Aswar's Dungeon - Caenwyr's Quickie #1

[- JO -]

Excellent! I'm glad to see someone else using this tutorial!
Guillaume Tavernier's work is really beautiful and what you do with it is excellent!
If I may make one very small remark: I would avoid drawing the wall in transparency. I think you don't need it: we fully understand that there is a wall in front of us.
Did you try to just draw the door frames? Maybe that's enough (if doors are important).
That's only my opinion, but I find that the transparent wall spoils the beauty of your drawing a little.

Thanks JO, that's a useful tip indeed!

I dropped the semitransparent wall but kept the doorframes as you suggested. Then I started working in the top-down plans for the different levels of the dungeon (looking a bit beyond the cut-offs in the ISO version to get a better idea of the structure of the place).

I still need to add a legend in the right column, but this is nearing completion!

I'm still torn between two versions for the plans. One where I just draw the level itself, and a white void where it opens up to lower levels, and one where the lower levels are drawn as well, but darkened to set them apart.

Which do you guys feel works best?

Alright people, I finished the map, and published it here! Thanks for your feedback!
