The City of Yol-Ghurmak (+WIPs)

[ThomasR]

Not only the design is wonderful, the lineart is amazing but on top of that, you manage to pull a lighting that really brings this nightmare to life ! I feel you've recently really upped your game in the shading department and on this particular map, it broadcasts an end of the world vibe that I really dig. You're a master my friend, there is no doubt !

@ThomasR: Thank you very much. I'm glad to hear you get the feeling I upped my game, I feel like I have stagnated a bit and am actively working on it. =)

@Domino44: Thank you for both the kind words and the rep!

Gorgeous map! I love the colors and shading.
And thanks a lot for sharing some views of your process, btw.

Very nice job ! I like all the details and different ambiance regarding the different places in the city ! I had some troubles at first understanding it was a hole and not a hill in the center. Probably because the light is coming from bottom right ? But the huge bridge helps a lot to figure it out !
Congratulations !

Thank you very much, - JO -! Yeah, I can imagine it is weird that there is a crater. There is an epic campaign, actually, a good reason for this. The rulers used what yould be described as their magnum opus, ripping out a huge chunk of the city with demonic assistance to lift it up and drift through the enemy. The part was destroyed, but the crater remained. I attached a picture of what it looked like. Aventuria, the gaming world, is pretty much living. So there are things happening all the time. There was a hill at some point

IIRC the illustration is from Caryad.

This is really brilliant and even without the flavour text it's easy to tell that something dangerous and calamitous is happening here. Great work.

Thank you very much Czepeku! Glad to hear it =)

Beautiful map. I love that it's not muddied by too many labels.
