    I was convinced you would do marvels with Sketchup Snodsy, but you've gone further than my expectations! Impressive map, with the good colors, the good perpspective view and a very well balanced level of details... Inspiring and instructive!

    Thanks guys for the kind words, it was a unique challenge using sketch up and photoshop together, and it seems others liked this approach as well, although it did take a lot more time, but was worth it. I know other have used it and it inspired me to try, it will be interesting to see how others approach it, I'll definitely try again - but I did miss the freehand drawing, so this is another tool in my toolbox.

    Falconius - it wasn't really a camera view, the 3D model allow you to rotate around, so I basically rotated and zoomed around until I got the perspective I wanted. It did bother me at first that it wasn't a true orthographic or two point perspective view - where the verticals are straight up and down, but I think it actually adds to the illusion of a real setting on a round earth .

    Abu I agree that the mountains could use more variation, but your point of the city being the hero is also true. I will note this for the next one I do and may go back into this one.

    Warlin - was hoping my next one was for a commission, but can't compete with free. However my mesopotamian will be used for educational purposes.

    DanielHasenbos thanks for the comment on the buildings being too uniform, in the end it really helped to put in some deviation into the houses.

    Thanks for the reps and comments along the way guys I really appreciate it from this incredible group of gifted artist - means a lot.

    Wonderful composition and perspective! Love the colors as well. It's fun to witness your style mature over the last year or so.

    Cheers,
