August 2016 Challenge: Tower of the Minotaur

[snodsy]

Thanks Daniel, your right, I was trying to show it sloping downward, but I messed up the side walls there, I'll work on that thanks!

[Bogie]

Looking good snodsy, great linework, love the perspective view.

some color and shadow, added the Labyrinth Plan view based on the drawing, one path out for the lucky maiden!

That's great !... and you just added a whole town, just like that :-D

I like the whole map... I'm just wondering if the title with the minotaur could be better included in the map (it's too "clean" or there could be something behind other than the sky ? I'm not sure...)

[ChickPea]

Oh wow, that's looking fantastic, Snodsy! What a difference the colouring makes.

I noticed a couple of little typos in the text at the top right. Should be 'sportsmanship' and 'band of soldiers'. Also, in the final sentence, think it should be 'gets' to roam.

I'm loving what you're doing here!

It looks great snodsy! I have to double -JO- about the title illustration, and the labyrinth plan seems a bit digital compared to the hand drawn style of the rest of the map, but overall it looks lovely!

Hmmmn.

Thought I'd commented earlier, but must have pressed the wrong button!

This is great work, Snodsy.

Since the consensus of opinion is leaning towards that title being a bit too clean, how about a faint suggestion of menacing clouds behind it - hanging over the maze itself. Toning down the contrast of the title might help? I don't know

[snodsy]

Thanks all, appreciate the comments, I'm not done with the top illustration yet, and Yes Mouse Menacing is a word that should be visually depicted in his character. I'll probably add some shadowing on the TOP VIEW especially the cliffs and then dissolves into the background. ChickPea thanks for the typo catches, not my strong suit

[Abu Lafia]

This is coming together really great snodsy! Your coloring is (as always) splendid and gives a lot of flair to it. The little details in the labyrinth and the city next to it look just awesome.

And I thought I was the only one crazy enough to try a labyrinth!

This looks fabulous, snodsy!!! The colors and textures fit very well together, and I like perspective!
Are you going to add any(more) in the way of vegetation? I think it would flesh this map out even better. And I completely agree that it needs that 'menacing' element to really make it stand out.

Overall this is brilliant!
