Town of Duskford

[J.Edward]

No problem Wired.

Arise! Arise from the dead!

At the start of the year I made a to-do list of all the unifinished maps and projects I found on my harddrive, and in doing so I stumbled across this oldie from 2015.

It's not going to be a complete remake - since that would mean redoing all the houses again, even though that would probably be necessary - but more of a remaster and continuation of the original WIP.

Oh, and it's going to be colored instead of just B&W.

Update!

Did some preliminary coloring and shading, and as you can see I added a ton of annotations for what I still want to add.

I love the roof shading and the surroundings are promising !

[Wired]

I added more lineart elements, additional trees and hedges, a bit more forest, and I switched the basic grass layer to something more subtle.

I guess your forest could benefit from some shadows cast by the higher trees.

Good call, I'll see what I can do.

Shading's not done, haven't had the time to implement Thomas' suggestions yet.

Okay, I started adding additional shadows as suggested by Thomas, and I've added a few other elements as well. Just for fun I've added two versions of the town map using different filters. Let me know which one you prefer.

I prefer the first one, the colours are more vibrant and fit together better IMO.
