Looking good.
But that water looks awfully green.
Except in the flumes above the wheels where it's yellow!

I'm just getting back to things here at the guild, so forgive me if ask a stupid question.

What are you using to draw, ink and color the map with?

Thanks Falco!

Yeah, colours aren't really there yet. Its mostly placeholders for now. The different brightness levels are mostly correct, at least where I've finalised them already, but the exact colour might still change. Still very much a WIP!

Ooh yeah, the yellow in the flumes is sunlight falling in! No such thing visible outside yet, but that'll probably tie the two together nicely. And shadows are blue, obviously.

Hey there! Welcome back! As coincidence would have it, I just answered a similar question in another thread. Be sure to check it out here. If you have any questions I didn't answer there, just yell!

Hey Caenwyr really creative work, brilliant idea and execution!

My only critique would be the water flowing into the mill, what happens when flooding occurs? I would expect some form of retaining wall to keep the waters from running over their bounds in such a case.

Cheers!

Thanks. I too use Photoshop, and because i lost my CS3 disk, I now have to pay a monthly fee for using photoshop. Is that just a kick in the nuts or what?? Anyways...
I take it you use a lot of paths and probably many, many layers? I haven't ever tried to draw actual straight lines for buildings or castles and the like. I would be interested in your process. Have you done any Tutorials here? (I guess I can do a search after I post this to find that out, lol) I'm just getting back into my mapping again, and after so many years, my PS skills have diminished and I'm looking to brush up all the things I've forgotten, so any tips you want to pass along as well is appreciated.

Thanks for your time.
