weekend...
I did a decent amount over the last 2 or 3 days.
Getting closer toward completion, which is great.
I don't want to take a year to do this one.
Still, there's a lot more to do on here.

The most fun part is going to be the labeling for this one.
I have loads of fun stuff to put in here.

[Chashio]

That is stunning and fabulous. Yes.

[Matthew VE]

Masterful! Absolutely beautiful!

[Mouse]

I've run out of words.... LOL!

And as for you taking a year to do anything? Nah.

Your map making skills and the speed at which you work are legendary here

[ChickPea]

Amazing work!

[kacey]

I can only echo what everyone else has said, amazing work as always. Can I ask what's the technique you use to make you're shadows so nice? Blend mode? Colour? Do you do these by hand?

[J.Edward]

Errrr, I have not posted anything in a while.
I have stuff to post... but I just sort of got behind.
well, the map is done [in a sense] but the work goes on.

I am about to post the finished version in Finished maps and then I'll pop back around here for more of an update on things.
