Voolf's miscellaneous art

Really nice maps! I like how you separate natural stone walls a great deal

Interesting dungeon. I always appreciate when dungeons have alignment variations. Looks great.

Thank you guys. Always appreciate your comments.



This year I am going to do another Guild City district, but before that, here is a little warm up before that.

The sketch design looked nice, but as I am filling in more buildings i like it less and less for some reason.
This suppose to be much bigger map, but i have decided to cut it in half now and do something bigger for the actual guild ward.

Oh I love this Voolf, I have such admiration for your clean style and the way you vary building structures. I often get stuck in a rut of using the same building style without much variance, which is a problem area I've been working on.

What's your secret?

Hey Adfor

This style is going back a few years when we have started GuildCity Community project and J.E. was doing this zoom in beautiful buildings and many of us were inspired by him back then. He is the master of those
I like this zoom in city roofs, but they take much time because you need to draw a lot of details to make it look nice.

As for the variety, I do too struggle a lot to come up with something nice. That is why i do not do many city maps to begin with. One great advice i can pass along (also from J.E. is to use google satelite maps and look on the real city layouts and roofs. That is a good reference, but it takes practice to start throwing different buildings on your own on fly, unfortunately.

Almost finished with the buildings. Next some vegetation here and there, then colouring and shading.

Finished lines for this little town, now time for colours and shades.

Most of the shades is done. I have to add a bit of texture to the roof now. Just started it. I also want to redo the crest a little, because i dont like it so much

Thank you very much Mouse. Good to see you on CG. You seem to be very busy lately.

Thank you

I'm about to start a new job next week - nothing to do with mapping but never mind, eh. Strangely, it means that I won't have to be spending 35 hours a week job searching any more and may actually have more time on my hands to do what I love. Odd how that happens isn't it.
