I was thinking of forging forth before posting, but I had a little conundrum. As I added the crocodiles, I wondered, for an rpg map is it better or not to add beasties, or just leave it for the DM to decide what is necessary for the game? Though, I did think if it is just for adding to the atmosphere of the map, it wouldn't bother too much?
Anyway, I revealed the grid for this version just for the sake of checking if everything is fitted nice before I start doing the heavy lifting of shadows and highlighting for the main building.

Looking good!
I love the beasties! But I am more about the art of it all than play ability sometimes. I think in this case, its not a bad thing to have a few, as crocs or alligators would be common to swamps. DM can always decide if they are more a nuisance or use them in the campaign as they see fit. Its much more different than say beholder where you are forced then to write it into the campaign.
This is looking really nice. The tents and boats look great.

looking good colored! I like it with just a few gators to spice it up, but otherwise leave it to the DM to decide where the monsters are.

Looks good. The building layout really looks like one would see in maps of a ruin, very well done.

Thanks, and that makes clear sense. So, I'll stick with that.

IT'S MAH BIRTHDAY!
So, I wanted to post something today. It is the first time doing an Orrery, but it is a fun challenge. Hope it came out well so far. Also, I started thinking I want a more cartoony look for the map to better fit with the tents and stuff like it. So, I'm trying it without a texture. Let me know yay or nay!
Enjoy your day

The crocodiles are amazing, maybe you could provide them as an asset the GM can move though for the gameplay purposes. Happy birthday.
