Thread: The old watch Inn

    I love it, Jo

    I have to admit its been a while. I'd almost forgotten this one with all the other lovely maps you've been drawing in the last couple of months.

    No one else has mentioned it, I know, which makes me wonder if its just me, but do you think it would look even better if you gave those floor plans just a couple more millimetres space between them and the edge of the frame?

    Thnks a lot... though it's not a well, but a semi-destroyed tower... I still have to work on the shadows to make it obvious

    Thanks ! I used a tutorial found here in the guild, for Illustrator... I had to adapt it, but I think it worked not so bad...

    Thanks a lot Thomas... I'm glad you liked it... I thought about that frame for months... that's the best I could think, regarding the subject...

    Thanks Mouse ! I see what you mean and I'll see what I can do about it...

    Here's an update... I worked on the courtyard and the paved road because as Mouse and Whisper my name said, it was too new and neat. So I spent the day destroying that road... !

    I worked on the plan of the first floor too... it's really a long term work

    The amount of detail you've put into those buildings is truly astounding. The border is also very impressive. Great stuff!

    The sheer detail and dedication you put into each of you maps is really inspiring, Joel!

    This one in particular as I'm just finishing up an inn map myself. I may just have to steal your idea of the inn sign title if that's alright with you...

    Of course, you're welcome ! And thanks for your kind words !
    It's funny how's perception : I found most of my work sloppy ... I know that I could be a lot more thorough in drawing the details, and I see in every of my maps all the places where my stroke is not finished, where the colors does not fill completely the surface, and so on...
    I still have that crazy idea that someday I'll be patient enough to carry all my attention to every stroke in a map, and that I'll take all the time needed, without impatiently jumping to the fellowing step (just to see how it'll looks...)... Someday, maybe... meanwhile, I have too much ideas, too much maps waiting in my head to be drawn and never enough time...
    I guess it's more or less the same for anyone ?

    Haha, yeah, I think you've summed it up pretty well. Almost all of my maps, I can see something I've done in a rush, something not quite right, something where I think I've mashed lines together horribly, but that's always the curse of any art, or any endeavour I guess. You always see the "flaws" because you've lived through them and been up close and personal with it all.

    Strangely enough with my inn map, the second part of what you say really comes through, as I've hopped all over the place on that one. Putting in colours, shadows, etc here and there without even finishing up the layout or the linework.

    Yeah... it's the "let me see ! Let me see !" Syndrom... You somehow know that it'll be better looking with colors and shadows, so you want to see it straight away... It's really a work on oneself, learning patience and self confidence... Maps makes us better women and men !

    ... And now I have to stop my medics...
